Thanksgiving 2009

This Thanksgiving this is what we woke up to! Yes it's a Hot Air Balloon parked at the end of my sidewalk. Emma came running downstairs and woke us up to see it. It really was quite cool. The fly around here all the time and we've watched them land a couple of times, but never this close! This picture is taken from the front window in the piano room. It was really fun to watch people get out, then more got in and then off they flew. When they took off. (We went back to bed, not thinking clearly) they flew right over our house and the balloon completely filled Emma's window upstairs. I wish I hadn't gone to bed and got that shot. It would have been fantastic! She said it really just filled her whole window up. I can't believe they can do that and be that close to my house and not hit something! It was a great way to start the day of Thanks!

Pretty cool shot, don't you think?
So here we are in Grandma and Grandpa'a garage and here are Drew and Em with their cousins, Jordan and Marcus. Jordan just left this morning for the Army Reserves training and won't be home for 6 months!(It's Jan. 19th) I already miss him!
Now some little ones. We've got Chloe, Ella, Nomers(Naomi) and Jaden! All giving very tight squeezes!
Here are Cory's parents, Jerry and Jackie and Jerry's Mom, Grandma Fullmer. She just turned 90 about 2 weeks before this Thanksgiving!
Now here is Cory's little Brother(ha, ha!) and the soon to be newest member of the family, Krista! They are getting married on April 9th and we can't wait and are very excited, she's fantastic and we all think they are perfect for each other and we love her! Welcome Krista!
Here is a picture of Cory's youngest sister Jana with her hubby Ed.
Here is his other sister Lisa and her husband, Tony. Jordan and Marcus are her boys. You could probably figure that out by looking at them. Jordan actually looks almost identical to Cory when he was that ages.

I call this another "Like Father Like Son!" moment! Sad part is, we have so many sons!

Here are the 4 of us. All the other boys had to be other places this year. So it was just Cory and I with Em and Drew! But we had a great time, just wished the other kids could have come!


1/9/10

Before it got too cold we decided to take a ride up the canyon to the top. You can see Heber and Midway when you get there. I should have stopped and taken pictures on the way up, it was pretty. It was also cold and Emma wasn't feeling well, but she still wanted to come. So we pretty much just hurried up, took pictures, and hurried down. Still fun just really, really, really, fast! If you know any of us Boyles, you know we're ok with driving fast, so not that much of a problem.

Em, Drew and I at the top. I love helmets shots. Who is who? This could be just some random people that we don't even know, yet we always take them? It's just a pain to take them off and put them back on. We're lazy, I admit it!
Bunny Ears really? At first I thought this was Cory, because he does this whenever he isn't watched, closely. Then looking closer you can see it's Drew in the background. That's my family, and I love them. What can I say?!
So this is me at the top and there is Midway in the background. You can't really see it, but we could and it was really pretty and it was a fun. We're lucky to live so close. It takes us about 15 minutes to get to up there and after living here 5 years(5 years next week actually, yikes!) this year we really took advantage of it. We've got a yearly pass and we still go up a couple times a month. It's really beautiful covered with snow. Actually it's breathtakingly beautiful! I just need to remember to take the camera next time we go up.
So I need a picture of Drew and Em. Em drove up, so Drew got to drive down. So I couldn't see Emma and told her so. This is the shot I got. She was a little out of it, but I like the shot.
One of my favorite things is watching Cory put the ATV's back in the trailer. You just never know. It's very manly, in fact, so manly in fact that he really is the only one who can do it. (whatever). I will admit when we have 3 bikes on there it's dicey and I wouldn't do it. We need a bigger trailer. I think it might be on the list for next year. We have a lot of trips planned (Alex is in a play next month, Em and I are college scouting and we might do London to see Alex over there with his Masters program), so we'll see if we have money left over for a bigger trailer and another 1 or 2 ATV's. It would be great and we do love them. So we'll see. (We missed a really good deal on 2 this year, that a man down the street was selling and we're kicking ourselves!) I hate when that happens. You think about it about 30 minutes too long and there gone.
Ok, best shot of the day! I wish I could zoom in on Emma's face. All around her goggles her face is covered in dirt. It was hilarious, and she already felt like crap. She was right behind Cory and I on the way up, and she was literally eating our dust. Or at least absorbing it. This pictures says it all! "Wow, I'm so glad I came, this was great! Please lets go again, I can't wait!"
So good times had by all. I too was covered in dirt and Cory must have really had a good time. That smile look like it's hurting him(I'm pretty sure it's hurting me!). It really was a great day.

Fall Photo Shoot!

We headed up the canyon to take photo's because Emma missed school photos and I wanted some for the family room. It was a beautiful day and there were probably 300 cars up there doing the same thing. We came up with a few good ones and these are the ones I like the best. My kids would choose others, but....
I never like photo's of me, but I didn't hate this one and I think Emma looks absolutely beautiful! I wish I were as photogenic as she is.
Emma and I being Emma and I. Shawn wanted us to look casual and this was what we came up with. We're just goofy, the whole lot of us!
One of my favorite shots of the year! Drew's look on his face is priceless. Basically it's, "Really Mom, you are ridiculous!"
This was about as good as it was going to get and it actually looks like Drew and that is good enough for me! He is who he is and he's fantastic!
I like this one a lot and it ended up framed in the family room with the one of Drew. We got a lot of good shots.
I really love this of Drew, he was having trouble smiling(see above) so finally Shawn took this one and it reminds me of the, fink, fink, fink days, when he was younger(like 4 or 5) and you'd ask him a question, he would actually touch his chin and tap it and say,"fink, fink, fink!" That was durring our trouble with his TH sound. Cute story, he came home from school, 1st grade and said,"Mom, they want me to do Speech Therapy. They think I have trouble with my vas, and vers. (the and there's). Do you think I need it?" I almost peed my pants!
I LOVE this shot of Emma! She's not crazy about it, but what teenage girl ever like photo's of themselves. Once in a while she'll say,"I guess that ones ok."
We were trying to get Lucas to look at us and he just kept looking down. In his defense, he didn't feel great. So this is what it came down to. Pretty much everyone holding his head up! Abby was the first one to try it and it was funny, watching her try and keep his head up. What a good little sister and she's already IN CHARGE!

Here's Lucas and Abby. Lucas actually kept his head up for this shot and I love it because you can see the missing teeth and now the 2 huge ones are coming in. It's an attractive stage in life, right! Your cute little kids, turn into I don't know Alienish looking things! Still cute, but different cute and they no longer look like your little babies.

Puerto Vallarta Sept. 2009

Here is our Hotel. (I took this shot Parasailing!) It's the Riu Palace. We had never stayed there before, but got a great last minute deal and it was very nice. I wouldn't take the kids, they don't have a lot for kids to do on site. For us it was great! They actually had decent food too. Very unusual for an all inclusive resort.

What do we do first? Head straight to the pool, looking out over the ocean!
Cory feels the need to get in the ocean, I having been tossed around by
the Pacific a few times, feel no need. I love looking at it and being around it,
and occasionally walking in it. But I don't want to be killed by waves! (Although
snorkeling is my favorite, and I'm going to get certified to go diving with Cory.)

Here is a great shot of my hubby and the Hotel. Our room is pretty much right
above Cory's head in this shot!
It was all inclusive, so we ate way to much. That's what vacation are for right?
We usually spend most of our time at the resort, just relaxing, because our lives
are so crazy. This time though I'm not sure what got into us, but we were quite adventurous! Sailing is one of Cory's favorite things! So this is just a little catamaran they had at the hotel but it was a riot! The water was warm and the weather was perfect. We stayed out there quite a while and had a great time. He's gotten a lot better, (funny story for another time! Ask his mother, or the Florida Coast Guard!) Ok, not the Coast Guard, but there was a rescue involved. I've said too much. Sorry, moving on.
I LOVE THIS SHOT! Funny part is I took it. Who knew?
Here I am doing nothing but enjoying the ride and trying not to get hit in the head when we change directions and swing the sail thingy across! (Thingy is a sailing term)
Now we are going crazy. I had never parasailed. The kids had gone and Cory, but for some reason,maybe I was a little scared,(maybe a lot!) but this was my first time. Cory runs up to me at the pool and says "come on their ready for you!" Ready for what? So off I go and, well I LOVED IT! As soon as I landed I told him, please, go get more money! I want to do it again and take the waterproof camera with me. He laughed, ran and got more money and the guys running this thing were shocked! Maybe because I had been a little hesitant. But for going again, they gave me a longer rope and more time. It was fantastic!
So now I have the camera and here's the boat pulling me. You're higher than this looks!
So I thought I have to have proof that I did this. I tried to take this of myself and it worked, but how much cooler would it have been if I had held the camera down and looked up so you could actually see the parachute behind me. Hindsight right?
Cory is taking this shot of me coming in for my landing. Now you have to know, you have about 30 to 40 feet between buildings and water to land in. The people that did it right after me didn't fare so well. You should have heard the screaming that was going on by the guys running this thing. It made me look good and I really wasn't.
But I totally nailed it!
Then we took a boat out to go snorkeling,(not unusual, we almost alway do that). This time though they had horseback riding with it. I have been begging my husband for the better part of 30 years to get on a horse. I love them, grew up with them, and he's been on one, once. So he gave in and said he would do it for me! Shocked and amazed! I still am shocked just looking at the pictures.
He loves underwater shots. So here he is.........SNORKELING UNDERWATER!
Here we are after snorkeling, back on the boat. We snorkeled around those little islands and through a little opening that divided two of them. Not the best snorkeling, but still fun. It was a beautiful day and the water was warm. What's not to like?
Here are just some random shots of the pool and the hotel. That's me, way over there. There is a reason that's the closest I'm going to get. I look like a drowned rat when I get wet. It's not pretty.
THAT'S MY MAN!
After snorkeling we went to a part of the area that you can only get to by boat. We rode the horses up this little canyon to this waterfall. Not to huge or anything, but pretty and then we found out you could swim(and by you, I mean everyone but me) up to the waterfall and then slide down it! Of course he had to do it.
Here he is standing, I guess in and underneath the waterfall. Having fun and that's all that mattered.
Getting ready for the slide. I think scarier than he thought! But everyone else is doing it. Peer pressure, what you gonna do?!
He did it! Now you have to use all your strength to get back. Not easy! That's why I'm the one taking pictures.
Now that is one Happy Man!
Now meet Raul. Yes, he bonded and even named his horse. Doesn't he look like a pro?
Here is my little horse Juanita! Yah, ok I named mine too, she was very sweet.
Cory and Raul. I think I need to frame it and put it on his desk in his office.
So our last adventure of the week. Zip-lining thru the jungle. Oh my gosh, so much fun! These were out guides and camera man. If I could have climbed the mountain again, when we were done, I would have gone immediately! LOVED IT! These guys were a riot. So I guess this is a picture they always do. Pick up the husband. Well, I'm like what's with that? I'm not big, I want a picture too! So below is mine.
When I said I want my picture, JJ(the kid in black who picked me up) he just laughed and said,"I Love my job!" It really was so much fun. I seriously can't wait to do it again. I want to take the whole family down there. We had such a good time!
So a few more shots of the hotel. Our room at night before heading out to dinner!
Here's Cory (Dave to me) in the hallway heading to our room.
So here we are and good time were had by all. One of our best vacations in quite a while!

Staycation Aug. 2009

Ok, so this year we looked at houses to rent in Southern California to take everyone to and
it was going to cost us a fortune just for a big enough house. So we decided "STAYCATION 09!"

First thing we and by we I mean everyone but me, (no way my legs would do that") went to Timp Cave. By the pictures I think they had a really good time. So this is the week in a nutshell leaving out cards, eating out, watching movies downstairs on the big screen, playing cards and playing pool, and even playing the piano for some. It was a fun week!

My family-Alex, Emma(we'll discuss her outfit later) Christi, Abby, Shawn, Zoey and Drew!
Em and her Dad. She always looks so afraid, can't really tell is she's having fun, looks like Cory is though, so that's good!
Drew, he can sleep anywhere, anytime. Actually he's just being Drew which is a good thing!
This was Emma's hooker outfit for the hike. I don't know who she thought was going to be up there on the mountain and quite frankly I'm afraid to ask.
So I told you Christi tries to hide, but this one is good and I'm pretty sure she's going to kill me.
Em+ Alex+anything=GOOFY!
Scooby Drew in the cave. Oooooooooh!
Ok, I cannot blame this on the Boyles gene. Hartzell's this is all on you!
It's a where's Cory pictue?! We really should do a book, we're that good!
I'm calling this, the we made it and didn't die! They look semi-thrilled. Not sure what to make of that and I'm not going to guess!
Ok, voted Best Picture of the Day(Emma's hooker shot, came in a very close second) The worlds best, and coolest uncle Drewski! I love this shot. It's so Drew and they adore him.


Ok, now slow start, what to do, what to do, if all else fails we go bowling! We are a really boring family aren't we? I'm so sorry!
I thought I'd start with a picture with someone who can bowl. That would be Alex. He looks like a pro huh? Pro Bowler I mean. Nice form!
This is how I would bowl if I could pick up the ball, so I'll just let Abby bowl for me. Go Abby!
For those of you who haven't met Shawn and Christi's son, this is Lucas Urkel. Hilarious right?
When I could pick up a bowling ball, this is just what I looked like bowling..........but
It paid off. I know, right? She got a strike. No one was more shocked than Em. No I think everyone was shocked actually!
That's our Drew, he's got style! I think he got points too!
The best for last.....my man. Look at him go. He's still got it!



Next stop was Lagoon! It was the perfect day. Not to hot, not to cold and no rain. We had a great time and I even rode a ton of stuff. After my success on the cruise with the patch, I had Cory call me in one and it worked. I didn't get sick or nottin. Luckily I had an extra, Christi needed it before I got there. Once she put it on though she got better and all was well
They look excited, I think Cory is on the end having a heart attack at how much that just cost him to get everyone into Lagoon. Just keep saying we didn't rent a house, we didn't rent a house, so you saved money! He's just not the optimist that I am.
Here we go again. Roller Coasters I can do. Spinning things that make you puke, uh no thanks!
Lucas wanted to ride this ride all by himself and he was great. The whole day he and Abby had a ball and I think they would have ridden everything if they could have.
Ok, didn't everyone love this as a kid? It's still they're favorite! Every time.
Lucas, has a certain gleam, it's a little scary and if you see it, make yourself scarce. Abby wasn't fast enough and took a lot of hits that day.
Ok, so we took this picture to prove I rode this ride, but really I could just stand under the sign and say oh yah I did. I'm saying right now, the truth is in my hair. It didn't look like that before!
Love this photo! In the top 5 for the week. The kids did so great. We really missed Nick and Aiyden and Scarlett. At the last minute he couldn't come, because of work. It happens to much!
He's back for more. The one, the only, the great uncle Drewski!
What do I need to say about this cute face, except I wish Scarlet were there with her!
Ok, we are really Grandparents now. Abby wanted to ride this. No one wanted to go. So we stepped in! That's right and we'd ride it with any one of you too!
Abby, her Mom, (Christi), and I waiting to get spun and then trying not to smash Abby!
Go us! We really all had a fun time! Cory, Drew, me, Em and Christi.
Zoe and Alex. They did this after I had left and I'm glad, I don't think I could have done this one!
Cory and Drew going on the same ride. Drew looks a little less than thrilled!



Now a Utah trip for my kids who don't live here would not be the same, without a trip to Little Sarah. It really is such a fun place to ride the ATV's. It's worth all the dirt. Nuff said!
Here's Cory and I. Why do we keep taking pictures with helmets on? Maybe we forgot to wear them once and that's why. One bump too many!
Shawn and Lucas. Lucas would never get off. He loves riding and is a trooper!
Our sweet, play in the dirt, have crap all over your face and still be cute, ABBY!
Alex and Drew, playing some cards during down time!
I'm just guessing but I think Emma's team just won the game of Schmendrict! It's our own game and our own name, so really don't hurt yourself trying to figure out this game. Unless you've played it with us, you will know it as Ladder Ball or some other name. Long story short. Cory's Dad made all the fathers and father's to be this game out of plastic tubing and golf balls and string long before it came out in the stores. He could have been a rich man, because we love it!

Well that's it for "STAYCATION 09! It really was fun, but hopefully next summer Alex is in London and we'll head over there to see he and Zoey. It's part of his masters program in Theatre to spend the summer over there working with some company that I don't remember!
Sorry Alex, when I remember it though, I will shout it out, ok? I really love my goofy family!

Park Family Reunion-I'll explain below! Aug.2009

The reason we all go to the Park family reunion, is the following!
(Cory's mothers side of the family that we know about 35 of 250 people)
It is fun and we do see people we haven't seen in a long time,
everyone gripes, but we have a good time and here are some shots
from this year!

LOVE THIS PHOTO!
COUSINS!
They are the best of friends! Drew,Marcus, Em and Jordan!
One more shot of the 4 of them!
Jordan is actually lifting Emma off the ground for this shot!
It's one of my favorites!
Em really is the greatest aunt! I think this proves it!
This is how the 3 legged race ended for them.
Sorry they're out of order, I tried, really I did!
This was Emma 10 years ago but with blonde curly hair!
Now Abby is the messy one!
The 3 legged race begins! This is the 1st year they've
done it together and it was fun to watch.
Now for the sack race, Abby, cousin Ella and Lucas!
Go Ella Go!
Lucas did really well as you can see the girls in the back!
This is how Abby finished. With a little help from her Dad.
Em hanging with Lucas after a small and I mean small accident!
What's the song? That's my boy! At least the other to look good!
Here's my boy's wife, Christi. Can you see the resemblance?
They say after time you start to look alike!
Ok, better for the most part. Shawn, Christi, Lucas and Abby.
Finally one just for Mom. THANK YOU!
Now was that so hard?
Cory's little bro. Jared with Marcus.( I know funny, right?)
The future Mrs. Jared Fullmer has yet to be seen,
at least by us at that point!
Cory and his Mom, that's all I have to say about that!
Cory's sister Lisa and I, because I knew they scream at me,
when I don't put pictures up of me! Sorry! I hate them!
Cory's Mom and Dad! They are terrific! I am very lucky!
Cory's youngest sister Jana with her hubby Ed.
Ok, last shot. Hoping you'd be bored by now and not see it.
I thought Shawn was going to throw something at me.
Well he didn't, he just got this really bad picture of me instead!

New River Kayaks at Tibble Fork July 2009

Great photo to start with. The kids on this small resevior.
We're idiots really, It's about 15 to 20 minutes from our house!
We went up for the afternoon with Shawn and Christy and the kids.
then Phil and Barb joined us later on in the day. Tons of fun!
Probably the one and only picture you'll see of Abby in a 2 piece suit!
Her parents forgot hers, so this was the improv. Old Lucas shorts I had
and Emma's top that is tied tightly around her neck and back!
I had to get at least one picture because I knew it might be the last.
Ok, I knew Shawn and Christi were with us, but this is the only
one I could find with a face and Christi always had her back
to the camera! I think she did it on purpose. She does things like that!
She's very sneaky! But here is Shawn and Lucas.
Quite possibly the best photo of the day! So cute, both of them!
But honestly I got a lot of cute shots of the kids that day.
Em and I looking are finest! We had a blast though.
Lucas had a very good day! He loved it!
Oh my gosh, How could you not love this face?
I do not want Abby to grow up! They become teenage girls!
Cory and Drew I think having fun?
Drew, Cory and Lucas. Lucas getting ready to jump out!
I didn't know that when I took this shot. Funny kid!
How can you not smile at that face? Lucas in one of Phils Kiwi's!

American Idol- or as I like to call it. Wow I spent a butt load of money on that!

Emma, Alisya and Megan being, well, teenagers!
Best part she doesn't even talk to these girls anymore!
Megan, Alisya and Emma.
Do they look like they were having fun?
Proof I was actually there.
I took all pictures of the girls and the show!
Adam and no joke this is almost how close we were.
Adam and Kris, sad story after Adam did his
solo stuff so many people left and then the winner
Kris came out to not nearly the applause and they
missed the rest of the show where they all sang.
So rude and idoits!
Kris was adorable and it really was fun to see them live.
So much talent, Cory died,(didn't go) but I had a great time.
The final 10 sang at the end and here are the final 4. Gokey
Alison, Kris and Adam,(of course, hard to miss!)

The rest of Summer 2009


One of the better shots of Cory and I. At least he's just
eating. He didn't have much time to make a face!
Seriously this is Emma! Phone in hand running out
the door and absolutely beautiful!
My absolute favorite picture of Drew. I cropped from the
one below because I loved how great Drew looked
he's getting so grown up and handsome!
Here's the picture with Grandma Joyce in it, still cute!
That right there is Cory's son and daughter-in-law
The only picture of my Grandkids, Abby and Lucas
that I got that day. They never sat still.
Two goofy Grandpa! But would you want
it any other way?
Brayden, Katelyn and adorable baby Brooklyn!
Proud Grandma Green with Kate and Brooklyn!

Moab July 2009


Ok we decided we had heard enough great stuff about Moab
and we just need to go see for ourselves. Shawn and Christi
decided to go with us. They wanted to camp, I wanted to laugh!
So they camped about 10 or 15 minutes from the Inn we stayed at. 
All in all we had a fantastic time and cannot wait to go again.
Learned some things though. Never camp down there in summer!
Stay a little closer to Moab. Although we liked our little Inn.
It was about 20 minutes from town and that was a pain at times.
It was absolutely beautiful and we had the greatest time.
I cannot believe that Cory nor I had ever been there.
I took over 100 photos, so consider yourselves lucky!
It could have been so much longer.
We are going back in October!
I will try not to take to many photo's.

Here we are, our first trip to Moab!
Em and Drew being lazy at the Inn.
We had most of the basement of the Inn. 
Not the best decor, but very friendly,
and for the price we paid it was worth it!
Our little Inn had a family room off both of the bedrooms!
With a lot of kitchen stuff in it as well and yummy breakfast every morning!
Cory and I before getting on the raft. 
Rafting was so much fun that we came home 
and went to Cabella's and bought some kayak's .
Before I got to get in the raft, I was told, by my very protective husband,
"all you do is sit next to Abby and make sure she doesn't
fall in." He wouldn't even let me hold a paddle. 
Not having arms that work bites!
Ready, set and here we go. 
They don't look that ready do they?
Cory and Drew skipping rocks. 
It is seriously one of Cory's favorite things to do.
I like watching, much more fun, doesn't kill my arms!
Lucas learning to skip rocks. 
How could he miss with a stance like that?
Here are a few of us waiting for the rafting guys 
to come and get us. 
Fantastic photo of Drew, Em and I. 
Not quite sure what Emma is doing with her hip,
but we all enjoyed making fun of her for it! 
Shawn, Christi and their kids. 
Helmets off might have been a good idea.
I LOVE this picture of Cory. 
Yep, that is my man!
This photo says a lot about our family!
Abby actually is a beautiful little girl,
but with her Dad and Grandfather and uncles 
who teach her how to smile for photos 
we might never remember how pretty she was at this age.
Great shot of Drew! He's grown up so much this past year.
I look back at the wedding photo's and cannot believe it's the same kid!
Love this of Lucas, I think Emma took it.
She's really quite good.
For those of you who know Lucas, you know he has no butt!
I mean really none, whatsoever.
So while going to pose for this picture with his Dad
he was told to pull up his pants, 
and you can see he was pulling and posing all at the same time!
It was fantastic!
Scary looking group huh? 
You wouldn't want to pull up next to us.
Not for the reasons you would think,
 or maybe they are the reasons you would think.
(kind of the, oh wow, they don't look like they know
what in the heck they're doing!)
That's Abby under there, with her Daddy behind her.
Riding up was fun. Lucas was with Drew and Emma.
Abby with Shawn and Christi.
Then Cory and I had the smaller 4 wheeler and we did great!
One of the best vacations ever!
I took this picture of the group on one of the bridges!
So beautiful, the family looked ok too!
Cory acting like he's going to fall off, 
and of course you can see that he's not even close.
In his defense it looks so much closer and so much scarier!
Shawn took this shot of us so you can see
both Bridges, hence the name Gemini Bridges!
Emma jumped up on Drew's back and it was so cute!
Then Cory and I had to do it! Peer pressure.
Shawn, Christi and the kids on one of the cliffs of the Bridges.
You get a feel for how far down this is.
Here's the 4 of us at Gemini Bridges! 
It's about a 400 foot drop right under us,
( I know it doesn't look scary, but it was)
Really one of the most beautiful rides we've ever been on.
 An hour and a half to get up there, 
but totally worth it!

Here we all are holding up this massive rock!
(Abby and Lucas thought I was insane making them do this.)
Cory thinks he's so funny!
Sometimes he actually is.
You could take a thousand pictures of the Arches.
This shouldn't be one of them.
Here are Cory and I and Drew and Em 
in front of Balancing Rock.
After seeing Balancing Rock a few of us felt
compelled to do our own. Her is Shawn's.
This is Lucas making his Balancing rock. 
I swear a train could have been 6" behind him
going 100 mph and he wouldn't have even moved.
This kid can focus like no other!
Here is Cory' version, on Drew's head!
Em and Drew, I love it!
Cory trying hard to look like the rock behind him.
I'm not sure what to say, without getting in trouble.
Drew trying hard, and doing a very good job
of looking like this rock!
Here's my sweet hubby doing one of his mad skills
that make me love him so much!
Emma has a knack of getting fantastic shots of the kids.
Here's Abby looking like her Dad!
Here's her great shot of Lucas.
Emma's post card shot at Arches. 
This is her and the photo was her idea.
I just wish the people on the left were not in the shot.
It's still great and I love it!
