ECHO LAKE!!!!!

Look at these tan blondies!

Julie met us at Echo Lake!! Addie LOVED playing with Anne and Faye!

The lifejacket squishes those big cheeks together. He is in his pjs here, so it must have been the early morning ski run.

Ow ow!!! There is something so studly about water skiing. I never miss the early morning run...or I'd miss THIS! :)

What a stud, eh? Then I told him I was getting a stud shot and he gave me this next one...

Okay, enough. :)

While we were there, Grant turned one!!

Cracks me up that Zach is giving baby brother Everett bunny ears! Ha!

Addie loves to sit in the front of the boat! That was my favorite spot too!

I love this one how he is playing with a sister. :)

Boating beauty. Front of the boat again! She's claimed her spot!

I think he got a little tired of boat rides some times.

Everett LOVES Papa Low. Now that he talks he's is always asking for Papa in his grunty raspy voice and heaven forbid I run into their house to grab something without bringing him with! Cries like crazy!

Family tube ride! If we have many more we may sink that thing!

Just a random kissing shot. Zach is a sensitive, sentimental boy and his sweet kisses feel like suction cups. He sucks in when he kisses and it feels so funny!

Justin and Robbie went for a killer tube ride. Not my kind of tubing.

Love his facial expressions. He really was hamming it up for the kids.

I love how the boat lulls babes to sleep. :)

Justin had a Young Men's boating activity back home and so he too Everett and I back to Waterton Reservoir for a day date while all of our others stayed back with the family.

Addie is in heaven whenever she gets to play with Anne and Faye! They are 3 weeks older than Addie. Like cute little blond triplets. :)

We bribed the kids to ski! They wanted to try but needed a bit of enticement to get over the twinge of fear. They went out every day and tried it! I think they'll have it next year!

She got it!

Kate's turn!

My squinty stud...once again.

My other squinty stud.

I told him to smile. And definitely got what I asked for!

This captures how much his soft golden hair is growing in! He was such a soft head.

Mwahh. Oh I love to squeeze him!

The three blondies.

EZ ski time!

SHE LOVES IT!

TOO CUTE.

Nasty nose, but beautiful eyes!! Still not walking! Just army crawling everywhere.

The girls in their rightful place.

The last day before we left...I deflated the bed with Justin and Everett still in it. Up and at em boys! We got to sleep in the food room! Ate all night. :)
