Our first boat trip of the season

We went to Utah Lake on Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa Martin.  The water was cold but the weather was perfect.  

We all had a great time!

For some strange reason I could only download 8 pictures out of 145 that I took.  

Dru was able to wake board with Ryan for the first time and Olivia took a turn driving the boat. I hope I can get those pictures to work soon.

My little Bengal

Olivia's graduation from Bengal Paw Preschool was today.  She has been looking forward to this day for so long.  She woke up and the first thing out of her mouth was..."AHHHH, today is my graduation!"

This is Mrs. Hardman who is the director of the preschool.  She is asking Olivia what her favorite animal is...she said a ZEBRA.

Our cute little carpool: 

Liv, Jared, Kamryn and Pheobe

Olivia has a lot of people who love her.  

Thank you everyone for coming!

Rylie enjoyed the lunch afterwards...

and dessert!

some summer sprinklers

one hot afternoon=sprinklers at Megan's house.

I LOVE how it doesn't take much to make kids SMILE.

Another one bites the dust...

Dru lost her FRONT tooth!

It had been loose for days and after constant wiggling, it finally came out.  We were at a friend's house having a BBQ when Ryan pulled it.

When Dru woke she found the Tooth Fairy had left her a dollar.  Olivia started to sob because it just wasn't fair.  She couldn't understand why her teeth weren't falling out!

A little hike

Last Saturday afternoon we went on a hike up towards Dog Lake.  We ran into more snow that we had anticipated.  The girls did great job and the only complaint was Rylie when I slipped on ice and dropped her.  We are so lucky to live so close to the mountains where I am sure we will be hiking a lot this summer.  

Dru was a great older sister and helped Olivia whenever she was nervous about the snow.

This was our first resting break.  It is really steep and narrow in the beginning .

My little hikers.

The start and finish was the hardest part.  We had to cross a big and a little stream.  Ryan had to carry each of the girls one at a time.

Dru is full of it....

Olivia burned her hand on the iron yesterday.  

Dru was playing dominoes 

at the time and while Olivia was crying Dru spelled this message out for Liv.  

Dru has a lot of love to give.

Dru and Liv
