Solar Eclipse

We procrastinated and didn't make or purchase the glasses to view this. Paul grabbed his 2 welding masks though and they seemed to do the trick nicely. It was pretty awesome.


Ring of Fire, which is green in this shot because the welding masks had a green tint.

Our entertainment while taking turns with the masks.

on the lake

We spent the majority of our time on the lake on Saturday since our camp became crowded out by the finest white trash vegas has to offer. It was great though, everyone got up and it was so fun watching everyone wipeout.
Lainie on the shark. (I think that's what it is called.)
She and Ava did so well on this. Ava went in and out without even getting wet. Her pics are on Paul's phone which I'll upload later.

Anna tried the shark, but was too heavy. So then she tried to wake board. Only took her a few tries to get up and she LOVED it!

Paul and I surfed. I never let go of the rope, too nervous! Nothing like a face full of water!


The babes just hung out on the boat with no complaints.

It was a fun weekend, but a lot of work and travel for one night. Next time, we'll spend the day on the boat and then sleep in a hotel. Much better than enduring the 2 hours sand storm in the middle of the night. :) Thanks Hirt family!

Lake Mead

We met the Hirt family at Lake Mead for an overnight camping/boat trip.

The kids loved swimming and playing in the sand along the beach.




No camping trip is complete without smores.
Lily waited so patiently.


And it paid off. See was so happy.

Making smores with BIG marshmallows proved difficult to eat!

performance

Lainie was one of 5 girls that made the splits club for the year.


A shot of her dance group after their hip hop performance.

dang technology

um, no words.

District Track Meet

She did awesome, but I was relieved she didn't make it passed districts. Way to go Anna!

Dance Pics

I have a really hard time paying for pictures that I feel I can take better of my own children. However, I did want a group shot of the dancers and thought it would be rude if I jumped in with my camera. I snapped a couple quick shots right before I dropped them off, but had I known the group shots would come out so terribly I would have taken more time and got some better shots of these girls.
This is the group shot after I worked on it a bit in photoshop.

Cute girls, just wish Brin wasn't blurry.

Cali

Took a quick trip to CA for a wedding. Just Paul and I. And it was his birthday. Loved it.

Buddies

To say these two are buddies would be an understatement. Owen adores his daddy. Here he is, just woken up from a nap wanting to snuggle with dad.

Besties

Can never get enough of these two.

Little Nibbler

Pulled out some flat bread to make myself a delicious turkey/avocado/sprout sandwich today. Not sure which to use. I must have a big mouse in that pantry.

photoman

Someone stole my little point and shoot...not sure who.

Vegas

My sister in law Nicole and Family were visiting Vegas for the Easter weekend so we headed down to spend the day with them at the pool. Great seeing you guys!

Easter Morning

Egg Hunt

all the gang with their loot from the annual Dammeron Valley Easter Egg Hunt

Getting an extra squeeze from the easter bunny.



Afterward we headed to the Art Festival. Forgot their suits though, so did it WT style.
