Lake Powell

We went to Lake Powell in mid August. We had a perfect week. The weather was amazing. Not to hot, never cold. My kids were very well behaved. We never had a huge, I am so tired I have been on vacation too long MELTDOWN. It was so fun. All the kids could play. We all went cliff jumping and no one had to stay back with the baby. We all played as a family. Everyone got themselves dressed. It was very relaxing. Matt on the other hand, worked his tail off. It was our first time taking the house boat out. The house boat was hand made in 1916. So it has a few quirks. Matt was smoothing out the quirks the WHOLE trip. He was so HANDY. Matt has really evolved into a mr. fix it. And this is me. Doing what I love. Man we went out every morning as the sun was coming up. The water was perfect glass. My mom stayed back with the kids while they woke up. AAAHHH best time ever. I really had a great time. Thanks matt for working so hard so we could play.

Our summer

We are alive and well. We went to mexico the first week of summer and I think I left my camera there. It was on its last leg anyway. So anyone that has any pictures of my summer please email them to me. I have spent the morning ripping off everyones ranch pics.

Smith Family Ranch

We go to the ranch every year over the twenty fourth of July. I love it. I look forward to it all year. My kids love it. We played paintball. Fear factor, night games, kayak down the river, movies, hookie six, delicious food, we biked to wyoming and back. I am already planning for next year. I really love my in laws. We left the kids in the suburban(with a movie) while we played. So at the end we gave them a little open shooting time. Canyon( with a little help from oj) shot through my mask and gave me a bloody nose.

Go Team Orange.

The ranch is fly fishing only. BUT matt took the kids down and used a worm and they caught some pretty big fish.

That is lanee's fish. This is our third year and I have yet to catch a fish. I am good at a lot of things but fishing is not one of them.

Matt and the batman panties...

I thought we would wait until canyon was three to try to potty train him. Matt had a whim and bought canyon some super awesome batman underwear, (which we all have slipped and called panties..)and a frog potty. Canyon was pretty excited sat right down and did it. He peed right away like it was nothing. Matt spent about ten minutes with him and turned him over to me. Matt loves to buy things and get all the excitement and I do all the work. Hence the two puppies that lasted a very short time in our house. Well anyway after a small fight about the potty and a pair of very poopy batman underwear in the trash. Canyon is back in diapers. However, the pictures were priceless... Andy we corrected the panty mishap and hopefully no longterm therapy will be needed.

Uniforms Here We Come....

Soccer season

Staley and Brin are playing soccer this year. My camera has a fuzzy spot. They are in the same league which consists of tons of different uniforms and they happened to get the same one. they must be soul mates.

All this for 14 dollars. I figured at the best deals I have seen all year, I would have spent 33.00. It is done all over utah with tons of drop sites. google sl community food coop. The produce was amazing QUALITY...
