After Conference Fun Part 1

Again I am just now blogging something that happened almost two weeks ago. I'm hoping by the end of the week I will be blogging Easter Fun and will only be one week behind. Hmmmm.... We'll see.
And sorry that this is probably setting a record for the single longest blog ever. But hey... when I'm only blogging once every two weeks now, I'm allowed a ten page blog! And P.S. There are two entries to this one blog. Part one and part two. Have fun!


So this is the one shot I got of all the kids sitting still for five seconds watching General conference. Such perfect little angels huh? They were actually pretty good but that is because we bribed them and told them we would take a family trip to the park afterwards if they were good. A little evil but I swear by bribery. IT WORKS!!


So we went over to a nearby park by the lake and I had a great time. They have a playground just up off of the lake (which is captured in the next post. These are when we went down to the water. Chuchi came along as usual and we took Rori with us. I was curious to see if she could still swim with only three legs. It was very windy and rather chilly. Unlike my children, she followed her better instincts and stayed out of the freezing cold water after just one quick step in. My little ones on the other hand were going further and further in while trying to convince me that the fact that they were shivering and turning blue did not mean that they were cold. Silly babies.

Here are some cute pictures of the trip. I split them up by children. There are a lot but we had such a good time and they were so cute I wanted to capture the memory, and I thought I should share.
So when are any of you far away people going to come to the lake park with us? I know most of you have great big oceans nearby but I guarantee you the people there aren't as cool as us!


Thinking about it.

I did it!

I'M NOT COLD!!

One day soon that will sure be fun.


Ahhhh. Warmth. (lucky you B.)


"I'm king of the world!"


"Look Mom. I can see the dam!"


Another child of mine swearing he's not cold. I guess they think I'm new at this Mom job and still pretty clueless! Silly boy.


Roaming with Rori.


Pretty girl. Haven has always been a water baby.


If Brayden is king of the world then that makes me the queen right?


Getting into water is hard to resist for Haven. She was thinking about it too but decided her feet getting wet was enough.



Trevan loves throwing rocks more than any of them. Not skipping rocks but seeing how far he can throw them. Once baseball season starts that's all he thinks about. He's so cute.


Rylan is such a big guy recently. He'll hit double digits this year.


He found some really big clam shells that were still in one whole piece. He thought they were pretty cool.



He had a lot of fun searching for all kinds of cool stuff with Daddy.


Speaking of Daddy... He's pretty cute too.


The boys had a lot of fun going up and down the beach with dad. I had fun watching my guys.


Bryan has become a reading freak. Anything "Twilight" and he's all over it! Crazy huh?


Bryan adores Payten. There's just something about that baby sister of his. Maybe it's all in the cheeks. He has never been able to resist a cute chubby pair of cheeks. Not many get by without a getting a big Bryan kiss smacked on them.




Just some snap shots. I'm thinking about taking him back down to the lake for some senior shots. I think they would look cool.




Of course we had to post some pics of our dogs that went with us. They had fun finding some clam shells too.

It was a really fun day for all of us. Now on to part two! (Intermissions are allowed.)
