Labor Day Weekend

Buck and Misty came camping with us this year and it was a blast! Well... except the first night. That night is now forever known as 'the bad night'. Kaden decided to keep us all up, all night long. He was seriously screaming every. 30. minutes. And when there are four of you (plus a screaming baby) stuffed into a little 15 foot trailer, well... no one sleeps. Except Buck, he weenied out and finally went and slept in his truck! I guess I can't blame him seeing as the second night we crashed in Matt's parent's camper after they left. It's okay though, I still love Kaden and all his lung power. We really did have a lot of fun just hangin' out and relaxing. We got to hang out with Matt's family too, since they were up camping for the weekend. We stayed up Yellowpine (where Matt's parents have been camp hosts for years now). I love Yellowpine, it's so pretty with the river right there and all the trees. We took a drive up towards Arta, and collected firewood for a campfire that night. Misty and I even got all domestic and made a "banana cream pie" It was so special... ha ha.

In fact, this is it. We had no pie plate or crust. We had to smash up Nilla Wafers for a crust, the filling is banana pudding (Misty forgot to buy instant so we had to cook it first) and in order to melt butter we had to put it in a bowl and put the bowl in hot water. We thought we did awesome!

Kaden Loved not having to be in a car seat and uncle Matt spoiled him and let him drive.This was Misty's prayer rock she found. She was so proud of it.


Matt and I even found "our tree." We carved our names in this tree in 2005 before we were married!


After Misty and Buck left, Matt and I got to spend all day Sunday together. It was really nice just fishing and spending time together. I LOVE this picture of Matt.

Lake Powell!

I decided to get caught up on some blogging I need to do... There is quite a bit. So the first is Lake Powell, we had an awesome time there this summer. It was a lot of fun!

You can't see it very well but I carved my name into some rocks by the lake (shh! don't tell, I'm not sure it's legal). My name now lives on forever at Lake Powell.

These are the sandals Misty and I made with Ash and Kailey. I think they're cute. Plus, I love my zebra toe nails! I love this picture of Colton. He could take one jump and land on top of the cement cones. Pretty talented boy!

This picture of Buck cracks me up. This is his 'Walking On Water' trick. And no, this picture wasn't edited at all. On a side note, he is rocking a way awesome farmers tan!.. er, farmers sunburn I mean.

I think Lake Powell is beautiful. This was on the lake around Padre Bay.
I love Kaden!!! Look how cute he is in his junior ranger hat!

I think Ash is so pretty. This is at the (near) bottom of the dam.

This is my dad wake boarding. You can't really tell it's him, but I think it's a cool picture anyway.

Me and miss Kai Mai in our cute matching hats.
