Spa Treatment

In an attempt to create some calmness around the house, I found some eye patches and told the kids that if they put them on it would make their eyes feel better. I told them they needed to leave them on for 10 minutes. They couldn't stop giggling and I think it made them more wound up than they were before. Oh well, they thought it was cool.

Lake Powell

Every spring we head to Lake Powell to go fishing.  Here are a few pics.
This was the scene before we left.  
During the drive.  
  

Typical sight, trying to keep a couple poles in the water while the others are getting more bait.
Cam needed to try a different spot after his pole wasn't as hot as the others.
The four guys taking a breather.
Alyssa enjoyed playing on the rocks more than fishing.
Cam patiently waiting for a bite.
Like father like son!
The only time Alyssa would help reel in a fish is when she sat on my lap.

Cameron's Skiing Adventure

Our Family Update

During the summer we had family pictures together. Here is one of the kids.

Alyssa loves to put on makeup. She finds it everywhere and before we know it she has it smeared all over. Isn't it pretty?Cameron is a deer on skis.

I am pretty sure that these two would live outside if it were possible. They love to be outside and play in the snow, rain, mud, or whatever else the weather brings to us.
