Bear Lake

So we had another amazing reunion at Bear Lake! I love it there. My Mom has gone there since she was a little girl and now it has a big spot in my heat as well . We did all the usual, boating, mini golf, playground, video scavenger hunt, Jeopardy, dingelballs, corn hole, tennis, wacky 6, story time, diving off the diving board, & croquette .

Kesler Reunion 2009

In Early July we had another fun & kid filled Kesler family reunion . It is so pretty in island park I can see why they all love it there.
Every mourning it is foggy because it is so freaking cold there even the water is warmer than the air. When the boys take their early mourning ski run.
I know Hot right ;) It is so similar to how I really look .LOL
Every one in the family is in charge of an activity. Cameron and Camille did a luau
Bostin is such a joy these days

As you can tell I only had camera battery for one day so the rest is to be continued. But after a week, 18 grand kids 6 & under, and 15 adults we made it and it was fabulous!!

4th of July

The 4th of July was a little more low key this year for us. The day before we went boating with our friends from our neighborhood then meet up at the parade.
Maycee & her friend Morgan
Ripken & our neighbors. He loved the parade. He put as much candy in his mouth as he could fit. He was so cute running in the street in to on coming floats :)
Hurry for the candy!
The kids sitting on top of the car to watch the stadium of fire. We dove to provo because Bretts Brother Cameron was blessing his baby Jillian the next day. (she is so cute) . So we stopped at the side of the road on our way to a hotel and watched the show.. I know high class seats;)

Project Time

So I don't know if every ones husband is like this, but my husband cant just sit around . He is all ways doing projects. So a month or so ago this was the Saturday project!
They dug a huge hole. They being Brett & Brad our brother in law Brad.
Then they put a pond liner & pump down, & filled it with big river rocks. Then moved the rock with the wench on the 4 wheeler.
Then they filled in the big rocks with little rocks, & put rubber mulch on top.
Tadah!! The finished project. Now we have a beautiful waterfall in the front of our house too. My husband is soooo AMAZING!
We had this rock drilled when we put in our yard then decided not to put it in, Brett said he would do it himself, and boy he followed through. Brett is very handy and can figure out anything he "wants" to do. :) If you know what I'm saying.
