Totally TUBE-ular . . .

We bought a new tube because we are going up to Bear Lake with the family next weekend, and our current tube really beats the crap out of you. So we decided to take the new one out for a trial run this morning! It was sooooo fun! We are excited now for waves! But I do have to say I have a new love . . . . sorry honey . . . but I LOVE wakeboarding. I caught a little bit of air today . . . now I just have to learn how to land it, he he he. Anyways, this is the new tube we got and for those of you headed up to Bear Lake with us . . . be prepared!

Girls will be girls!

We had the funnest "portrait party" on Saturday and we had my little princess and her cousin do pics together . . . aren't they the cutest ghetto superstars you have ever seen!?!?!?

On this episode of cribs . . .

Aren't these memories in the making! I always hear moms tell their kids, "oh and so and so used to climb right in the crib with you" . . . well this is such a true and tell-tell sign of the fun friends these little ladies will be! Princess crawls in with the baby and shows her toys and watches the mobile with her, so when I saw them both under the blankets I had to take a picture so instead of just telling baby how Princess used to crawl in the bed with her . . . I could show her!

Some Beach . . .

Well the Fourth was fun! I sure enjoy having a birthday near the fourth because we can usually get the family together and thanks to my sister in law for taking me to lunch and a movie! Lots of fun! We decided to go out on the lake early to get a good beach spot, so the girls, the hubby and I headed out at 7:30 am and we were glad we did. I bet the lake was full by 9 am. We experienced a lot of interesting things while on the beach (including a hispanic baptism of like 12 people) it was fun and not too hot.

Fourth of July Celebration!

I wanted to invite family and friends up for a Fourth of July celebration! Liberty Days is a very fun, small, down-home way to celebrate the day. We will probably get up and go to the breakfast and parade (9 am) and then hang out there for a minute with the greased pig chase and other country bumpkin stuff. Then we will head out on the boat and try to find a beach spot. Maybe have dinner on the beach or somewhere. And then head back to the park for the fireworks. So anywho . . . call me or email me if you want to come and we'll make it a party!

Grandpa Richards

My mom's biological father, Alden Ross Richards, passed away last week. It was nice to see all of our family again, it seems like it has been a long time since we have all hung out. He was a very accomplished man. If you want you can view his obituary by visiting http://www.legacy.com/DESERETNEWS/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=112365993
