Boating...

We were able to go boating with Mark & his kids while they were here visiting from Nebraska.  

It was a fun day!

 Libby got up water skiing for the first time that day, it was awesome!

 Tyler loves knee boarding!

Zack loves swimming & the knee board!

Sophie went on the tube with me for the first time, but we can't find the pictures.  They must not of transferred to the computer :(

She was funny though, I kept asking if she was done & She wanted to keep going and going and going!

 AJ got up on the knee board & did some fun flips into the water!

Garrett was the first to try the knee board.  He was actually posing for the camera while he was up...it was pretty funny!

Jorie had fun swimming & tubing with Libby!

 The truth is...Kids enjoy swimming more than anything else!

Mark helped AJ & Ty get up on the knee board.

 It was a beautiful day!

We had a good captain...

And Co-Captain...

Sophie helped drive!

Even the adults got a turn...

The water was a little choppy, but skiing is always my favorite!

 Mark got up on one ski.

 Steve got up on the wakeboard.

 We ended the day with some more tubing...

 Libby & Jorie

We were going a little too fast for Zack & AJ!

 It was s fun day on the lake!

The only time Utah Lake looks really clean is when it's a splash of white water!!

On To Jr. High...

I can't believe Zack is done with Elementary School!

Sixth grade is in Jr. High now, I'm still not a fan of this idea, but I'm sure he'll do great!

It's hard to imagine I'll now have two kids in middle school!

Here is a look back at Zack's "first" days of Elementary school....

Kindergarten

Teacher:  Mrs. Littleford

First Grade

Teacher: Ms. Avery

Second Grade

Teacher: Mrs. Bronson

Third Grade

Teacher:  Mrs. Law

Fourth Grade

Fifth Grade

 I think Tyler is going to miss having you at school with him!

On to your next adventure...Jr. High!

Camp Tracy

Zack gets to attend two camps this year.

He had his first sleepover camp last Friday.  

He had a lot of fun!

I sure love this kid, he even left a note for Sophie on her little table before he left.

 It says, "See you on Saturday", Then he made her an origami animal.

It made her happy!  

Then when he got home I asked him if he bought anything at the store up there.  

He spent a dollar on supplies to make boondoggle.  Then he said there was a boy who didn't have any money so he gave him $3 dollars to spend.  I said, "That was nice, which friend didn't have any money?"  He said, "Oh, I didn't know him.  It was just a boy at the store who didn't bring money."

He is such a sweet kid!!

I'm so glad he had fun...

 He did archery.

 This was his first time shooting a rifle.

Camp Tracy is always so fun for the boys!

I'm not sure I'm ready for the Adventure of Scouting!  It's hard to let your kids grow up!

Zack and Libby had their piano recital last weekend...

 Zack played "Summer" from the movie frozen.

 Libby played, "Say Something" by Christina Aguilera, featuring A Great Big World.
