Oh, What do you do in the SUMMERTIME?! (When the city of Hayden is 'HOT'!!!)

YIPPEE! Brian is in the air again!
The lake is like 'glass' at 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning! (We avoid the crowd at this hour.)
Don was on his game also!

Great job, Don!
The orange flag was up quite a bit, especially when Mom made her debut on the wakeboard. So different from Slalom skiing!

The look of terror!I had a couple of crazy crashes (face plant) of which the kids tried to capture in 'living color'. HaHa Let's just say I was hurting for a few days!
It was a good day for Shaun on the Wake Skate. There are no bindings on this board, so he was able to manage it without worrying about his knees twisting!


Go Shaun, Go!

And he's down!

Carmen is a 'natural'! She could do this for hours!
Carmen caught air!

Jump, Carmen, jump!
Pure bliss! Great way to cool off in the heat!

VACATIONING WITH THE GRANDBABIES!! (Forgive me for gloating and boasting-it just can't be helped!)

Nicole, Annie and Carmen rest from a busy day in SLC.
Isn't Annie just delicious in her little sunhat?!

Lots of conversation!

Yummy food at McGrath's Fish House!
Friends (Cousins) forever!
Carmen wins the "Best Babysitter" Award!
Lots of kisses!
Are they photogenic or what?!
Lots of "squishes" or cuddling!

Naptime, except for Brexton!
Buying the best baby toys for the best babies!
Fun in the pools in Logan!
Carmen is flipping again!
And again!
And again! Fun vacation for all!

BREXTON'S BABY BLESSING! (IT'S A SWEET DAY!)

Carmen is an expert Aunt with Brexton!
Sweet reunion of cousins, Tatum and Carmen!

Nicole with Annie, Great Grandma Hill, Megan with Brexton, and Carmen - celebrating a joyful day!The party is here!



Brexton Bartley de la Houssaye was blessed on July 5, 2009 in Logan, Utah. Wonderful luncheon with family and friends after church.



Brexton thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and all of the attention!
Carmen loved seeing her sweet cousins, Tatum and Taylee again!



Maureen and Rich and their sweet family came, as well as Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Hill! The support of family and friends was touching! It was a great day for Brexton, and he will attest to that!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY !! We love this wonderful country - THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!

Annie and Carmen dressed in a very patriotic manner for the parade in Hyrum, Utah!Don is not "heckling" at anyone or anything in the parade - I just caught him right before a sneeze! Hilarious picture! Even Brian, Bart and Shaun enjoyed the parade! We had never seen so much candy thrown, water bottles and ice cream bars handed out at a parade. Definitely a fun parade!
Brexton and Shaun "hung out" together!
Smiles all around as we celebrate our freedom and remember those who fought for our country's Independence! And a big "thank you" to those who are protecting our country's freedom now! We love this land, AMERICA!
