Hank Wakeboards

So of course the one time I don't bring my camera...Hank decided he wanted to try wakeboarding, but he didn't want to do it on his own. So Josh strapped in, put Hank on his board and boarded with him. I was afraid they wouldn't even get up. Good thing Josh is so buff and a good boarder (and me a good driver)cuz they got up. It was the cutest thing ever. Hank had so much fun, but was scared at the same time. He got brave and held the rope a few times but when it got choppy, he'd let go and hold one arm over Josh's leg and the other around his arm. It was hilarious. So then they hit one wave and Hank got a little ruffled so they let go. Well he decided he was done so we pulled them into the boat, then Hank decided he wanted to go again with one stipulation... that I don't make his shorts fall down. You see he informed us that the last time his "pants fell down like a mile" he said as he demonstrated what had happened showing everyone on the boat his bum. He is usually very private about no one seeing his bottom, so that made it even funnier. Needless to say he went out again and loved it. But loves the tube more.

We took the staff out on the boat. We had a lot of fun. The water was glass when we got there at 6:30 in the morning, then we chopped it up for everyone with the tube. I'm not in this pic, my dental assistant, hygienst and Hank, but I got on afterward and was the only one that got knocked off. Josh is a crazy driver (I'm sure it was his intention to get one of us off the tube)

This is what I looked like after the tube, my hair was so teased and tangled, everyone was laughing at me. Its not that bad right?

Ali Thinks she gets to go to school too. So she has her blanket, like 5 bears and a book in my backpack.

Hank was not very excited about Kindergarten, he is slowly getting over it. He certainly didn't want his 1st day of school picture taken...what do you think of the hot pink curtains in the background?

While in California, all the kids wanted to take sewing lessons so i taught them on my totally awesome, footpedal-less sewing machine that I got 2 christmas' ago. ( I love it!) Parker wanted to sew everyday, look out Tommy Hilfiger, you've got some competition.

Ali & Tinkerbell at Nana & Papa's when we went to see Ryan come home. Tinkerbell would sit on everyone elses lap and Ali would get so mad because she wanted the dog to sit on hers. So when Tinkerbell finally did she sat ther licking her hands and arms, it was disgusting but Ali got a kick out of it. I told her that she tasted so good because she eats so much candy.

Mom's house, Hank's "Carnival" Birthday Party and Uncle Adam so kindly accepted to be our "Pie in the Face" Carnie. Thanks Adam. It was the best part of the party, of course attacking mom with waterballoons was awfully fun too.

Lets just rub it in.

David & Adam

Andrew, you're so buff! Keep working on that.

Do you wonder what they're all looking at?

Thats me waving.

Thats Josh saying he loves me in sign language. Hank was mad at him for taking him on that ride because of the big drop. Guess he forgot to tell him about that.

Zuma Beach with the cousins

Parker and Ali played so well together, they're so cute.

Uncle David building sand castles with the kids, looks like he was chasing them but he wasn't. Well maybe he was...

Cute Parker. I put blue gel in his and Hank's hair but Parkers was too dark to notice. He like it spikey though.

When we got there, He ran straight to the water. Surfer in training? Not if they find anymore great whites off our coasts.

Digging


Showing off the rocks they found. Ali copied everything Parker did.

She insisted on pulling the wagon at the zoo. Which I never recommend taking a wagon to the Phx Zoo. Notice she only has one piggy in, thats because she doesn't like to have her hair done, so she'd rather look scraggly. Princesses and ponies? Not my daughter, give her an airplane and army men. She also is in love with Superman, but whose not? Our zoo has an amazing water play area that why she looks like she doesn't have pants on, she has her swimsuit on under her shirt. Notice how Hank is oblivious to whats going on, he didn't even know she was pulling him. Way to into his snowcone.

Awe my little pumpkin.

Kalee, Hank & Taylor

Kalee & Hank

Bull-Riding

Oh yeah, she thinks she's a power ranger too. Splash pad at our mall.

Cuteness speaks for itself...I made the skirt.

Ahhh. Finally a picture of me. I don't know what Ali was doing, but we took this pic like 5 times and she kept making funny faces each time. Goofball. Outside of Minnie's House.

Apparently I was the only one interested in taking a picture to remember what a fun fourth of July we had in Heber. Josh thinks it actually cool to do "Blue Steele".

It looks she is standing graveside, but she's not. It was at least 100 degrees and she would not let me take her long sleeves and tights off.
