When we started our journey there were a few clouds in the sky; when we reached the dunes, a few more clouds; we started our hike back to the boats at the first drop of rain, and by the time we made it back to the boats it was a full out Lake Powell rain storm: thunder, lightning and all. The kids did well with the loud thunder. Thankful for mom and aunts in the boats praying for our safety.
For our Family and Friends both NEAR and FAR! We love you all and hope you enjoy a view into our lives.

Our Backwards Update!
Because I don't update very often, I always forget the last pictures I upload are going to display first. Maybe if I type it, next time I might remember. So this is our Backwards Update! Just watch the dates on the pictures.
Kellen receives his football trophy. This was his first time playing on a team, he got to play QB a few times, defence and receiver.
This was his last game, he caught an interception. Too bad he played for YMCA and it just doesn't mean the same.
Our Primary Scripture Harvest Carnival-Jakob as Abinadi (or as Jakob calls him, "The man in fire") and Kellen as Captain Moroni (Kellen says "Captain Remoni").
Kellen turns 7! OH MY GOSH! Birthday with his cousins.
In August we went to Camp Wooten with ALL of Scott's family, about 120 (his Mom's siblings and all their kids). It's a great 3 days with family, this is our second time going. Great location with plenty of space for the kids to play. Scott and the boys visit the canoe on the little lake.
The HUGE slip and slide enjoyed by all ages.
A big attraction is the craft area. The kids love the time with parents doing crafts anytime of the day.
Earlier in August, I took the boys to Lake Powell. Yes, I am crazy. I thought I was going to be driving the whole way by myself, however my awesome sister and her 2 girls decided to go. So I only had to drive to Willard, Utah by myself. Then the 6 of us made it the rest of the way. The drive is worth it, I did question it many times. But the time with our Colorado family is priceless. We don't get to see them very often, so when we do, we make it count! The boys had a great time, they loved it all. This is cousin Maisy, Jakob and Kellen jumping off the houseboat.
This year we made it to the sand dunes. We had to hike up the canyon, the water level was too low to take the boats. On the way the kids found and killed a lot of little frogs, didn't kill on purpose; little hands on little frogs just is not a good thing for the frogs.
When we started our journey there were a few clouds in the sky; when we reached the dunes, a few more clouds; we started our hike back to the boats at the first drop of rain, and by the time we made it back to the boats it was a full out Lake Powell rain storm: thunder, lightning and all. The kids did well with the loud thunder. Thankful for mom and aunts in the boats praying for our safety.
Kellen goes knee boarding.
On the banana with cousins Scout, Rhett, Parker and Maisy, representin' the girls!!
The boys went with me to the 19 week ultrasound. We did not find out the sex of the baby. If you ask Jakob, the baby is a girl because I am a girl. I am not sure how he thinks he came to be??? A topic to be discussed later.

wow - great update! I'm so jealous of your family time pics - looks like awesome locations! (we missed ours this year)
poor frogs.
did you not find out the gender on purpose? we tried w/ ours, but the stinker didn't cooperate!
How did you get Jakob to wear a skirt for you Primary Activity? Blog looks great.
We NEVER called it a skirt! It was just "the man in fire" costume. I was so worried he would not put it on. He never questioned it. He didn't even wear shorts under it, Kellen did. I think it helped to see the pictures in the Book of Mormon Reader, they all wear skirts. :)
