Tanner

I haven't had much time to add to my blog.  We've had a devastating tragedy in our family.  My baby brother Tanner died on Sept. 28, 2008.  It has been a huge shock, and something you have to learn to deal with day by day.  We will miss his huge smile and those big black eyes.  There will be a huge whole in our hearts, but we need to remember the good times we got to share with him.  I'm so glad my kids were able to know their uncle.  I hope he's eating as much ice cream as he possible can.   We love you Tanner.

California/Lake Tahoe

This was our last event of the summer.  We went to Derek's family reunion in California and Lake Tahoe.  It was really fun, we're really glad we decided to go.  Isaac's just happy being outside.  Here we also have Scuba Steve, he thought he was the best snorkeler around.  My princess Baylee and her pouty face.  We also went to the boardwalk and rode the rides.  They all had a blast, there's no pic of Baylee, because she thinks she's so old.  She was off riding the BIG rides.


Fishing

We went fishing all the kids caught a fish.  I didn't get a pic fast enough of Isaac's fish.  This was Baylee's first fish ever.  She was pretty proud of herself.  As you can see Derek didn't catch one, that's why Carson likes to call his dad a no fishing sissy.  This isn't the first time Carson caught a fish and Derek didn't.  It's a little bit of a sensitive subject around our house.  

Lagoon

Baylee had a dance competition at Lagoon this year, so we all went and had some fun on the rides.  This was Baylee's first time on the rocket(I think she was a little scared).  After she rode it once we couldn't get her away from it.  Here are the boys in the scariest pic ever.  The thought of them behind the wheel scares me to death.  The only ride they hated was Rattle Snake Rapids.  They had a great time, and ask to go back all the time.

Grandma's

Here's a few pics from grandma Lynne's.  The happiest place on earth for the kids.  Grandma had just bought them a big water slide and a pool.  Thanks grandma Lynne, we love you.

Bear Lake 2008

We had alot of fun this summer.  This is the first summer we were never bored.  Here are some pics from Bear Lake.  I'm pretty sure Isaac thinks he's a bathing beauty.  He laid like this in the water at least 80% of the time.  My kids are like little fish, they would spend all day in the water if we let them.

The first blog

Well this is my first attempt at blogging, so be very patient with me.  I was looking at Krishel's blog, and some of my cousins blogs.  Man I haven't seen some of them forever.  I didn't even know some of them had kids.  It's than that I realized the importance of a blog(but mainly for the sanity of my mother, she can't get enough of her grandchildren).  I seem to have a very busy life right now so I will try really hard to get pictures up.
