Bear Lake Adventures

We spent the last weekend with Jason's family up at the family cabin, and over boating at Bear Lake. And I finally found our camera cord, and got all of my pics uploaded! *Disclaimer* Loads and loads of pictures coming up. You have been warned.

We start off with Makayla trying to get the hang of her new big girl bike...

Makayla took a picture of me studying while waiting for everyone to get here!

Playing at the park...

After Jason's dad arrived, they got straight to work building Jason's workbench in the garage...Kayla was once again the photographer.

Me taking her picture for once!

almost done! (I still have to go take a pic of the finished product. )
On the way up to the cabin the next day, I discovered something was not quite right with my eye...It felt bruised...how does one bruise an eyeball? Seriously. It was dumb. And got much redder than this. That is my sad/what is wrong with me face...haha.
Roasting some mallows.


Playing Skittles at the cabin. Great entertainment.
Goofball!

I love this pic.

Time to go boating!!
Wade and Debbie rented a boat for a few hours, and we made the most of it!!
Tubing, woohoo!!
Makayla being brave, deciding to give the tube a go!
laughing with Daddy, another one of my favorite pics!
Look at me go! haha...
Yes, we are nerds...
Look at him...dang!
Wade got up on the wakeboard!
Boat Master Jay
My most favorite pic of all...Good work Jackie for capturing this fine moment!

Buddies!
Like a pro!
Out for another round with aunt Ashley!
And we ended our Bear Lake trip with a few hours on the beach. We were all pretty worn out and didn't last too long though. Then we headed back to the cabin for one more night, played a round of Settlers, Austin is the King...for now.
Then we headed home the next morning.
Such a fun time. We love it when Jason's fam visits, because we only get to see them a few times a year. And we had our first house guests at our new house! That was pretty sweet! Next time hopefully the won't be on an air mattress, and will have a real bed. :)
Till next time!

Stay Tuned

Coming up next...(as soon as I find the camera battery charger and cord...) pictures from the Horrocks family visit, the workbench project, the cabin stay, and Bear lake boating adventures...

Orphan boys, girly room, and a shaved cat.

Bet that title got your attention didn't it!? This is probably the most random grouping of pictures ever. But it's what we've been up to the last few weeks, so here we go! Be prepared for picture overload. It's been a while since I've gotten pics off the camera!

We finally got Makayla's room painted, set up and ready to go!! I still have to put together a flower arrangement for the top of her dresser, but it's mostly done!! We just need to find a really cute bedspread to match her purple/pink/green room. The one on there is just an old one my mom had when she gave us that bed. It's ok, but not super girly...
And that dresser, we got on KSL classifieds for cheap-o!! LOVE it!!


There's most of her stuffed animals...and I am in love with those curtains. I think we are going to get some light green ones just like them for Brooklyn's room, once we decide to tackle that one.

And I love these cute metal flowers. Got them at Hobby Lobby, 50% off!

Here's Kayla chasing grandpa's chickens around the yard.
Here is the shaved cat...haha. She looks so funny. She has such thick long fur, we have to shave her in the summer, since it gets all gross from being outside. Even though she looks really funny, this is the best shave job yet! This is her trying to climb up my leg...with no claws....:)
And for work, they had a fundraiser dinner and needed some little orphan boys to go collect the donations. So we had Makayla and Haylee and Dillon and some other friends kids come help. They all looked so dirty and cute!
Little orphan Haylee-
And little orphan Makayla-
A get together with an old student ward friend visiting from Kansas. Can you spot the child hidden in this picture!?
Maryann took pics of everyone's fam while she was here. This was our pic.
And this was one ANGRY baby...she was so grouchy that day.
Hahaha...this cracks me up. Her lips look insanely huge.


Makayla's turn with the camera...lovely.
Being a goofball...like usual.
my flowers! we have loads of these blooming all around the house. I love them. Too bad I can't seem to keep my potted plants alive...but these ones are rockin it!
At the Cache Valley cruise in. Baking in the sun. Actually, we are in the shade here...but it only lasted for about 6 seconds.
And that's pretty much everything we've been up to the last month! I'll add more pics of Kayla's room when I get her flower thingy done.
Now we just have to finish unpacking before Jason's fam gets here the first week in August!! One more room to paint, boxes to store/unpack, pictures to hang...we've been slacking. But we did finally get the sprinkler system running!! WOOHOO! Jason made about 15 trips to home depot before finally calling someone, who then told us that Home Depot and Lowe's have stopped carrying the specific part we needed, so he had to go to some specialty store to find it. That made Jason feel a little bit better about not being able to find it!
Jason and his dad are going to be building him a work bench in the garage while he's here. That's going to be a fun project for them. And Jason is wanting to build a bookshelf on one of our walls downstairs, so we'll see if they have time for that too. I'm excited for that. We have SO MANY books!!
That's it for now I guess, hopefully it's not another entire month before I can blog again!

A Cutie in Blue

This is my little cutie pie. One of them anyway. She really likes to ham it up in case you can't tell. ;)

Kayla and Haylee playing at the cabin.

My favorite pic! I think this is the funniest face. She and Haylee planted themselves there by the fountain for most of the day.

That's some tasty water!

Nothing really to this post besides some pics I thought were cute! Hopefully we have a more eventful week with some fun things to post about!
