Lake Powell 2012

We returned this week from our summer vacation to Lake Powell. We went with Matt & Krysta's family and had a blast! My pictures aren't in any order because I stole some from Krysta. I was sick one entire day there and couldn't even think about snapping pictures!



























































 The kids loved being with cousins and the trip came to an end way too fast. Some of our favorite things about this trip were: exploring canyons & taking swimming breaks, surfing, tube rides, cliff jumping, eating out, jet-skiing, and just being together. I personally think Lake Powell might be the best place to go for a family vacation!

Catch-up!

I am WAY behind on blogging so this is a post of mainly pictures from the last few months...

Noah's end-of-year music concert at school

Saturday fun at Tempe Town Lake




Lucy being cute

 Noah's baseball team - 14 cute boys all in our ward (Nathan was missing in these pictures)


My sweet boy... 1) I love sleeping pictures; 2) I love what he made me for Mother's Day


Family pictures




Tayler at her Student Council banquet


Fathers & Sons weekend meant GNO! (Pedicures and dinner at Costa Vida)





Russ went with Kaitlyn to 6th grade science camp and they had a fun time -





Noah finished 1st grade with Mrs. Blackwell. She was the sweetest teacher!

We took a trip to Grandpa Price's cabin with Auburn, Alisse, and cousins. We had fun at the go-cart track & playing miniature golf. The kids also enjoyed the tire swing at the cabin!






We sold our baby... the first big purchase Russ and I made together.

Saguaro Lake





Tayler's birthday - she's 15 now!


Noah recently finished up a summer basketball camp that he attended with these cute boys...

We celebrated Father's Day a little early since we were going to be at Lake Powell on Father's Day. The girls put together the candy-gram with some help from Pinterest, and a few of the kids spent their own money to give him a special treat. What a great dad he is - as the card we gave him said - he is the "king of all of our hearts".


Last but not least, an old friend of Russ's tagged him in this picture on facebook. It's a really old picture, obviously - but he is so cute (the little boy on the right). I think he looks a lot like Kaitlyn here!
