Boating - Love It!!

I wish this picture of Noah was clearer but good enough he is such a champ look at him knee boarding at 4 years old. You rock Noah!! Love you!!

We had the boat out a lot this summer and loved it. Noah and Gavin both got up on the knee board. Skiing was great I got up on salolom?!?(Is that how you spell it?) Ye haw... it was fun.

A Band Aid for EVERY Owie

Autumn bumped her eye and then she said, "I need a ban-aid." I gave her one thinking her dexterity wasn't so accurate. A moment later I turned around and this is what I saw. I started giggling and headed for my camera.

I love my den!!

Here's my cute boys, Mandy and cub scouts!! We went and visited the Fire Station. The fireman was pointing out all of the tools in the fire truck and then he stopped and said, "Who's name is Noah?" Of course my heart starts beating fast and my eyes opening wider as I watch Noah raise his arm. Then the fireman said, "You write your "N" backwards when you spell your name." I looked at him puzzled and then the fireman moved out of the way and I could see that Noah had wiped his name on the firetruck in the dust!! I charity laughed thinking my goodness I'm glad he didn't set off the alarm!!

Hannah and Jonny come to visit!

My brother Jonathan and his wife Hannah came to visit the beginning of August. Hannah took her nursing board exam and passed! I wished I would have taken a decent picture but yet again I wasn't thinking. Here Dave was helping Jon and fix their car. It worked for a while but now they are in the market for a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Love ya-Kam

The Ducky and the Ducky

I just had to document one last moment with the "Duckies" She calls her binky and her blanket both "ducky." This picture was taken in March and her binky was taken away a week or two after her birthday in April. Oh, how we love the duckies!!

Winter Wonders

Here's Noah in his Dalmation puppy hat making snowmen. I think the snow was too powdery to make snowmen but it sure is fun to play in.



Gavin and his dad found that if you pack the snow really hard in a bucket that it sticks pretty good. Gavin was proud of this creation and came in the house to get me and show me.


Noah's first ski lesson. Dad was impressed with his enthusiasm for the sport!!


A snow bunny says, "Cheese!"

We went sledding in Idaho City in February. The sledding was fun and I got the family to pose quick while I put the camera on timer in the snow. The only problem was getting through all the layers to go to the bathroom. With little boys they have to go and they have to go now!

Ya Vegas Baby!!!

Amy, Essie, Mindy, Ana, Mari, Kari
Me, Micky, Mom, Kris, Hannah
I went to Vegas with my mom, aunt, sisters and sisters-in-law(11 of us total). We stayed at a home that we rented and it was beautiful. The funnest part was just laying in the sun around the pool with no "little" interuptions. We went shopping, eating at great resturants, and of course visited the strip. We met the guy that owns the house and we ended up leaving him a book of Mormon and wrote on a note and left it for him.

Here's me and my sister Mindy. We are standing infront of Joe's care. I took this picture for Dave because I knew he would appreciate the car. It goes super fast!! 0-100 in like 5 seconds.

Here's Amy and Kari, aren't they cute!

Happy Birthday Mindy, let me eat some of that chocolate and nuts!!
