lake tahoe




We are so thankful we got to go on the best vacation with my family. My dad and mom took us to Lake Tahoe for a week. It was such an amazing trip. I love anytime my family gets to be together, but I especially love being together at one of the most beautiful places! Lake Tahoe is gorgeous. I highly recommend going there!

My parents, the DBrot's , the Sudan's and us were all on the same flight. The ogden's met us there from michigan! We had LOTs of luggage!

 The girls were SO excited to be flying and they did great!

 We stayed at some cabins and could walk down to a beach area. The water is so clear! It is unreal.
 Jason is such a sweet dad.
 the water is COLD! the kids didn't mind though!



 We went on a few all family hikes.

 We were quite the scene with six kids being carried as we hiked. Nothing slows us sudan's down!

 we went to the north shore and hung out at king's beach

 Barron :)
 my view while hiking....melt me!
 i could not handle how cute she was in her workout clothes!
 B is so great! She was always offering to help with the kids! She is such a great aunt and is going to be such a pro when she is a mom herself!




 classic...Jordan playing with Christy's hair (her favorite thing!)





 Jordan swam in the water!

 Burson was so great on the trip. He is such a sweet baby, so easy going.
 Sweet Corrie did so great too! She is such a little beauty!

angel fire

 A few weeks ago we went to Angel Fire, NM with Blake's dad and siblings. It was a really fun trip! We drove there and the kids did awesome! We stopped in Amarillo and ate at the Big Texan! It's a really neat place!
Burson loved hanging with his Aunt CC!
Burson also especially loved all his attention from his cousin sterling!
all the cousins with Bebe and PawPaw
We went to this neat place on a ranch for dinner. Emery Kate spent at least an hour trying to rope. It was awesome.


all my loves sleeping :)

we spent one afternoon in red river and the kids loved tubing down the ski slopes!



blake enjoyed fly fishing and even caught some rainbow trout!




we stopped by to see the guys!

The other day Emery Kate said, "You know mom, God gave you a good daughter." He did. He gave me two great daughters and a great son. I'm so blessed.

lately...


 Molly always wants to hold Burson. I love how he is almost as big as she is. 
 this face melts me

 I found these pics of Emery Kate when she was a baby and they look so much like Burson to me.

 I can't handle how cute Molly's hair is in a ponytail these days. 
 Can't believe he is 3 months old
 love this one in bubbles. so sad this is the last summer she can wear them.  The past week she tells me every day that I'm her friend. I love her.
 I got the exersaucer out for burson.
