Labor Day at Blue Mesa

We spent Labor Day weekend at Blue Mesa (just outside of Gunnison) with Dusty and Annie. Outside of our boat breaking down on Sat. and it raining all day on Sun., we had a great time. We managed to get some great waterskiing in, and the kids loved camping on the beach, playing in the sand and trowing rocks.

Soccer Camp

I had to post this because it was so funny to me. Kaya did a week long soccer camp, the last day they tried to play a game, kids vs. coaches (remember they are only three and four!) The video cracked me up because it is so typical three year old soccer, kick the ball, oh look here is a goal to play with, run, and another goal. She is the one with the long pony tail (she kicks the ball first then runs to the goal). Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Our Trip!

We had such a great time on our vacation! We put almost 4000 miles on the truck and spend way to much money in gas!! The kids did so great in the car, no melt downs that couldn't be fixed in 5 minutes or so! Our longest leg was 16 hours, and the other ranged from 10-12 hours long. St. George is always a great time. We swam in Grandpas pool, enjoyed his and Janey's company, took Oma and Papa to Zion, and had dinner with the Tuellers. Jodi is a long time friend and she has three precious kids! Then off to Salt Lake, we visited my Grandpa and I met my new cousin, baby Dom. Black Diamond, Wa is beautiful! We stayed in a small cabin on a small lake. We were happy to have out boat in tow and this point (I wasn't to excited about it prior!). The mornings were spent seeing Seattle. We got to visit a good friend of mine, Liz and her husband. We went to Pikes market one day and got some great seafood! 2:00-7:00 were water ski hours, so we were usually out on the lake by then, we had a great time with Dustin and Annie. I tried my hand at wake boarding and actually liked it! The evenings were spend at the family reunion. I met lots of people I had heard about and it was good to put names and faces together. Everybody was super nice and we had a great time, and ate some yummy food! The kids loved when we went to Kim and Dave's, cuz there back yard was the lake. They played in the water the whole time! Bear Lake as most of you know holds a special place in my heart. We spent a week there, and I love it so much. So many memories and we love making new memories. Kevin and Marsha let us all stay at their cabin, I say all cuz there was a lot of us! Tina came with her family, Tracy, Dale and Gabe, Ton, my dad, my aunts and uncles and cousins! The kids had a great time with each other, when they weren't fighting of course! We ate a lot, boated, beached and had such a great time! We also skied on some of the best water we have ever skied on before, it was so much fun! The kids are now on detox from sugar, sun and fun... they are not quite sure what to do with themselves, and neither am I to be honest! Overall, it was a wonderful 3 weeks! Be prepared for lots of pictures!
