Kemery's Ballet Recital 2008

Way to go "Bessie Boo Boo", you did such a good Job!!!!

Little Slugger!!!!

Jayden just finished his Baseball season, and played very well, he had some good friends on his team which made it so fun! These boys crack me up, they thought they were so cool with their BBQ flavored sunflower seeds that they HAD to have for every game. They would keep them in their back pocket while they were in the outfield and would be so occupied eating their seeds that they would miss half of their catches, so we put that to an end quick! They played real well and Jayden says it's one of his favorite sports!!!

Diamond Fork Hot Springs!

Last Sunday our Family hiked up to Diamond Fork Hot Springs. It was perfect weather and beautiful views. We hiked for about an hour and stopped frequently for rests and drinks. Kemery said " Okay I think it's time for some lunch and here's where we're gonna stop." so we did and it was a perfect grassy flat spot right by the river to eat our picnic lunch. She sure knows how to pick the good spots! We then continued our hike and reached our destination about 45 min. later. As we stepped foot in the nice hot water, low and behold there were two naked grandpa's already soaking........uuuuhhhhh...... and they weren't shy either! I tried to keep the kids from letting there eyes wander in there direction, but it was difficult because it was such an open area with not a whole lot of areas to hide and change your clothes. Then as we were leaving we walked by the other hot spring and there was a lady topless just hanging out in there. I quickly told Jayden to look at that pretty tree in the other direction, it was too late, he already caught a glimpse.

We thought we were going for a nice beautiful family hike, but ended up seeing a little more than we expected, and answering questions I wasn't totally ready to answer yet!......Pretty Funny!

Oh well, some people just forget there swimsuits, right?

Couples Portrait?

Rick & Krista
(our couples Portrait for the year)
and next few years!!!!


Well here are some recent pictures that just the two of us are actually in together, just because one of us is usually holding the camera so the other is always left out. And to actually get a professional one done of the two of us seems impossible to do for some reason. You would think we would have more taken of us than we do with how much photography access we have surrounding us............but NOOOOO! I usually don't like getting my own picture taken for a portrait ( I'm more of a candid person. I love posing candid! Ha! JK). But now I'm almost thinking I'll be a little more open to getting it done now because I'm only getting older and the wrinkles are coming and Botox is out of the question, Yaaaa.... I'll take em' while I'm young (Oh what am I thinking............Photoshop!...... Hello!!!) But I thought it would be nice to have at least one picture on the blog of the both of us considering I almost always have all kid pictures posted. This was taken on our Mexican Riviera cruise in Feb. of this year 08'. Isn't Rick Good Lookin?

Spring Break in Cali.!

Now this is what I call "Spring"! We headed to Cali over Spring break with our friends and neighbor's the Bitton's, and had so much Fun. We stayed in Newport for 4 days and went to the beach and saw wild dolphins 20 ft. in front of us. Jayden and Jameson screamed "SHARK". It kind of looked like a shark until we saw a whole school of them. We were pretty excited. I thought Rick was going to chase one down and grab a hold of the fin and ride it into shore.

We also went to Disneyland and it was really fun because Kemery is now tall enough to hit most of all the rides, she loves the "Tower of Terror". She is a little dare devil!! Jayden loves "Space Mountain" the best!

We then went to Palm Desert and stayed there for 4 days and Jenn and I played tennis and Rick, Jayden, Jameson and Jeff went golfing and of course we all went swimming everyday. This is the trip that Kemery learned to swim in the deep all by herself, she is so proud!!!

We had alot of fun, and we were happy to not have to wear a coat for eight days! I kinda want to go back for a few more weeks until it stops snowing here!!!! CRAZY!
