An insane amount of pictures...

DISCLAIMER: I know there are a ton of pictures, more than you care to see, but I didn't want to do them in a slide show because then I can't print them off and put them in a book later on. Also, it is my little scrapbook so I needed to include everything. Feel free to skip this post!!! :)

Let's start with swim lessons - Kenyon grew to love them:

Very excited to go off of the diving board



On the way on what Maya called "Our summer vacation"



Kenyon and cousin Olivia G. (there are 2 cousin Olivias) playing peek-a-boo

The men at Rowdy's wedding!


Do you see that their sons are plotting how to climb in that pond and the dads are oblivious?!

Give Kenyon a stick and he is entertained for hours!



Of course I had to include a pic of me and my pina colada slurpee


Camping at Smith and Moorehouse




Tiff wanted to go for a ride and I was cold and tired so she took me around the lake. I look like the most pathetic city girl!! :)

Lovin' her Aunt Tiff!



We headed out on an adventure with sticks in hand




Anyone want a smore?

Grandpa loves his popsicles, but is always willing to share!


Grandparents house in Wyoming - The kids loved the cats. Thankfully they stay outside because I am terribly allergic!

Aunt Vanesia's House in Idaho - Maya hanging out with "the crew" - (CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BABY ON THE WAY KASSIDY!! :)


Pocatello Zoo






Maya loves my cousin Koby and his medals!!

And loves him even more when he takes her for a ride!

Care to try Kenyon's sand-covered sucker from the park in Wyoming?!


Or how about the watermelon rhine he ate at the family reunion in Riverton?!

Dirty ice him and Olivia W. were going after?!


Taylorsville Days fireworks

At home s whisper will wake him, but not the fireworks (Yes, he is wearing Christmas PJs - we were not planning on going out in public that night so we looked really ghetto!!! :)

My almost 16 year old cousin Danielle was telling me about these cool shoes that everyone is buying at Wal-Mart and wearing. When she showed them to me, this is what I saw:

(Anyone having flashbacks to the 90s????!!! I think I had every color! :)


Playing at Adam and Katie's House


Maya and Ellee pretending to sleep at their slumber party


And when I checked on them a while later they were peering out the window at the neighbor's fireworks!

Maya cruising the zipline at the park in Park City


Serious fun with cousins!


The girls at the parade

Kenyon was constantly attacking Corbin and he was such a good sport about it!


Kenyon would get jealous when Grandma Bev held other grandkids and would try to hop on her lap too!



I had fun braiding Chelsey's hair to look like Maya's



Kenyon and Olivia sharing a book


Lunch with my Park City friends - such an amazing group of women!!!



More fun rides!

The slide at the rec center by Jer's parents house that Maya would go down time and time again by herself!



And she also went off of the high dive!


Fish Farm also by Jer's parents - my kind of fishing!!



Okay, no fishing is my kind of fishing. I would not touch the worms - that was Midori's job!! :)

When I caught a fish, he came off of the hook and was flapping all over the walk. I had to kick him to keep him from going back in the water.

And my kids were clinging to me for dear life!!


But the farmer in the background kept helping us city slickers out! Midori had such incredible fishing moves!! She was a real pro!! :)


Touching the worm

My friend Molly sharing a popsicle when we went and hung out at her house.


Oh aren't they cute?!


Jer's cousin Jessica's wedding



Fun with Grandpa!





Playing with our friends' Wacey and Beau Dee's kids in Nana and Grandpa's backyard

Yet another roasted marshmallow
Grandpa, Nana, Kai, and my kiddos


They were having a race!

After being in the car for a while on the way home, we decided he was delirious because he just kept laughing!

We stayed in Vegas on the way home. This made me a little nervous as he looked out our hotel window.


Riding the monorail



Completely exhausted from so much vacationing

Waiting for the Bellagio fountains to start

They won!



And for the last couple of days, Jer's Aunt Valerie and Uncle Doug have been in town. Here they are singing Itsy Bitsy Spider. The kids love them!


There you have it. If you are still looking and reading, you are a real trooper!!

Amazing, what a trip. You do such a good job with Maya's hair, I am going to have to learn all the ticks once Ciannas is long enough and somewhat even, right now we are sporting the mohawk puff. :)

The Richards family said...

I loved it! I love that picture of you and Kenyon where he is asleep on your shoulder - so precious.. Oh and those shoes YES totally 90's but just so you know I bought 2 pair last week. 2 different plaid colors. I love them! :-)

Adam and Tiffany said...

Wow you weren't kidding, that is alot of pictures. Looks like you guys had a blast though. I am soooo jealous. I am dying to go camping. With my hubbys dumb job, we haven't gotten to do that yet this summer. He does work out of town alot and is only in town about 3 days a month. HORRIBLE YES I KNOW! He's had to travel with his job lots the last NINE MONTHS! It is ending very soon. (I hope.) Anyway, no we won't be in AZ again anytime soon. Thats were his job was at that point but he has been traveling all over the US and Candada. Yes we're crazy, and yes it is over soon.
