better late than never...

Ok, so this post is a little late, or should I say a lot late......we went to Lake Powell in September but I just got these pics and vids from my sister-in-law (Thanks Ang!!) and I had to share.

We had a pair of trainer skis and, of course, Ellie had to try....she really has no fear (of the water at least.) She's very proud of this video. She was actually able to stay up on the skis for a long time but this is the best one we got on film (plus the wreck is really cute).

Ashtyn & Jade, aren't they cute!!

I can't tell you how long it's been since I've been on one of these. We have so many stories of going to Lake Powell when we were younger and having so much fun on the banana. This time, after we took the little girls for a ride, me and Jacqie stayed on and 3 BIG boys joined us......not so fun. I had the worst headache the rest of the day.....getting landed on, kicked, and hit in the head by these 3 BIG boys.

I love these two sweet girls!!

I don't think Ellie was enjoying herself, do you?

Halloween

My sweet little girls!!

This was a last-minute costume. 5 minutes before we were supposed to leave our house, I pulled Shawn away from his desk. He just put on the most random things he could find. He wanted to be Nacho Libre but we decided that spandex pants might not be appropriate for a ward trunk-or-treat.

I got tagged...

Thanks Kelli, I'm really not sure how this is going to turn out but here goes.....
