Why We Love It

We're back from Powell and it's bittersweet. I have piles and piles of laundry and chores to do now, but it's all worth it. I'll get my chores done, and head back up to Snowflake for my baby sister's Sweet 16. Can you believe it? Am I getting old or what. I'll post about that later. Anyway, Lake Powell was great this year, as usual. We had really good weather and had a great time with my family. Here's some pictures of our time on the lake(I'll try to contain myself).
Jayden playing on the beach with Grandma. My mom looked so good at Lake Powell, seriously look at those legs. Can't you tell she was in Pom(to clear it up, it's POM as in dance at McClintock High).
One spot where we parked there were a ton of lizards on the rocks. Jayden loved looking for them, Matt loved catching them, and Jeanie couldn't get the courage to catch them, as for me, too slow, too fat.
Jayden and Matt on the jet ski, notice he's awake.
Now he's asleep. Either Matt's a really boring driver(ha ha, right), or it's just that relaxing.
Just a group shot on the beach.
Jayden and Matt getting ready to go on the tube.
I didn't know if Jayden would go but he did and he liked it.
I was so proud.
Okay my husband works so hard at the gym and is so dedicated, it's amazing to me(and a little irritating because he looks so good, and I just keep getting bigger and bigger). Look at how delicious he is. I couldn't keep my eyes off him. This year he was smoking hot. Good job babe.
Jayden being his model self, seriously could I make money off of him or what.
One of the only pictures of me. I promise I was there, just behind the camera most of the time. Plus I didn't do too much activities. I didn't want to risk anything happening.
Matt has become quite the fisherman. Pretty big eh.
Again is he not just beautiful. I swear I'm not too biased.
Another jet ski ride with Daddy, again he's awake.
Comes back asleep.
Us girls painted our toes and Jayden had to be apart of it. Here he is modeling his hands.
Waite Family, Lake Powell 2009

It was so much fun to play with cousins and be with different family members this year. We missed James like crazy, and for me it wasn't the same without him. Can't wait for next year.

Ready or Not, Here We Come

So today is the day I've been waiting for almost two years now. We didn't go last year, and I've missed it so bad. It will be different since I am big and huge right now, but that's okay, no cute bikinis for me, ha! The sun is still calling my name. Plus my sweet boy James will be absent and so it won't be the same without him. If you've guessed Lake Powell, you're right. Today we are off. I can hardly contain myself with the excitement I have. So for the next few days I will be relaxing on top of a house boat, improving my tan, enjoying the best family there is, and wishing it would never end. See ya soon.
(This is us two years ago at the Lake. Time goes by so fast, and luckily babies get cuter.)

Snowflake, Birthdays & Babies

Well I'm 30 weeks now and I can't believe I still have 10 more to go. It's not that I am miserable or uncomfortable, it's that these last 10 weeks have gone by so slow and I want so badly to see our little girl. To pass the time by quicker we have been trying to keep busy. We've spent some time up in the beautiful weather of Snowflake. Like I've said 100,000 times Jayden loves it up there because he can play outside and never feel like it's too hot. Here are some pictures I took while we were in Snowflake.




Yesterday we played with the Overstreets for Jaxon's birthday. Jason's parents have turtles and so that was really fun to see. It was a really nice day and so good to see the Overstreets.



This week Jayden was also lucky enough to get three new cousins. Ryan & Amanda had their twin boys, and my brother Darrell and his wife Kendra had their baby girl. After the party we went over to see baby SARAH (that's for Kendra). You would think that my babies would look somewhat like this but no. My babies will probably all be blonde with blue eyes and light skin. Oh well, at least Jayden's pretty. P.S. Sorry Kendra and Darrell for posting a picture of your baby. I couldn't help it. What can I say, I want one.
