Lake Junkies

We are officially LAKE JUNKIES! We love the warm weather and being on the water.

Peyton and Kolby tubing, they LOVE it

Best Friends!

This is a typical ride home from the lake, even at 5 he still get so wore out!

Peytons 5

Peytons already 5, time really flys! he was barely two when i met him and it feels like yesterday! We had a little PIRATE party for him w/ cupcakes and fireworks. It turned out so good. (other than one firework that made us all feel like we were in desert storm:) )

Amara, Tracen, Peyton, Savannah, Tailee, Ataya, Bradon, Jhett & Kolby

I made a treasure map and all of them followed it to their treasure.. it was so cute when they found it!

Watching the fireworks, this was before we all had to run from one that tipped over, after that they all watched them from the front window.

Love Ya Peyton!

4th of July

We had  a great 4th as always, it definitely is a favortie holiday for all three of us! We went to an awesome party at Aunt JaLees house (forgot my camera), BBQd at Landon and Marias, then Fireworks.

My little guy looked like such a hottie that night

He watched the fireworks from under the truck since it kept raining on him

Goodrich Reunion

We left our camper up on the Mtn. after camping with our friends for the GOODRICH reunion, this last weekend we had our First annual reunion with my family. We decided that since we are all getting older and such, we needed to start having a reunion (weird that we are already to that point). We were up there for about 5 days and had so much fun. We are offically camped out for a while after two weeks of it... but the moments peyton had were priceless. He had so much fun playing with all of his cousins, and all of us had fun sitting around and Talking.

Peyton loves his cousin Chandler, he totally wants to be like him, it is so adorable... and to boot: chandler is a really good kid!

My dad and his clan.. haha i think he has most his grandkids on there, he is missing about 8 i think

I tried all weekend to steal this cutie... my neice Olivia totallly has a place in my heart, i swear god sent her to the wrong home, she was suppost to be mine!

of coarse i couldnt stop it... okay, i allowed it, but he took his bike through that same mud hole that he rode his 4wheeler through, he had so much fun showing off for everyone. Oh and he's not wearing gloves... that is straight mud haha

Camping with friends

A couple of weekends ago we went camping with our friends, it was so much fun! We finally let the boys ride there fourwheelers through the big mud hole close by. They had a blast!

Peyton by the campfire.. being his goofy self, eating smores :) he was so darn tired too

The Mud HOLE

Kolby took a little spill into the mud, he was a good sport though

Peyton and Amara

Watch this video that Landon made, its great!

Lagoon

In May we went to Lagoon. Our friends little girl was in a dance compitition, we decided to all stay at the camp ground together. We had a blast.

Peyton and Bradon, all the kids loved the rides, none of them were scared of any of them

Peyton and Kolby.... they both are growing like weeds, i cant believe it!

Grateful!

The last couple weeks have been kinda rough, and really has shown me the important things in life! I'm so grateful to be where i am in life and so happy i have my husband by my side and a healthy, CUTE and such a good little step son!
