LP Summer Vacay

Nothing better than spending a week at Powell with great friends and family...

The WHOLE crew!

Cramped Quarters

A bit of nostalgia: Loved tubing, wakeboarding and catching up with my BFF since childhood, Krista. (thumbs up to the new idea of jumping between tubes..ADRENALINE RUSH!

Coincidence? Had to flaunt the fact that we all packed a brown swimsuit!

Good Old Rainbow Bridge

Looks like the oldest and the youngest needed a rest along the way...

Yes, my little bro jumped into the disgusting swarm of carp at "Dangling Rope" ($5 was all it took)

Group Cliff Jump

Captain Grace

Beautiful hike above where we were docked

Parker learned to SKI! Okay, he squatted so low that it looked like he was sitting but he held on and kept going. Hate to write Sammy the harsh news, his 4 yr. old record is broken!

Guess the Target Boardshorts are a hit, I bought them and next thing you know my sisters both have a pair. 15 years ago he fought tooth and nail to not match and now we giggle and take pics!

Show off!

Great slot canyon we explored (found a scorpion and small snake along the way)

4th of July Weekend

What a great 4th of July Weekend! We had a pool party with Kirk's Family on Friday and on Saturday we hit Canyon Lake with mine. The little water dogs' couldn't of been happier!Keep'n it classy

Kirk's sisters made this incredible cake and Parker was obsessed. Seriously, I think all he will be getting for his birthday is one big decorated cake.

AArAttempting to be festive in our neon accessories

Yes, Parker really jumped off this cliff...the kid is a maniac!

Crashing on the boat with Jack after a long, hard day of play!

Sliding into 6....

For our 5th Anniversary Kirk surprised me with a quick getaway to the Arizona Grand. Of course, the kids are never far behind and joined us the next day for some fun in the sun. It was a perfect weekend!

BEWARE!!!

Show up unannounced and this is what you might find in our backyard. Gracie is our resident nudist who thinks everything and anything is more fun with her clothes off!

YW Lake House Retreat

We took the YW on an overnighter to a nearby Lake House. I don't know who had more fun the Girls or the Leaders? Not a minute of sunlight was wasted...these girls have some serious energy. Thanks Seares for letting us us your place! (Kirk was happy to "help" out on the boat so that he and the kids could come along). While we were still showered, clean and not sunburned...

Modest is Hottest!

Leaders Gone Wild

Young Woman "WANNABE"

Mountain Men

"Hanging" with the boys

Kirk and Parker on their first Father & Sons Campout.
Highlights:

• Kirk's homemade donuts were a hit! (too bad he never cooks for us at home)


• Parker's obsession with roasting marshmallows and then refusing to eat the finished product.


• Endless hours of "Monster Tag"...guess who was the monster? (takes after his uncle Jack)


• No veggies, fruit or whole grains eaten! The boys' dream come true.
