Biker Babes

Hannah, Dave and their cousins love riding motocycles. We have these two little Honda 50's. These bikes are the perfect size. As you can see they love to ride together. These are the same motorcycles that I learned to ride on. I love seeing my kids have the same FABULOUS childhood that I had.















Man vs. Wild

Well my little snake wrangler was at it again this weekend at Bearlake. Davey caught this snake. We told him that he could survive on snake meat if he ever got lost in the wilderness. Dave wanted to know what snake meat tastes like. I told him I thought it would taste like hotdogs. That sounded great to him.
Hailey was scared of the snake at first but then she smiled big for the camera of course. We tried to let Ethan hold the snake but he didn't even know it was alive. He just wanted to play in the water.

More and More Bearlake Fun


We celebrated Pioneer day by letting the kids do a mini-trek around the Bearlake property. Hailey was pretending to be a sick girl who's brother had to carry her across the plains.






















All the kids love tubing! We can pull 4-5 at a time behind the Jet Skis.

Fun at Bearlake


The girls wanted some pictures of themselves on the blog, Here they are having great fun at bearlake!









We decided to try and teach Dave to ski. He did really well. He skiied about 100ft in a crouched position. I'm sure with a few more tries he'll have it down.

Boy Blue #1 and Boy Blue #2







Dave has been watching over my shoulder as I blog and he is pretty annoyed that there are no pictures of him on the blog.

Photos From Our Mediterranean Cruise
























































We had pizza and milk shakes at a little cafe on the Amalfi coast.







This is a clock tower in Dubrovnik Croatia. This whole city was soooooo beautiful it looked just like you stepped into a fairytale.









I love this picture. Every where we went had little streets and alley ways like this.




















This is me cliff jumping in the Adriatic Sea. I was the only girl who dared to jump. Strangers were yelling and cheering from the rocks below!

I am climbing up the rocks to jump off.

I'm trying to figure out this blogging thing!

Here are some pictures of us in Italy. We went on a Mediterranean cruise in July.









Hey I just got internet today


My sisters all blog and I've been so jealous! Everytime we get together it's like, "Oh did you see this on my blog." And I'm like, "What is this thing you call internet?''


Travis and I have been living in a technilogical dark age for the past 11 years. I haven't used the internet since college. So Cynthia and Burke came over and installed my internet service and gave me a crash course in using it.


I told Travis I have to get the internet so I can blog about our fabulous life. So here's a family picture to get it started.
