Jackson Hole, Part 2

We stayed at the KOA right on the Snake River. It was beautiful. One morning we spent a some time playing paddle ball...

And spray painting shirts for the little ones...

One of my favorite spots ever.. String Lake. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! I think my little monster might be pouting in this picture because he couldn't go with the older girls on a ride around the lake. Gotta love that pouting face!

 This video is weird.. But it shows Zania (8 years old) and Sadie (6 years old) taking the boat out for an unexpected and unaccompanied spin on the Lake. Kind of funny watching them try to paddle.

Pretty much a river monster. My son is so brave--he totally could have his own show on Discovery Channel.

I mean, it was really such a great afternoon. The water was warm(ish) and the sun was shining. Kids were happy and content to try to kill fish and paddle around the lake. It is not deep as you can tell from the pictures.  There is one rock that the kids got to climb and then jump off, but for the most part very shallow. And really the views are indescribably gorgie!!

I will be back String Lake, you mark my words!

Jackson Hole 2013: Part 1

Once again, I can not be bothered to put these in order.
That is just the way I roll these days.
No order.

Sadie in front of the beautiful ski resort.

 Of course, Sadie found the nearest animal and had to pet it.

 Jenny Lake with all the cuz's

Luke and Sadie with their small mementos from our vacation.

A wolf and a coyote.

2 more of 100 stuffed animals that now litter my house.

Gotta have a picture in front of the antlers. 

Jenny Lake.

So amazingly pretty.

 Love this munchkin

At the end of our Grandma Float.

Lots of laughs.

Lots of memories made.

Todd and I almost died.

Our raft slowly converting to a submarine as we went downriver.

It was awesome.

More Jenny Lake

I only wish we could have stayed at Jenny Lake longer.

You must must go.

It is a gorgeous place.

I almost forgot how to do this...

Yeah. For my 3 followers, I am sure you have been waiting with bated breath for me to blog again. HA! I don't know what has happened to me, but I really am suckin it up with my blog lately.  So, here I go.. I will try to catch myself up.

End of Year Field Trips with Sadie and Luke:

Luke's class when to Red Butte Gardens and Sadie's went to the Zoo.

I really should earn Parent of the Year, or even Decade because

I rode the bus with both of them.  

Wow, just wow! I am so awesome.

Ms. Maddie Maggoo got Malaria. No..  Mumps. No.. Menigitis.

No it was that kissing disease, Mono.

We thought it was menigitis, but no.. just a bout of Mono.

This is Maddie's ba da ca donk.

I don't know how to spell it.

It's her backside getting her spinal tap.

Gotta love you some spinal tap.

I know, I am the meanest person alive.

Not only for taking the picture, but for distributing it over the airwaves.

Get over it.

Todd decided to make a mess..

I mean, tear down our poor excuse for a deck and build me

the mother of all decks.

I think he is sorry he started this project.

Ms. Sadie had her dance recital at Bingham High School.

She did awesome!

Our twin hummingbirds flew the coop.

More of the deck project.

Oh yeah, it was great to lift Sophie down from the house

in between the boards to get her to her kennel.

I may have ruptured my spleen.

Grandpa came to Sadie's Kindergarten class for end of year party.

More of the deck.

Sadie and I had a girls date and went and got our nails done.

Such a cute little set of feet.

Love her!

Finally got a picture of my son at his job.

"Hi sir! What can I get for you today?"

Sadie on her new bike that she LLLOOOOVES!

Now if she can only figure out how to use the brakes.

I have had to sacrifice myself several times to get her stopped...

For Father's Day, I built a firepit for my sweetie. 

We roasted marshmellows and other treats that evening.

So fun.

Watched a Horse Jumping Competition.

Really neat. 

More of the zoo.

I can not be bothered to move this picture, sorry.

I earned my 5 year appreciation certificate from TOSH.

Which is very humorous to me, because I have actually worked for IHC

for 16 years..

I was angry with the oversight, so I taped up my boss and held him hostage.

I made him watch Full House reruns until he gave me a raise and the appropriate

honor that I deserve..

We went to the Alpine Rock Waterslide.

Twice.

Let me say.. 

There will not be a third time.

Fun, but I am over it this summer.

Had several birthday parties. This pic was taken at Grandpa's 90th..Actually, I don't 

know how old he is, but it is at least 90! I am just saying...

Luke got to go to 2 different basketball camps.

This one was with Gordon Hayward.

Luke can't take his eyes off him.

Sadie got 2 teeth extracted.

For her troubles and tribulations, that dang

Tooth Fairy gave her $20.

Inflation is real, I tell you.

This basketball camp was at the University of Utah and featured Luke's 

best friend Jake!

Also, wouldn't be a summer if I didn't drag my sorry bum to Lagoon and 

spend a wad.  

Also, it wouldn't be a trip to Lagoon if I didn't lose something while there.

This time it was my glasses while I was expecting to die while riding the white (brown)

roller coaster. 

Great!! First ride of the day too! 

Obviously we have been super busy.

All of this was done in about 2 weeks time.

I am tired.

Very tired.
