It's tradition

Every summer since I was about 10 years old me and my family have gone to Lake Powell. I don't think that I have ever missed a summer without going since then...even when I was 8 months pregnant with Talan. It is and always has been one of my very favorite places to go and now it's one of my kids favorite places to go as well. It really has become a tradition for us. So, even though we had a crazy week last week, with a trip to California, followed by the passing and beautiful funeral of my sweet grandma and then girls camp, we just couldn't pass up the chance to go. I knew if we did I would regret it. I'm SO glad we went even though it was only for 2 days and 2 nights it was well worth it!! And needed on this end....until next year....
Here's me and the kids minus Chase enjoying the water...That's right Chase still has a love/hate relationship with the camera!

However, even though he hates having his picture taken I still managed to sneak one or two pics of my sweet Chasers.

Taylor, Chase, and Holden on the tube. If you look closely at the picture you can see that Taylor is telling us to slow down and Chase is telling us to speed up! I love seeing the different personalities in my kids come out.

Cliffjumping anyone?


Cort and baby Kayson. There are still times after 8 years of marriage, when I look at Cort and my heart skips a beat. I feel so lucky that he's mine.

Talan hanging out on the boat under the tube.

We decided on this trip that Chasers new name now is Chasey Wayne "Speedy" Welker. He really had a need for speed! Here he is with his cousin Holden and Aunt Kaykey taking a turn on the waverunner.
