Bear Lake and A Birthday

I promised Tyler in February that we would go to Bear Lake for his birthday and that we would go swimming. So I kept that promise, but I wasn't sure at first if it was going to work or not.

This is what we encountered on our drive through the canyon. At least it was pretty. Joshua took this picture . I thought it turned out pretty good.

As always seems to happen in our family there were casualties immediately. Oh well. They had their consequence early on and then did not want it again so they ended up being very good for the rest of the trip.

Gracie isn't in trouble she just wanted to be a part of the action. She does it all the time. If someone else is crying she comes up and puts on her fake cry just so she can join in.

It ended up warming up though and we did get to fulfill Tyler's birthday wish. I ended up with so many pictures it was hard to choose between them. It is hard to believe we are celebrating another birthday. Time is going by so quickly. I am trying to enjoy every second!!!!

Aren't We Cute!!!!!

We had some fun out in our yard taking pictures for both grandma's Mother's Day gifts.

It was so cute and they were very cooperative. Surprisingly enough.

All I had to do was remind them it was for grandma and they would smile.

I'm Seeing Spots!!!!

We have had a very eventful 6 weeks. Joshua came down the chicken pox and passed it on to Micheal, then Gracie, then Tyler, then Sahara. Luckily the Twins had it in Kazakhstan while I was there adopting them. No one seemed to get it at exacltly the same time, so it has been a long drawn out process. Every case seemed to get worse too. Thankfully there aren't anymore coming down with it. Any way here are some pictures of our poor unfortunate children.

Aren't they pitiful? And believe me I don't look any better having gone

through this with all of them.
