Watersking!

In August our friends Eric and Katie invited us up to Jordanelle for the evening! We had a ton of fun swimming and wakeboarding!! Well at least Byron had fun wakeboarding! Just as Byron got out and started the weather took a turn for the worst! In 30 seconds it went from calm nice weather to whitecaps and waves. We still had a great time!!

Katie, Julieanne and me!!





Coleman and Byron had a blast jumping into the water from the boat!





Eric, Julieanne, Coleman and Byron taking a dip!!

Coleman climbing up to jump in again!

Even Rikki had some fun!!!

Cute kids!!!

Lagoon on the 4th of July

Every 4th of July Byron's dad takes the family to Lagoon! We love this tradition and can't wait for it each year!! I did a terrible job taking pictures this year but was able to get a few from my mother-in-law!

Us and Byron's brother Brent and his family!

A bunch of the grand kids with Grandpa West!! Rikki wasn't too happy here!!




Most of the family just as we got there! Coleman and Byron couldn't wait and got on a ride!!

Rikki did so great!! I was pleasantly surprised!!


Daddy always making everything fun!!!

Sheri, Tami and I on the Log Flume.

Probably Coleman's favorite ride!!

Or maybe this was his favorite!!!

Sweet little girl!!

I couldn't believe that Coleman could go on the new ride, Bombora!! Byron said that he had fun but when I showed him the picture just now he said, "I didn't like that!"

He really liked this one!! Obviously!!

The always fun Bumper cars!!!

I forced him on this one, and oh did he not like that!!

The Zoo!

THE ZOO!!!

We have visited the zoo a lot this summer!! It has been so much fun!! Coleman loves to see the animals but I think he loves the dinosaurs the most!!!

The gator was pretty cool this day! Coleman watched it for at least 20 minutes! We had to brib him to leave!!

All the girafes were hanging out together here and i thought that it would be a great picture, well Coleman didn't want to take one but I got him to finally smile but not a very good one of the girafes!!

This is a nice dinosaur!!

My Aunt had some nieces in town!! Us on the train!!

Save Daddy!!!

This is the squirting one!! It has taken at least 5 times of visiting the zoo for Coleman to get this close to it!!!

Here he is deciding to venture in!!!

Wendy and the babies on the train!!

Checking out there maps and dinosaur info!!!

The train is one of our favorite parts!!

He is pretty scared of the T-rex. He usually won't take his eye of it as we pass. Last time we were there we told him to scare the T-rex and now he RAARRS at it!!!

His first and only time on the carasail. I think he gets motion sickness!

Lots of fun at the playground!!

T-rex eating Savannah!!!

Lots of cousin fun!!!!

St. George!!!

Last weekend we went to St. George for our nephew Carter's baptism. We had a lot of fun!! We stayed with Byron's mom and step-dad in a condo for the weekend! As you will see each day consisted of so much fun that Coleman couldn't keep his eyes open!!

Because they make this program so hard to work (or I am just not smart enough to figure it out) we will be working backwards!

This was on the way home. Byron bought him this gold club set and he would not put it down. He slept with it the whole drive home!!

The family at the pool!!!

Below he fell asleep watching a movie with his hand in the marshmallow bag. Then we woke him up and moved him from the chair to the couch where he then fell back asleep (above)!!

He loved the pool!! It was the second thing he would ask for when he woke up, right after he asked for Grandma Cheese!!!

Carter and Brent!

On our way to the baptism we gave him the marshmallows thinking this would keep him awake. No such luck!! Hand in the bag again!!
After the baptism we were at Byron's brother's house eating dinner when a lady came in from the back yard to say that there were some little boys on the side of the house peeing in the dirt!! Well I thought not mine, he still wears diapers! Well I was wrong!!! A couple of older boys peed on the side of the house so Coleman thought that he wanted to too. So he took his diaper off and peed in the dirt!!! It was pretty funny to come out of the house to a little white bare butt!! Now only if we could harness that into potty training!!

AHHH!!! Daddy and Coleman at the playground!!

More time at the pool!!! We would have to bribe him to leave the pool!! I wonder how long he would have chosen to stay had we not persuaded him to leave??!!

Rikki had some fun too!!!

Pretty little girl!!!

At the condo!!

It was a great, much needed trip!
