THE EDWARDS

End of Summer 2011

Lots of random things, but good for me to remember

Snuggles with mama

Fountains

Laying on the ground gets you warm

My builder

Home Depot kid's workshop - making pencil boxes

We wanted to do a campout and Wesley suggested camping in our backyard. This is our new fire pit that I got for $17, what a steal!

S'mores

The boys were ecstatic!

Date night - always worth a picture

Always fun to ride on daddy

My parents came to visit in August

Cooper working on his computer just like Grandaddy

We love going to the Nature and Science Museum, especially the Expedition Health. You get to see what your stride looks like, wing span, what you'd look like at age 70, etc. It's really fun

The day after my parents left, Wesley's parents came in to help Clint and Kara move - did I mention that they moved to Utah? We are happy for them but so sad to not have them here. Since I am preggo, I couldn't really lift anything so I watched the kids during the day. Here they are getting ready for bed, watching a movie

An hour later, fast asleep

July Edward's Family Reunion 2011

We spent a couple days at Wesley's parent's house before the reunion. We went to Pineview Lake for a 1/2 day on the boat

The boys love being on the boat

Jake decided he wanted to waterski.

The boat started pulling him and he didn't get up, but he wouldn't let go so the boat was dragging him, face in the water. We kept yelling at him to let go so he wouldn't drown. He let go and Wes swam up to him. I thought for sure Jake would be crying but instead he said, "My skis were too loose". And he wants to try again next year. My little crazy man.

It started raining on our outing. It got kinda chilly

Wes in his element. Water skiing, slalom

The whole family went to Bear Lake for the reunion and stayed in these cool condos. It was a blast. We played at the lake nearly everyday

The set up

Wesley chilling, the water was freezing

Of course, sand castles

We went to the caves one day. They were really cool. Neat experience. I didn't take enough pictures but we had a great time

July Vick Family Reunion 2011

We went to my mom's house for our Vick Family Reunion this year. Just us kids and mom and dad. It was so much fun. Sadly, my new computer crashed while we were there and we lost all of our reunion photos. My sister Felecia took tons of pictures and so I got some from her. I'm still so sad we lost all those photos.

We always have a talent show. Everyone has to participate. There were a number of talents: piano, dance, cheer, jokes, etc.

Natalie wears this duck whistle and makes a duck noise, it was cute

Scott and Amanda did My Little Buttercup from Three Amigos.

Our family did Baby by Justin Beiber, Chipmunk version. During the rap part Jake did break dancing. I had it on video, so sad we lost it

My mom rented out the Lehi pool for us one evening. Best idea ever. We are up to mom, dad, 7 kids and spouses and 25 grandchildren. Having the whole pool to ourselves was perfect
