Lake Powell

I promise we are alive! I just looked and it has been a while since I have posted anything. It has been a crazy busy month but more just busy with work and nothing too exciting. Over the weekend we got to go on our annual Lake Powell trip and had a lot of fun. We didn't get to stay as long as we like because Cody had to come back to work today but we still had fun. I was thinking that I didn't take very many pictures but then when I put them on my computer I realized I still had quite a few. I was really nervous about Sky this year because she is at a crazy age and I wasn't sure how she would feel about keeping a life jacket on for 4 days straight but she did SO GOOD! She didn't hardly complain about it at all, I still had to worry about her running off but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

McKenna and Sky ready to go on a boat ride

Sportin her shades...While others were wakeboarding I sat on the back to take pictures of them and she just stood there and watched them, she loved it!

The water was freezing! For some reason she didn't think so, she didn't want to get out!

Grandpa was nice and played in it with her. She was grinning from ear to ear, she must have been numb cause it was COLD!

She sat on this thing for quite a while and didn't want to get off. Then she decided she was done and tried getting off on her own. Luckily my Dad was close by and I was sitting on the deck ready to get in...she still fell all the way in.

The aftermath:

You would think she was crying because she was cold but I think it scared her more than anything cause she wanted to get right back in and swim with me.

She was so excited to go for a ride with daddy

He came back a few minutes later and she was not very happy...turns out she just wanted to sit on it, she didn't want him to go fast.

On Saturday afternoon a big storm rolled in and brought ALOT of wind. With the wind comes very rough water so there wasn't much to do. Unfortunately it lasted until late Sunday night so we had to sit on the houseboat and find ways to entertain the kids.

The girls found jumping on the bed their favorite

Cody caught some pretty good fish this time...

The whole group

Jonny has had a full beard for a few weeks now and while we were there he decided he would shave it...

Of course he couldn't just shave it all off or even into a nice goatee, he had to do something crazy...now he really looks like a hillbilly.
