Kaden joins the big boys in middle school this year. And gets a change in color of shirts sooo exciting
And my baby is a third grader. I can't believe this is how old Kaden was when we moved here. She seems so little and he seemed so big. Kali has Mrs. Hunnings and is as excited as she can be.
Kali and Taylor held hands the whole time, it was so cute.
I don't know if any one knows to much about Busch Gardens but it has themes of different European countries, kind of like Epcot. This telephone booth was in England.
The kids soooo scared to go on the haunted castle.
Waiting in yet another line.
Kris, and Derrick
Watching a 4D movie
We would all pile up in the Suburban, love big cars.
Germany
Ireland
This was one of every one's favorite, Apollo's Chariot, we even got Kaden to ride it. This was our 4th time in a row and Kaden's stomach couldn't handle any more.
Then we drove to this light house and watched planes land.
This is Kalipeki Beach where we spent most of our time
Kail loved the Tiki's
Isn't she so beautiful
Pizza at the beach, yummy
Cook out on the beach yummy yummy
Lidgate Park, what a great place to snorkel. Kevin brought fish food so he could have the fish surround him, very scary, I kept my distance
Just a pretty river we had to pass on our way back to our car.
We spent a couple of nights at the Marriott, thanks to Kathi's (Kevin's mom) sweet discount. It was right on the beach and so beautiful.
Aloha
Nothing like a campfire and smores
Bear Lake was just a pit stop for me and Kevin. We were heading up to Boise for an unofficial interview. Thanks Mom, Amy, and Chelsea for taking such good care of my kiddo's while we were gone.
Also known as the Niagara of the West.
This is a picture we bought, I am a sucker for pictures. None of them turned out good of me I was always pulling a funny face, so we got one of Kevin looking so tough there on the front of the boat.
We had a get together with the Nathan Clark family,and my Grandma and Grandpa, to celebrate Kevin's graduation. It was so good to see everyone
This is what I miss the most living so far away. Just getting together and letting the kids play while we eat and chat.
4th of July fire works at Eaglewood. Our last day with Kevin, so he can go home and make some money while we play. What a great guy.
Getting ready for the fireworks to begin
dressing up at Grandma's. This is Kaden
Kali
Tanner
I wanted Kali and Kaden to stand on NC, and Ethan to stand on Utah and look sad, but Kali hates NC so bad she wouldn't do it.
Well you are about half way there, if you are still reading I am so proud of you.
The Roarks's minus Kevin.
It was so beautiful
The cute Frazier boys fishing, Mylie would want to hold the fish and pet them, GROSS
She would also love to hold these dime size frogs that we found on our hike, this one in the picture is a little bigger than the other 5 that are now looking down on us from heaven.
Kaden just loves Mylie, and sometimes she would love him back
The kids getting beat on the tube, thanks Grandpa
Tanner showing off, he was really good this year. Kaden also wake boarded but I sadly did not get a picture of him. He did it behind Uncle Tim's boat.
Kali even got up. She would even cross the wake (not on porpose) Thanks Jake for helping
The Astle boys, Look I got Tay to smile, well kind of
getting about as clean as you can get at Powell
Boys love the sand
Weston held a yoga class, it was a great workout, and we just jumped into the lake afterwards to cool off.
Kali and Vanessa best buddies.
OHHH they are so cute when they're asleep.
Our view from our boat. The lake was up so high this year.
The gang Vanessa, Kaden, Jade, Kali, Tayler, Tanner, Austin
Packed up and ready to go home.
Enjoying our last few nights in Utah with the fam. Ice blocking so fun, I have never done it before the kids had a blast.
It was getting dark so I couldn't get very good pictures, but it sure does make it look like he is going fast.
The last hurra, at North Canyon Park. It is so sad to keep saying good bye to everyone. It always ends in tears. We sure had a great time in Utah this year, thanks to everyone for letting us jump right back into your lives again and again. Thank you mom and dad for being such great hosts again, it is hard to take care of ourselves after being so spoiled all summer.
A pink moon, it was so pretty. I wish I could of got a better shot.
And a spider that has made his home right by our front steps. He is about 3 inches long. He is very fun to watch. The kids through a stick at his web (and got yelled at by me) and the spider would crawl over to it and pluck it off and throw it on the ground. We have seen him wrap up a few bugs also.
