Raging Waters was definately full of "rage" the day Kim was there....

I wouldnt always recommend that people face their fears. Especially when 2 of their fears are water and heights and they are facing them BOTH at the same time! Well thats what sweet little Kimmie was trying to do and this is what she has to show for it.......Brave girl :)



And this was the culprit of a broken wrist.....
oh and girls......make sure your bikini top is securely fastened. Dont ask why, JUST DO IT!!

Dawsie Bears Birthday

Turning 10 Dawson requested Camping on his birthday - double digits, this was a big one. I told him I was worried he might lose his dimples, but thankfully they are still there. Dawson LOVES to play his video games, so you can only imagine that he wanted an XBox 360 for his gift! He is a very sweet boy and we all love him so much. We all had a great day together - he wanted a homemade ice cream cake - so thats what he got and I must say - YUMMY!! We love you Dawsie Bear!

Summer Vacation in Powell

The pictures pretty much say it all.......we had a great time. Family, Friends and Fun in the Sun! Cant wait to go back again~~

We have a 12 year old!

Brady turned 12 this year-what a great day he had. We went to lake Powell on his birthday. So he got the best of both worlds~ How cool is it to have birthday cake at home and explore caves in Lake Powell on the same day!!!!


He is a handsome guy and is "sporting" the longer hair style......

Brady was eyeing some Oakley sunglasses for quite some time, so YEP that was his present! We love you so much Brady and are so proud of you-you are such a great kid!

Love~Mom and Dad

Spring Break - Lake Mead

We had a great spring break vacation....decided to take a road trip to vegas and do some boating on Lake Mead with the Banta's! We had a great time.....played at the pool, showed the kids the big city at night. Lou Lou liked "all the movies playing" on the strip. The boys all did some cliff diving off the rocks and the girls even got in the lake (the water was only 68 degrees....burrr) But the sun helped warm us up. We had a great time, it always feels good to have a last minute getaway!
