Boating

Amber and I

Dad takin' on the wake surf board :)

I had to get myself in here somehow!

Nate-O. He was such a good sport... he even let me drive!

My first attempt at wakesurfing. The video where I actually stay up is too long to put on the website. That figures.

This is my pathetic attempt at wake boarding. And yes, this is as good as it got... all 50 million times I tried to get up. Grrrrrr.

Nate

Nate and Amber - now you see why Zoe is so cute?

Almost time to go home ... a storm is rolling in and we are still messing around.

I can't remember what happened here... but it was funny :)

The storm clouds that were coming in fast.

My Bro and I

Weekend Family Fun!

More cuteness from Zoe Mae!

Here's Dan kicking Mom's trash at boxing.

We spent one evening up at Dan's parents eating yummy biscuit bubble and playing Wii with Josh and Riley. Riley kicked my trash at bowling. And then Josh got a Turkey and he was quite proud of himself. Too bad the video file is too large to put on here. :( He was cracking us up.

Dan and Zoe... she's wearing the Cubs hat that Dan just got for me.

Cute little stinker. She looks better in that hat than I do!

Zoe's fake laugh... she's into imitating these days. So funny!

4th of July

Dan and I, by the stream on an Apache Indian Reservation near ShowLow that we camped at for the 4th of July.

On our way!

We stopped at this gas station in the middle of who knows where and there were probably 10 to 15 of these Shelby's parked there...until we were ready to leave of course and then they all decided to leave at the same time... in a nice long line in front of us. I really didn't mind watching them all drive away though. Beautiful! I want one!

Trevor brought his game down all the way from Utah... but I'm not going to write down what he calls it. :) We've played it at our family reunions before too but I can't remember what we called it. Anyway, Dan and I took on Trevor and Jordan and beat them twice in a row - oh yeah! I'm afraid that's all I got to play though. :) The boys were having so much fun!

Besides, I was having fun with my camera ...

Kalee and I explored the stream while the boys played with their game.

These videos are of Dan getting payback for all the scars Jordan gave him when they were little. :) He was having a little too much fun trying to kill his brother though. haha

So the whole point of going up to ShowLow that weekend was to pick up Jordan, Dan's older brother. He caught a ride down from Utah with our friend Michael, and it was actually a surprise for Dan's parents. We were actually supposed to make it all the way to Eagar to get him but... the parentals were making that difficult so Michael was a sweetheart and brought him and Trevor to ShowLow for us. We met up at the Walmart and Jordan casually "bumped" into his mom in the store. It was great! They were so surprised!

We camped... played games... went exploring... it was fun!

The End.

Tickle Me Zoe

Dad's are great for all sorts of things... hugs, kisses, money, armrests...

Zoe and Amber came to visit me on Sunday for a little but while they waited for my brother Nate. And we had so much fun! I kicked Amber's trash at SkipBo and then Zoe entertained us for the rest of the afternoon. The cute little stinker is sitting up on her own now, and chewing on everything. :) She was getting quite a kick out of her mom throwing her up in the air and tickling her too. Crazy girl loves to be thrown around. I think she enjoyed flirting with Dan the most though. Haha.

Later that night, I got to babysit for a little while so Nate and Amber could go pick up my parents from the airport. I was kinda bummed when Amber said she would probably be in bed already by the time I would get there... but she wasn't! She was still having too much fun in the bath when I showed up, so I got to feed her a bottle and put her to bed. This was the first time I've had the opportunity to babysit Zoe, so I was really excited. That sweet little girl was so good for me too. She was all cuddly and smily the whole time.... even when she spit up all over me. :) She started falling asleep in my arms after she was done with her bottle, so I decided I wasn't in a hurry to put her in her crib just yet. Most of the time she doesn't like to sit still so it's hard to catch her in a cuddly mood - expecially if you aren't mom or dad - so I just ate it up. So much fun! That little girl has me completely wrapped around her little finger. She is so stinkin cute!
