Campin', Fishin', Hikin' & Nate

As you can see we went fishing again! For anyone who knows my husband that is not a big suprise. We also went camping by Pine Lake and hiking to Powell Point (I highly recommend that! Just don't do it with children.)


Aaron, Wes, Easton, Shayden and Tyler with their catch.

Tyler and his favorite toy.


Aaron and Easton on Powell Point. Look at what a drop off there is. Easton is upset in this pic because we had to get after him about getting too close.


"It's too far"



"I'm too tired!"




This is why I do not recommend taking children on this hike! Ahhhh! This is Abbey and Macie, her best friend.


Can anyone guess who this might be!!???

4th of July

To an outsider looking in a 4th of July in Orderville might appear a little too mild to some, but I loved it growing up and I love going there now on this particular holiday. Every year our family does a float in the parade. Now mind you, parades in Orderville are a little different, there is only about 14 or so floats and that is including the big fire truck and a couple of four wheelers but hey it is a parade. My kids love to ride on a float and this year our float won first prize! Not much competition but we were excited!

Uncle Marv and Abbey


What can I say....I tried!

Our float!

Chilling Out In Mesquite

We decided we needed to go where it was cool so we made our way down to Mesquite (Not!) But thanks to the free lodgings with an excellent central air system, and the free swimming it is a very convenient way to cool down.

Easton doesn't waste any time, he swims like a fish!

Ty, on the other hand, spends more time out of the water than in the water.

My little snorkel princess!
