Fun October Week 10/13 - 10/18/09


Lainee had her first school report. They had to do them on dinosaurs & she picked T-rex. They had to write their reports & then present them orally along with a picture - the picture on the board is Lainee's that she drew. She did her report all by herself & she did a GREAT job!




The girls then had their Raptor Romp performances but before the dances got going we had a breakdown by Lainee - they seem to happen often these days! These will be fun pictures for her to enjoy! (I am so MEAN!)



The slideshow is of both Lainee & Olivia's dances.




Rigby was a good supporter, cheering & dancing with his sisters.



Friday we headed out to Lake Powell with Kyle & Heidi Hafen on their houseboat. Natalie & Tyler Christensen were there too with their friends Guy & Crystal.


We took all the kids on the tube & Olivia bawled the whole time! We were good parents & made her stay on until we got back to the marina!


So after the tube ride, Kyle had a little heart to heart with Olivia about being afraid!

Lainee was SO brave! She jumped at the chance to waterski & did AWESOME! She got right up & rode around until we finally said stop!

Kyle is once again teaching another generation to ski! He taught me how back in high school!

Some random pictures from the trip.


Lainee also tried wakeboarding & again did AWESOME! She popped right up on her first try! She loved it & kept wanting to go more so she could get better!

Then it was mine & Trent's turn to try something new. We tested out our surfing skills. That's pretty fun. A little hard to stay in that sweet spot but fun nonetheless!


No rope! Good job Trent!



Check it out! My hair is even still dry! But that didn't last long!

On the way home we stopped at the dam & walked the bridge. It was a fun weekend. Hopefully we will be invited back again!

Wow, sounds like you guys had so much fun. I am glad to hear that some other mom is mean, like me, and makes their kids do things when they are crying. It makes them tuff, right?

So how did those guys die in the marathon? Was it health issues?

You are always doing fun things! And yes, you are so mean, but those pictures of Lainee crying are pretty funny =)

You look like a model surfing with your hair dry! What a fun family activity. Your little Olivia looked so cute having a talk with Kyle. I haven't seen Kyle in so long! Fun post.

Yea...I actually was thinking a lot after the game about how happy Trent and my little bro would be. The Broncos are having a great year so far. My parents were cheering for the Chargers (for Kenny) and then would cheer for the Broncos (for Austin). I was afraid people were going to kick them out of the stands!
