Things we have been up to lately....

Maddi had her first sleep over tonight! She loves playing with her friend Camry. Camry really wanted to come up and play with Maddi and have a sleep over. I am new to the whole sleep over thing so I don't really know what to do but I think they had fun. They made Pizza....

They went swimming. I should say Camry went swimming and Maddi stayed on the floaty and watch her swim!

They wanted to watch Graham and his friends play tennis. They actually played really will together and both were worn out by the time they went to bed!

My brother and I took out my mom for lunch for her 60th birthday!!!

I thought this picture was pretty funny, my mom trying to hold the two little ones!!! Looks pretty hard! But she did it!

I threw my mom a surprise birthday party for her big 60th birthday!

"Mom I'm ready to go home..."

"no, really I am done!!!"

"well okay I guess I can stay for cake"

My little nephew Aron

I have been practicing making new bows for Maddi, here are some that I have done, hopefully I will get better with time! I bought a bow like this and then tried to copy it, I think it turned out really cute pretty close to what I have.

Oh thank Heavens

I cant believe it after three days of missing our dogs are finally home, thanks to lots of prayers and help( thank you lynne for calling all of those animal shelters) I am glad that they are back! It was so sad not having them around!

Our dogs are missing

It is the saddest thing ever. Some how our doors got left open and our dogs had gone out and have not been back since. They have been gone now for two days. They have tags on them with the phone number and address and someone did call us and said they found the tag but no dogs. It makes me sick to think about what might have happened to these beautiful dogs. They are such great dogs. I miss them so much! I hope no one Dog napped them. Hopefully they will come home soon together!!

2008 Annual Haskins Lake Powell Trip

Every year we get so excited to go to lake Powell. I don't know who is more excited the kids or the adults. We always have so much fun playing, laughing and just being with the family. The first night we got there we had to stay at the marina because it was just to windy and raining to try to find a spot any where, but we still had fun staying at the marina.

My brother in law Ryan thought it would be funny to put up a pole to let Maddi and my nephew Sterling dance around it. These two would dance non stop at Lake Powell. It was so cute and so funny!

But don't worry Ryan sure did get in the action every now and then!

Maddi was such a poser this entire trip. Every time a camera would come out she would pose, she would stop doing what she was doing a strike a pose!

Nap time-- this was a sure way to get her to take a nap. Once the boat started to go she would be out cold!

Like Mother like daughter

After a hard day of skiing Maddi would give such great massages

We wanted to make sure that every one had a chance to drive the boat and my brother in law bless his heart got his chance. He had to put on his helmet so he would feel safe just in case anything happened. We all cheered and gave him "high five's" for a job well done! We were so proud of you Ryan--- great job driving the boat!!!

Graham out teaching my little nephew how to ski. I wish I had a picture but my nephew age 5 and 7 totally got up and were skiing it was the cutest thing ever

I know what you are all thinking "wow she has mad skills!!"

Enjoying the water-- Sterling had this blow up jet ski thing and I think the adults had more fun using it then ster did! Poor ster always having to share his toys!

My niece Aislynne showing off her super talented skills!
