Bear Lakin'

We just got back from spending 10 days at Bear Lake, enjoying the sun, family, boating, water skiing and trying our hat at wake boarding. It made us feel young to think we are trying this new sport at the ripe ages of 33 and 36, three kids under 4 and a three month old, whatever to make us feel good right!? My cousin Brett got married while we were there, the wedding was beautiful and super fun. We met my dad's new girlfriend Kathy, she is great! Here are few pics of the trip (we decided that going out of town with children is a "trip", and someday we will get a "vacation" which would be with no kids).It is a lot of work, and driving 11 hours isn't so much as fun anymore, but the memories we made were priceless and all in all I would do it again in a heart beat, in fact I am sure we will next year :)

Kaya and Daddy tubing, she kept giving a thumbs up to go faster


Dev tubing with all the kids


I lost my sunglasses in the lake :(, but Kaya had an extra pair :)

Isn't the water beautiful, so is my girl!


My new favorite picture, nothing like daddy's with their girls!


Kasen asleep, he just slept wherever


Kasen trying out his new waterskiies that Papa made him. He wouldn't go behind the boat, maybe later this summer


Floatin' Boatin' (We tie up our boats and swim around in the middle of the lake, the kids loved it this year!)


Tracy, Dale and Gabe Floatin'Boatin'

Kinley sitting in her bumbo


He is truly asleep, he slept like this a lot. For some reason it was his favorite spot, he woke up everytime we tried to move him.


Kinley in her spot, she spent a lot of time there.


Boating, don't you love Dev's sunburn!

1st day on the lake

We finally got our boat on the water, with all the rain, storms, wind it has been hard to find a day. We decided to get out of town after Dev got off work, it is an hour drive to the nearest lake. The boat trailor got a flat tire on the way down so that took time to fix, by the time we got the boat on the water a storm came in, but we were deterimined! We thought aobut skiing and realized we left the flag and the tow rope at home. The kids loved loved loved playing on the swim platform and splashing in the water. Kinley did really well for her first time boating and didn't seem to mind her life jacket. Ton Ton was there to help out which was really nice! We floated for a bit, ate dinner and then the rain started so we put the boat back on the trailer. We were out for a whole hour at the most. While I was putting life jackets away I found the flag and the tow rope under the seat that Kinley was laying on, oh well! Hopefully next time will be a nice sunny day and we will get to ski :).

Random Fun, and Kinley is 10 weeks!

I can't believe that Kinley is already ten weeks old, where has the time gone? She is such a joy and has been a really easy baby. She is now 11lbs 8oz, and 24 inches long. She sleeps through the night for the most part (we still have a 4:30 awakening every once in a while). She laughs, and says "AAAGOOO". Her brother and sister love her so much. Kaya says she is a big baby now, it is hard for her to hold her now that she is heavier and wiggly, but she still wants to all the time. Kasen continues to give lots of hugs and kisses and has to know where "little sissy, or Tin-ee" is at all times. I have adjusted much better to three then I thought, I think going from 1-2 was much harder. Kinley just goes with us wherever we go, thank goodness for the bucket seat! I am sure life will change when we can't just haul her around whenever we want, but for now we are loving this phase of life!!

My Girls

I think I have a do over baby, they almost look like the same kid. The only difference is that Kaya's eyes are super blue and Kinley's are dark, other then that they look a lot a like! Kinley has been a blast and we love her so much. She is 7 weeks old and is starting to smile. I looked at Kaya's 1st year calander the other day and noticed that she rolled over from her tummy to back at two months and I think Kinley has only had tummy time twice. I want her to stay a baby!!!!!

Kaya 2 Months

Kinley 6 Weeks

Kaya 4 Weeks

Kinley 5 Weeks

And then there was Kasen :) Two Months. He and Kinley have the same eyes

My Amazing Family!

I have to write and brag about how wonderful my Family is! My dad, sister Tracy and her son Gabe. Aunt Marsha, cousin Tina and two of her kids Kamree and Averee. Aunt Mindy and my cousin Kira all came out to see the baby (My sis Ton lives here, but did a ton too). For a week I literally did nothing for myself. They cooked dinner, cleaned my house, did my laundry, dressed and bathed my kids, stayed up at night with Kinley while I slept, gave me back rubs and pedicures amongst many other things. They are all truly amazing and blessed Devin and I so much! I am way to undeserving, but so lucky to have them all in my life! Thank you all SOOOOO much!

I also need to give a HUGE Thank you to my Mother-in-law who has done more then I can even comprehend for us! She watched Kaya and Kasen for three days, it was great to know they were in good hands and enjoying themselves while we were in the hospital. It also allowed Dev to be there with me the whole time. She has made us countless dinners, continues to take both or one of the kids to give me a break. Kaya and Kasen absolutley love her! Agains we are so blessed!

Thank you also for all my friends here in The Springs who brought over dinner the week before everybody got here, it was much enjoyed and appreciated!

Here as some new pictures of Kinley and Family. I can't believe she is one month already!
