Our Family having soup at Grandpa Horsey's house.
Grandpa Horsey and kids

Some of the grandkids

Blue-eyed beauties! Oh I love these two. Couldn't you just squish them?!

Two little mommies and best buddies!

My three cuties. I think they were the cutest kids I saw! Ü

Side story---I asked Brett if he would take a picture of the kids before we started our day of events. I looked out and saw him taking a picture in front of that bike. I *suggested* that maybe we could find a prettier background. Ever since he took that one amazing photo at Lake Powell (ok maybe it was 3 pictures) he told me he doesn't need my input, since he is obviously a pro. So you decide. Ugly bike/cooler or......

Greenery, flowers and weeds???

Who is that crazy guy driving the car? Mr. Basketball head thought it would be funny to scare people while driving. He got some funny looks! We pulled into Macey's parking lot and a little boy dressed in a Woody costume looked over at Brett, got a weird look on his face, looked again, scared face, looked away, looked back--really sad face. It was so funny. We are easily entertained!

Leanna, Hallee, Ethan and Grandma Lundahl

SCARY!

POST EDIT: I'm not sure what is scarier. The fact that we have a life size elk behind us or us being dorks. You decide?

Heidi and Kenna (seriously--look how grown up and big McKenna is getting. She grew 3 1/2 inches in 6 months! Sigh)

Lisa and Dad

Kenna and Grandma Lundahl

Standing in the longest line at the mall for about 2 pieces of candy each.....lame!
Mommy and Kenna

Hallee-Cutest butterfly ever!

Dad and Maecee, I mean Dorothy and Toto. She was so scared of this guy that was wearing stilts wearing all black. He scared the living daylights out of her!!! I was waiting for him to fall!

The Neon girl and Dracula going to eat some grub.

Kaidin, Ethan, Kenna, Maecee, and Hallee (Oh and Tylee in the carseat)

People kept asking McKenna what she was. They called her anything from Rainbow Brite, 80's girl, or rodeo clown. She said she was simply the NEON GIRL! My brother asked her if she borrowed my old clothes.....ha, ha funny Jas!

Yea I'm almost caught up in my life on this blog. Now onto Basketball and Gymnastics.....

Leaves are falling all around...

Cutie

Leaves on the head

Maecee and Charlotte

Maecee kept telling me that she wanted to just "jump in a pile of leaves"

May the force be with you. Until next year....

Ha, Eth makes a pretty good Yoda!

Bryce Canyon

We decided to make a quick stop to see Bryce Canyon on our way home from Lake Powell. I wasn't sure we should stop because that drive is so long, but it was well worth it! Even though it was pouring rain. What an absolutely unbelievable place. It seriously almost looked fake, it was unreal. Totally worth the stop!
Can you belive it. I told Brett I wanted to hike down there. He gave me "the look". I said Yea, I know I couldn't make it back up, but I really want to go down there, then ride a four wheeler back up??? Or a horse? Definately not a bike, Yea I'm awesome!

Awwww...

Our last stop before home. The Chevron to sit on the big rocking chair. We stopped to gas up, along with every other person in the world! The drive home (on I-15) was horrible. It was so crowded and on top of that raining, our friends that we went down with almost had someone hit their boat. But we made it home safe and sound, with about 20 pounds of laundry to do. We had all of our suitcases in the back of the truck and it was hailing/raining/downpouring. Needless to say everything had to be washed.

Beautiful!

The crazies

Lake Powell-One year later

Swimming with Daddy!
Brett jumping off the cliff. McKenna and Brett jumped off this year. I did it last year and it KILLED my neck, so I decided to skip it this year. Stupid neck!!!!

This is Sunday, on our way home. We stopped at the look-out over the dam. Maecee of course thinks everything is a piece of gymnastics equipment and was trying to walk the beam, right next to the busy street. Her protective brother helped her off. They are so cute together!

Looking at the Dam and Maecee climbing....

When we were down at the breakfast Sunday morning Ethan said "mom, why are we the only ones in church clothes?" I thought it was funny that he noticed, but I explained to him why.

Just fishin'

Didn't catch a thing this time

Sunning and snacking

Going potty for the 100th time Ü

Is this not one of the coolest pictures you've ever seen? I was driving up Antelope Canyon and it was pure glass! Absolutely breathtaking! I'm pretty sure we all had the biggest perma grins. I kept screaming with excitement...I know that sounds weird but it was unbelievable! OH and I HAVE to tell you that BRETT TOOK THESE PICTURES!!

Another WOW!

And another..Don't these pictures make you want to head to Lake Powell right now? It does that to me!

Kenna became a real pro this year.

Going for a swim to cool off. Me and my girlies! Maecee had a serious death grip on me. She was really scared at first but then by the end I would just hold her hand and swim with her. We were swimming to this rock below

.....to join up with these crazies! It was sooo fun! We all went exploring while Brett and the others fished. There were little rocks that were perfectly round (shaped like Cocoa Puffs). The kids would all pick up handfuls of them and then throw them at the same time. It looked and sounded so cool. It sounded like rain. We did that for quite awhile and then they found a small pond and went to step in it and it was like quicksand. It was pretty funny to watch their faces! We also found this weird substance that looked like Moon Sand. When you would get it wet, it would turn into spongy clay. It was weird. McKenna kept saying, this is going to be my favorite memory.

Maecee in front of Rainbow Bridge. I didn't know that this is one of the Seven Wonders of the World (in the non-man made category). The Indians there think it is sacred and bad luck or something if you walk under it or even by it. So they had a tour guide standing there so you couldn't get too close to it. It is HUGE though. Angie (our friend we went with) said when the water was higher they actually could swim right up to it and under it. It's even rumored that someone in her family climbed to the top of it. Now, I cannot either confirm or deny that, since I wasn't there! Ü

Yea, I was trying to do one of those pictures where it looks like she is holding the arch up. I'm not very talented or very good at giving instructions and the subject isn't very good at taking direction (at least from her mom). Plus there was a crowd of people coming up behind us so I gave up. Brett was just shaking his head at me. In fact he did that alot this trip? Or is that everyday?? Hum?
