Conference @ the Cabin

Nothing more relaxing than the traditional HUGE breakfast and Conference on Sunday morning....except all of that at the cabin! It was awesome!  All of us together cooking breakfast, the chill outside, warmth in.

 Saturday morning started with a ride on the rzrs up Sawtelle Mountain.  We had to get bundled up because the peak is super high, and freezing cold!

Dav's favorite thing to do at the cabin.  YIDE YIDE YIDE!!!

What's that show we watch all of the time?  When Nature Attacks?  He is crazy!  He was seriously close.  Yes this is a baby moose, but still bigger than him!  I am sure mama was near. 

Here we are at the top of Sawtelle.  It is gorgeous up here.  If you know what you are looking for, you could see anything forever!  We didn't get many pictures of Skye because she stuck to Sadi like glue.  We were so scared having our little crazies up there.

Last minute fishing trip.  The boys ran out to the river right before we headed home to catch a few big dawgs.  Nice work!

My cute babes on the LONG drive home!

Why is she NOT sleeping?  It's actually pretty fun if she is going to be this cute! How can you not smile looking at that face?

Yes, we have gone stir crazy on the trip home.

Lake Powell 2011

We finally got to Lake Powell this year.  Why did we wait so long, it was such a blast.  We were only there two nights, but so worth it!  We went with our awesome friends, Steve and Oaklee Pulver.  They were so much fun.  The first night we got there, we set up camp in the dark.  The next day we rode and rode till our hearts content.  The boys tried to chum the fish everywhere we went with no luck.  

We headed into the marina to get gas, and ran out 500 yards from the pump.  Awesome, the boys had plenty of ideas of how we could get there.  Steve suggested paddling.  No paddles.  Robbie said the boys could hop in the water and swim the boat over.  Seriously?  Robbie gave the key one last turn, and we chugged over to the pump.  That was close.

Near the end of the day, we were headed back to camp, and Skye was riding the tube with Steve.  We were putting back into our sweet spot, and they were goofing around.  Steve had Skye on his shoulders, and they weren't holding on.  They were both thinking they were pretty cool.  Robbie said, "Watch this."  Classic last words!  Robbie gassed the boat, and Skye did a perfect back flip off of Steve's shoulders and landed right into the water!  It couldn't have been more awesome!  We laughed so hard.  That night it was really hot.  Robbie woke up in the night sweating, and Davyn was rolling around the tent like a bowling ball saying, "Hot, hot, hot."  Robbie went out and got one of the spray bottles and just started spraying everyone down.  I was passed out till I got soaked!  Fun times.  The next day we headed home.  Robbie and I rode the AirChair one last time into the dock.

The first night we got there, I wanted to get a picture of the sunset. Robbie has a rule that we don't take nature pictures without someone in them. So, Skye was loving this photo shoot. It's so true, why would I have a bunch of pictures of just the mountains, when I could have this cute girl and the gorgeous sunset!

Check out that calf muscle.

Davyn just HAD to get in on the action.  I love that she does whatever Skye does in this case!

So, the first morning we woke up, Steve and Oaklee found this beauty in their tent's porch.  So, not quite inside with them, but too close for comfort!  I was freaking out cuz Robbie left our tent open all night.  What if it came to our tent instead.  I guess that's why we put the girls right in front of the door.  :)

Big Helper

Classic.  Big Air.

Skye practiced on the surf board

Steve and Oaklee volunteered to ride the tube with Skye because they are nice.  She is crazy.  The whole time she rides, she gives Robbie the thumbs up to go faster with the biggest grin on her face.

I love to ride the tube with Dav because it is a leisurely ride behind the boat.  I ride no handed, which Skye thinks is pretty cool, and she gets to stand up.  Too bad Dav is still scared stiff!

UPDATE

Skye had a Soccer game last Thursday, and scored a HAT TRICK!  That's 3 goals!  She was pumped out of her mind!  She has milked the "3 prizes" to the max!  We were super proud parents.  Love you Skye!

Favorite Pic

I love this picture. What an awesome fluke! A couple of months ago, when Raider had just started smiling, and I was at Boulevard Home Furnishings picking out our flooring. Davyn was whining a ton, so, since she loves having her picture taken, I tried to distract her by taking a picture of her. This is what I got. I didn't even notice Raider till I got home and was showing Robbie the samples of flooring.

Soccer 2011.....the blue team

Check out our Soccer Star!

I think she is finally getting the concept!

 No Way!  Who would have thought that with such midgets as parents, Skye would be the tallest!

 Cheeser

 Yes, that is our WHOLE team fighting for the ball.  Hello 4 year olds playing soccer!

2 Chocolate Cookies+2 Teapots of Milk = An Hour of Freedom

Today was a fun day. My girls played well together the whole time! Davyn didn't beat up Raider, and I was productive. I love these days. They are few and far between, but they make all of the days of fighting, whining, and crying worth it. I love my kids. These two were so content with 2 cookies, and milk in their teapots. It seriously lasted a whole hour. They did come in to fill up their teapots with water twice, but I would take that any day. In fact, we may do it again tomorrow!

This picture cracks me up.  I can't look at it without picturing the part of Cinderella when Gus Gus is in the teacup and the stepmother is about to pour her tea in and the one dribble keeps coming down, and his belly sinks in.   RANDOM.

 

Worth it!
