Fun at the Bear Lake house

Cory, Brent, and Cameron
Brent had fun taking the kids for rides on the 4-wheeler.
Brent, Kayley and Hailee

Kenzie is such a good helper.

She thought it was a lot of fun, and didn't like it when I took her off.

Cameron loved being Doug's helper, while he fixed the fence.

Bear Lake Pictures

I can't believe it has already been over a month since we were in Bear Lake. I'm just barely getting around to posting the pictures. We had a lot of fun with family and playing in the water.

Kenzie LOVED the water.
None of the other kids have taken off towards the water as fast as she did. The others at her age would hesitate because it was chilly but she didn't.
And they are off to play.

She had fun in the sand and water.
She ate a cookie and everyone thought she had eaten sand. (Which she had earlier, but I didn't get a picture of it. She didn't like the sand in her mouth, but loved the cookie and it shows.)
Beautiful Mermaid Kalli and McKay

Adorable Aubrey

Cory on Doug's jet ski. He thought it was so cool to sit on it and pretend to drive it. Kenzie sat on it and the first think she did was try to push the start button.

A lot of the family.

Jarom, Marissa, Sadie, Hailee, and Kayley

Steven, Rachel, and Cory

Trina and Maxwell
We got to celebrate Maxwell's 1st Birthday with him later that night.

Random scenic pictures

We had a lot of fun taking pictures as we were driving to and from Utah. Here are a few, we had more but I only wanted to do a few. (Not in any order.) Especially since I still have lots of fun cousins and family pictures to post.

Beautiful Bear Lake


It is so green and pretty. I'm not used to seeing that much green, and I am grateful for all of the rain they have had in Utah so I could enjoy the beautiful colors.





This is the new Hoover Dam Bridge. It is so huge and massive. I'm just glad that I'm not the one building it. I can't even imagine having to try to build this.

These two are of a dust storm that we saw as we were leaving Arizona. I loved the one above because I got Kenzie's reflection through the window.

Go D-Backs!!

Go D-Backs! Our family's first visit to a Major League Baseball game or any baseball game for that matter. It was Awesome!! They played the Pittsburgh Pirates. We have not been baseball fans but it is much better to be there in person. All the kids had a great time and we got tickets for only $5.00 each and a free visor for going. They all wore them including Kenzie. We love good deals!


The outside of Chase field, home of our Arizona Diamondbacks

Now those are baseball bats.


The scoreboard inside Chase Field. A baseball game with A/C that is the way to go. The roof opens up in 5 minutes but they have it closed during the summer games as it was 110 degrees outside.


We had a great view of the whole field. We were up on the upper level but you can still see great from anywhere in the stadium. The kids had a lot of fun watching the game and cheering them on especially when they hit a home run.


They all had on their new visors as we entered the stadium.



Do I need to say anything about this picture?


She loves balls! This was a princess ball that we got at the Disney outlet store for .99 before the game.
She loved it when everyone got excited for a play, she would clap and laugh.



What a good looking bunch.


Just Chillin!


They have their rally caps on! It worked, as the Diamondbacks won 7-0!!

July 2nd- playing with some of the Palmer cousins

Getting ready for lots of water fun.
Cami, Abbie, Pam, Grandma, Sera, Cameron, and Emma
Nathan had the day off so he helped get both the slip 'n slides up and going.
Justin, Devin, Shannon, Kayley, Cory, and Abbie
Kayley racing her cousin Emma.

Cute Abbie Mae playing with the bubbles. Kenzie Mae was so excited to see her. I am still amazed she would keep the hat on. Kenzie won't even consider wearing a hat.
Beautiful Kady.
Sera and Cory playing in the water.
Justin, Devin, and Shannon deciding who was next.
Apparently Grandma didn't want her picture taken.
After Kenzie's nap I was giving her a snack. Her cousin Lucy came and joined us.

June 30th- Our night stay in Vegas

I can only imagine what Kenzie was thinking, "I'm free, free at last!" Too bad that freedom was short lived.

This is a picture from our rooms window. The kids thought is was so cool that not only did we have a hotel room (when we moved we had to go to a couple different hotels, because we hadn't made reservations) but we were staying in one that looked like a castle.

Too bad you can't see Brent and the kids, but it was a good shot of the Excalibur Hotel.

Kid Heaven. They loved meeting the Yellow M&M, and then going into the store.

Cute Kayley.

Terrified Cameron. He was as stiff as a board.

Cool dude Cory.
