LaKe poWeLL

We have had such a fun-filled summer and been so busy! Blogging has been the last thing on my mind. At the end of June we went on a "adults only" trip with Parker's family to Lake Powell. I didn't realize how much I needed it until I was there. It was perfect to spend one on one time with Parker and to rest, relax, and rejuvinate! We had so much fun! We swam, skiied, tubed, body surfed, cliff dived, ski dooed, hiked, wake boared, did a syncranized swimming routine, played games, laughed, stayed up late, visited Rainbow Bridge, explored, laughed, ran a ski doo course (set up by the boys), ate, and laughed some more!
It was an amazing trip and we both loved every minute!

Body surfing. The boys LOVED this. I think they spent more time knocking eachother
around doing this than they did skiing and wakeboarding. It was funny!

We LovE BaSeBaLL

Jackson has been playing coach pitch the last couple months! He's so good! He loved to hit last so he could try and get everyone home!!! One game he caught a ball to get an out and then threw it to first base to get a double play! He had so much fun with his teammates and his coaches were a blast. We are sad it's over but we are excited for swimming!!!

Thumbs up dude!

The dugout, the boys would cheer and chant for whoever was

Last month Chloe learned to ride her bike with no training wheels! She just took off. She asks us to take her to the park every day so she can ride. We bought her a bigger bike that fit her better and she has loved it. Last Sunday we got together with my family to go on a bike ride together (we do this every Sunday that the weather is good) and she wanted to ride her bike instead of riding in the kid carrier. We started off through neighborhoods and up hills, Chloe was a little bit slower so we decided to take a shorter route. We went through Vintage neighborhood and there is a big hill that you ride down, we explained to Chloe that she needed to use her brakes, she told us she could do it and off she went. I was bringing up the rear but I could see what was going to happen, she was going too fast and instead of using her brakes she'd peddle forward. I kept thinking that she was going to get hit by a car down where the road connected with the main road, Parker tried to stop her but he had the carrier on the back of his bike with Ella in it. She headed straight for the curb and turned hard and almost pulled it out but not quite. She had a bloody nose and road rash on her face, tummy, and knee. I was just thankful that there wasn't a car involved. We started riding back with her in the carrier, but she couldn't do it. I sat with her while Parker and Jackson went to get the car. Parker was so worried about her that when he was pulling out he hit his Ducati and knocked it over. Luckily both Chloe and the bike will be OK.

The first day we stayed home relaxing and watching movies, the second

show everyone her owie

Day 1 picture. On day 2 she hopped right back on her bike and rode
