Lake Powell 2009

Nothing better than a few tatoos from Hanksville to get things started in our trailer park!

Swimming with dad...loving the warm water!
Watching off the back of the boat.

Tubing

Driving the boat with Grandpa. (Doesn't she look like she is enjoying herself?)

Hangin' with Dad

We left the regular diaper on while she swam for a while in the lake...I think it got a bit too full...What do you think?

But who needs diapers anyway?! Swimming and almost sleeping.

Good morning Lake Powell. Our 5:30am run. The water was amazing and so was the sunrise! (Sorry the picture is not rotated. It is rotated in my photos and everytime I upload it...it turns. Oh well...you get the idea. Gorgeous.)
Thank you water!

And thanks mom and dad for the fun trip! We loved being with you!

ONE

Nina Had her first Birthday and it was a riot!

Bill at the BBQ
Nina and all of her gifts...I could not believe there were so many gifts for one little girl...than again, she is pretty awesome!

Our present opening helpers!
Nina getting ready to dive in. It was hillarious...she ate all of the little pink dots around the top of her cake and then went at the chocolate.

All done!

Happy first birhtday Nina! We love having you in our family! Thanks for a great first year sweetie girl!

Swimming!

I have lots of fun pictures to post of our great fourth of July weekend...but I just had to get these videos up of Nina swimming. We have been taking Mom and Me lessons with Bill's Mom and Nina is learning a ton and loving it! Enjoy!

Life is good!

What could be better than brushing your teeth before church?

A family camp out in the backyard!

What could be better than a family camp out in the backyard?

Watching dad get ready for the camp out in the kitchen. (Yes I came down the stairs and Bill was trying out or new camping mattresses. He just couldn't wait!)
And what could be better than seeing silly dad on the kitchen floor? Me in my own sleeping bag on the floor!

And what could possibly be better than getting ready to sleep on the floor?
Sleeping in my Mom's grocery cart at walmart of course! Life does not get better than this.
So Nina was literally falling asleep sitting up in the cart. (Some of you are thinking...why didn't you give your child a nap BEFORE going to the store? She was in bed for two hours this morning...talking, chatting...and of course not sleeping. It would get quiet and I would think...oh there she goes...and then I would hear "roooooaaar." That is what a bear says.) So she started to fall asleep sitting up, and so I laid her down...with a diaper for a pillow...and let her sleep while I shopped. I got a lot done, and she got her nap. Do we work well together or what?!
