Rafting the American River and the 4th of July

The kids loved the fireworks display on the front lawn of Grandma's house.
Sparklers - WHEEE!

I'm not sure why we haven't had a family rafting trip

down the American River before now.

We had tons of fun on the 3rd of July. It was a beautiful ride down the river.

Next year Kim's family needs to be represented!

FUN TIMES!

I will post more pictures when I get them from mom.

Family Adventure June 9, 2008

On Monday, mom, Kim and her kids, and my family went to the lake.

It's always a fun time! Kim took most of the photos but I took a few...

Karlee, Austin and Nicole

This is a terrible picture but look at the "wicked air" Karlee got!

Jackson was so tired he decided to nap.

I laughed like a kid when Kim, Mom and I were on the tube -- my cheeks and abs hurt!

They Say The Funniest Things

Last night Jackson had a very scary dream. So scary that he had to sleep with Mark and me. Tonight he was nervous about going to bed and mentioned his dream again. I told him to ask Heavenly Father to help him sleep well and to have good dreams in his prayer. We went to his room and he started his prayer. He got to the dream part and said, "Heavenly Father, please give me......Tom and Jerry dreams tonight." Who doesn't love Tom and Jerry! Hopefully, it will work!

First Camping Trip of the Year!

We took the kids up to Rollins Lake and camped with our friends this weekend.

It was chilly, but that didn't stop anyone from having fun!

This is my friend Jessica. They own the RV. Have to say camping is a lot easier with an RV.
Mark and Jerry took all nine kids for a ride!

Jessica, Kayci, and Cali...sunbathing beauties!

They boys tried out the tube with bad results.

Nicole and Jackson were getting tricky on their scooters!





Wave runners are always fun! Tom took Jessica and Cali for a ride!



Kolby, Jackson and Austin loved the s'mores.

Jessica, Kayci, Kyle and Kolby loading up for marshmallow roasting.

Happy Easter!

Here's a shout out to the Truckee ER staff!

We ended up in the ER the first day of vacation. Jackson fell back and hit his head on the fireplace hearth. 2 hours and 2 staples later, we were back to vacationing thanks to the wonderful ER staff in good old Truckee!

Way to go, Jax!
