Aleah & Brandon
Jade & Brianna
Everyone at the Wave Pool.
Cameron loves the water - and, no, at 7 he really doesn't need a life vest, but I make him wear it in the wave pool because that water can get scary.
Charlie played hard for 7 hours and then fell asleep a 1/2 hour before we were leaving.
Aleah, Sioni, Jade, Cam, & Cayden
Our Family in Red, White, & Blue
Aubrey and me at the Fireworks.
Aaron, the boys, & James watching the fireworks.
Silly Sioni - Happy 4th!
Aleah, Jade, & Cam hiking in the Uinta Mountains.
Mommy & Charlie showing our muscles by a beautiful lake (Clay heading off in the background).
Cam & Aaron fishing on their camping trip over 4th of July weekend.
Jade & Clay under a sign that says "Elevation: 11,000 feet".
Aleah staying covered up so the misquitos don't eat her alive.
My cute kids and even cuter husband...
Charlie's Birthday Party - Trains everywhere - so fun.
The Percy Pinata - yeah, I made it :).
The Thomas cake - made that too - I'm no Sharee Wright (her cakes are awesome), but I could give Betty Crocker a run for her money.
Happy Birthday, my big 3 year old! I love you. 
We had lunch at the park. This is the boys waiting in line...and doing Spider-Man poses.
This is Charlie beyond excited about opening his present from Grandma Gaudin. He was just as excited about the Batman bag and card as he was about the toy.
Grandma sent him a Batman computer - he loves it.
My college roommate get-together....Heather, me, Cliff, Jen, Kathy, & Andrea in front.
Aleah's last day of 3rd grade - Cam's last day 1st grade.
And their last day at Bonneville Elementary. They will be going to Emerson next year. Aleah got into the ELP program and it is way closer to our house.
Our big soon-to-be 2nd grader!
Aleah always gets weepy on the last day of school.
Ice-cream to celebrate the end of school and the start of summer.
Cam has lost both of his top teeth now, so he speaks with a lisp; it is so cute.
Charlie saw that I took a picture of Cam in this pose and insisted on having one too.
Aaron's mom came to visit! We had a great time. This is her, Aaron, and our friend James at a stone garden called Gilgal.
This is Aaron spinning his mom at the park until she got sick - she had just done the same thing to him.
Mom, Charlie, & I went to Temple Square and saw the Joseph Smith Movie and then visited "Big Jesus"; that's what my kids call it.
This is from Mother's Day. I always get a garden. This year Aaron built me another box, so we were able to plant a whole lot more. It's only been a month, but we have had so much rain; my plants are huge.
Cam has been fighting us taking off his training wheels for years - really. Finally, we told him there was no choice, at 7 it was time to be a big boy. This is him right before his 20-something crash. There was a lot of tears, kicking the bike tires, screaming; but then I sent Aaron away and it got much better :). I promised Cam he could have whatever treat he wanted and stay up as late as he wanted that night...and a miracle happened...he rode his bike.
We decided to head to the park to celebrate Cam's success, but since neither Char nor I have a bike, it was the stroller and Rollerblades for us.
Isn't this just the most attractive picture you've ever seen? But I figured no one else was going to take a picture of me, so I'd do it myself.
My 3 crazy kids; I mean my 2 silly children and their too-cool Dad.
Cameron had a school project where they drew a Flat Stanley (a character in a book) and then had to mail him as far away as he could. The person they sent Flat Stanley to was then suppose to take pictures of doing something with him and write a letter about the adventure and send it back to Mrs. Jone's 1st grade class. Well, it's not for sure yet, but I'm pretty sure Cam won. Cam sent his to Italy. This is Hayden taking a picture with Flat Stanley in front of the Leaning Tower of Piza.
Hayden/Traci sent a very cute e-mail about Flat Stanley's adventures in Italy. Cam was so excited to turn it in today.
This is a picture of Aaron's 5th grade class. Can you spot him? He's front row, just right of the center boy. What was that photographer thinking? Who puts the biggest kid in the class in the front row? The poor kid behind him only has 1/2 a head to identify him.
My mom sent me this one just a few weeks ago; she found it in some files she was going through - how cute is my Charlie-man? I just can't believe he is going to be 3 in a month.
This is my Dad and Mom at Christmas. I just love this picture; it makes me giggle every time I see it. The caption she sent with it was something like, "Kids, I've been mugged by Santa!"
Okay, so I keep getting all of these e-mails from by BFF Traci telling me about the problems they are having in Italy....Um, from where I'm sitting it doesn't look that bad. That would be Traci, dead center, standing in front of and actually touching TOBY KEITH! You know whenever I'm having too bad of a day, I try to count my blessing, and right up there on top was meeting Karl Malone - and that makes me happy and I just smile to myself for quite a while. I'm pretty sure it would be the same if I got to be this close to Toby Keith. So, buck up there Cowgirl, when life gives you Toby Keith, your ride the high for at least 2 months :).
This is our 7th year doing Race 4 the Cure in honor of Aaron's Mom Debbie who had - and survived - Breast Cancer 23 years ago. We decided to make our own shirts this year.
Cam insisted on a superhero theme - as alway.
This was just such a cute picture of Aaron, Cam, & Char.
Over 3 miles and Aleah and Cam didn't complain once - that's a first. Charlie did great too - maybe he will actually walk it next year.
