Our Summer Vacation

Summer Vacation Begins!!!

While we were packing Cruz was entertaining himself in the boxes to our new sleeping bags. Isn't he so cute?

My sweet husband Taylor thinks he has to shower every day. haha. But I love him anyway.
Our lucky little one had the chance to ride into Dairy Lake and Everson. Eveytime he got on the motorcycle with his daddy he would fall asleep. Watchout motorcycle maniac in the making.
The bravest of us all! Paris was the first one in the lake, and even talked her daddy and Paje and Preston to jump in with her. She is so darling!
Granpa's little boy. Do you think he got spoiled?
Father and Son...Best friends already.

Cruz's lifejacket was bigger than he was.
"Get me out of this thing!"
Once the engine roared Cruz would instantly relax and loved every moment of his boat rides. Plus he had some good entertainment watching his daddy, mommy, aunt jennie, and grandma chelle tubing.

On our way home we stopped at a park to let Cruz play around and get some of his wiggles out. He loves to swing.
Cruz loved the swing so much! He didn't want to get off of it when it was time to go.
My amazing husband, twiddling his thumbs, ready to get back on the road. But he sure is cute!
What a hunk.
My boys!

All in all our vacation couldn't have been better, longer, but not better.

We had a blast camping the first half of the week with my family. We had so much fun hanging out with the family and playing games. It was fun to see all of the kids playing together. We missed Judd and his family, and hope they can come next year.

The second half of the week we went to the Lake with Taylor's family. Of course we had fun there too. Jennie and Taylor were tubing maniacs, while Chelle and I relaxed in the sun a lot. It was nice and relaxing and of course there were also some mean games involved. Cruz got spoiled rotten, but loved every minute of it. Taylor and his dad got to go play golf together one morning, just the two of them. Taylor loves his dad so much and definately admires him. They had a blast, but we won't talk about scores.

When the week came to an end we headed for the long 8 hour drive home. On the way poor Jennie got carsick. Then, we were following a semi truck that was hauling a bunch of big rolls of paper. Well, he was going to fast around a tight corner and rolled over right in front of us. It was very scary! Taylor helped care for him and make sure he was okay. Thankfully no one was hurt too badly. However, it was a good reminder to follow the speed limit and to remember we have a loving Heavenly Father who is always watching out for us. We are so blessed to have that knowledge!

Love you always!
