YUM!

Is this cutie getting good at feeding herself, or what?!

Lake Powell

I can't even put into words how much I LOVE Lake Powell! Some of my very best memories are of going there with my family every year growing up, so I was super excited to go again and take the kids this time. We were sad Adam had summer classes and couldn't come, but we definitely had a great time!

 Cameron helping Uncle Bry drive the houseboat

 Cruising the lake on a jet ski!

At first Brooklyn REALLY hated the sand and wouldn't even put her feet down. Luckily though, she grew to love it!

 I felt bad for Brooklyn stuck in her lifejacket 24/7, but she sure did look cute! 

Cameron and I went out on some not-too-crazy tub runs and he loved it! Later I even joined in on some of the teen tube runs...just to prove I'm not too old! ;)

 This is the rock Adam carved our initials in when we were 16!! Now that's true love!

 It took some convincing, but Cameron even went off the slide with Uncle Bry!

Way to go buddy!

 What a beautiful place and a fantastic trip!!

Nashville

Flights to Utah were cheaper leaving from Nashville than they were leaving from Memphis, so we booked our flight out of Nashville and decided to make a little pre-vacation out of it!

We LOVED Nashville! Such a beautiful city with some fun places to visit.

 The Colosseum 

 The Grand Ole Opry...obviously.

 Inside the Grand Ole Opry Hotel. It was gorgeous!

 The Aquarium Restaurant

 So cool!

 The kids even willingly touched stingray!

 And, of course, we had a blast staying in a hotel and swimming in the hotel pool!

What a perfect start to our summer vacation!

Preschool Graduation 2009

Miss Tiff's Preschool 2008-2009

What a fun year with a cute group of kids!

 

 My cute little preschool "graduate!" 

This poor kid has two more years of preschool with mom ahead of him. He sure will be ready for Kindergarten! ;)

FOUND!!

Cameron's prayer Thursday night: "Please, Heavenly Father...Please...Please find my dad." :)

What a great lesson in answered prayers! :) After pretty much 3 long weeks of leaving before the kids got up and coming home long after they went to bed (Cameron also told me one day that dad was like Santa and the Easter Bunny - "He knows when I am sleeping and can come to our house!") Adam is DONE with finals! And even better, he did very well! We are SO glad our dad was FOUND!! :) 

We sure LOVE having him around!
