Fall Break!!

For Fall Break we again headed down to Lake Mead. It was sooo much fun!! The water was glass everyday we were there. The kids had so much fun and I think they all turned into fish. The weather was right around 90 degrees. We couldn't have asked for better water or weather. It was just to bad that the truck had to break down on the way home. I can't complain too much because we made it all the way home and were even able to drop the boat off. It really was a fun 5 days. Thanks everyone for making it such a memorable trip! Tylyn took all the pictures and I had to put most of them on the slide show because they were so good.

Wyoming

We took a trip up to Wyoming to see Troy's Aunt last weekend. She has cancer and is not expected to make it much longer. It was sad and hard to say good by.
They have the biggest back yard ever. The kids had so much fun. They never got bored and were running around the whole time. This is the kids standing over a bridge. The creek runs through their property. Uncle Rex made this toy. The kids (and Troy and Todd) had a lot of fun running and swinging on it. Troy, Taige, Tacoma and Todd. Talon had to try it too. He was so high. Troy was running to catch him before he fell. ...and we wonder how come he had the broken arm.
Tacoma and Troy.
Swinging back to back was Tennley and Tessa. They couldn't get enough of the swings.
Troy, Todd and all the kids went for a ride in the side by side on trails behind their house. They really do have the best back yard ever. I didn't get pictures of everything we did but the kids really never stopped. On the ride there we saw a moose cross the road in front of us. It was so cool.
On the way home we drove through Bear Lake and let the kids play in the lake. They said it wasn't too cold but the rest of us opted to just put our feet in.
Tacoma and Taige playing in the water. They would of stayed in the water all day if we would of had the time.
Even the little ones got in. Kids in underwear you say. Yes, you could say we were a little white trash. They all had lots of fun splashing and sitting in the water.
Tennley, Talon and Tessa. This is Tessa and what a big girl she is. I bet you noticed her underwear. Yes, she is potty trained. She wanted to do it all by herself. She trained herself at 19 1/2 months. I didn't even have to help her a whole lot. I can't believe my youngest is potty trained and we are done with diapers. It is a bitter sweat moment. I wish they didn't have to grow up so fast.
