Woman's retreat...

I went out to Seneca Lake for a Relief Society Woman's Retreat...With these 2 yahoos...

My friends Tina, Penny and I had a blast being stupid laughing our heads off...

Penny, Tina, and my friend Karen...
This was in the main building it was pretty cool and Pretty too

Our bunk house was actually the Men's haha
But we got to sleep with the Old ladies and got a bathroom..
.I guess besides the nudity and snoring it was a good place to be!

Trippy...all over Utah, and a little of New Mexico

Adam Took a short Trip down to New Mexico... Santa Fe was Beautiful...

Met Little, and I mean Little Baelie...Little 4lb babe
Visited with Grandma Bessie, she was Very happy we stopped by, she was all Hugs and Kisses! The kids had a fun short visit, and collected Tons of pine-cones!

Visited with Adam's baby his Truck...

Elisa and Quintens cute family!

Some Hot St.George Weather...

Missed these mountains A Lot!

We had some Seriously Early morning Banana eating!

Playing with the bunny at Uncle Mikes...

Saw Cousins Nathaniel and Caleb, and Grandpa Calvin, Uncle Mike and Aunt Kathy, Uncle Dennis and Natalie, Lacy too...

Phoebe had lots of stories to tell Grandpa Calvin! it was too cute!

..Getting Dinner ready Uncle Mike Style..
Adam and Uncle Dennis who somehow seems Not to age
This is how we roll....

Sometimes life is crazy...

Well, I had a Huge post typed up, and well you know I copied it and then forgot and then copied something else! Gone!

I will try to think of what I had written, but since the feeling is passed... Well you know

We have been in Cleveland since Sunday, the kids and I took my friend Penny down right after church, I taught the lesson in Relief Society, (woman's Sunday school) And Adam was at a different ward talking for his calling as Stake Sunday school president. We stopped in at Kirtland and then, went to a Very cool park called Prestons Hope...Probably the coolest park there is! Kids Loved it! And it was Huge! The next day we went to the Zoo, and saw cool Dinosaurs...But my favorite part was the Butterfly house...It was like being in a fairy tale!

But honestly I am Very much ready for fall...I am ready for schedules again! For squash, for pumpkins! I am excited to see what color the Mum in my yard is going to be, I had bought two very cheap mum's last fall and planted them and only one made it through the winter, so I can't wait to see if it is Orange or Red!
I am just loving this sweet "Chantel" weather, lovely breeze, good sleeping, no humidity, still sunny! Well these word are more rambled than the original.. but the point is the same...give or take...So anyway enjoy the pictures... (I didn't take a camera to Cleveland, I had my hands full as it was)

Silly Bandz Much? Seriously! Luke has a few too! Geez!

Luke and his NEW, Old, Super fast bike! We had to get him another bike since he literally wore the other ones tire bald and popped a hole in it! This new bike was $3, cheaper than trying to replace a tire! Hope it gets us through the rest of the year!

See that spider web in the tree, it was so pretty wish I had a better zoom lens, it was so cool! You should be able to click and make the image better to see it...

What a beauty! This one She is a Love

I don't know how he manages it but I think I could make a whole picture book of Luke and his funny sleeping positions! Actually that would be a fun idea! See his Cheese! haha

My Sweet Allie girl! I can't believe how big she is getting! Can you believe she will be 7 this year? Crazy!

Weekend fun....

Well we have had lots of fun hanging out with this guy lately! Seems Second year is a lot kinder to the Dr! We will take it! He has been reading books, laughing more, cutting the grass, taking us on trips! It has been great!We also went to the Palmyra Pageant this last Friday... of course it looked NOTHING like the picture below (from 2007) because it was RAINING the whole time!
Our van got stuck in the field and pushed out by some fast moving Saints...I got out of the van and next thing I knew there were 5 of us pushing! It was great! We saved a Frog from a certain death since he was hopping in the field were the cars drive, Luke was VERY sad to have to let his "Best friend Frog" go but alas we have killed enough wild animals by trying to take them in!
Pageant was really quite good although it Rained the whole time. Luke really liked the Boat... but even more than that, he liked the bathroom toilets! They were like camper toilets, and he thought it was too cool... I took him to the bathroom 3 times and only Once did he do anything...We spent the night at the Palmyra Inn, and then the next day hung out with Annette and Deloy. And I got to go see the New L.L.Bean store that they just opened in Rochester.

Mainely Maine...

You will get used to the Maine jokes about 2 days in Maine... Can't tell you how many stores we saw with Hokey names...Anyway, Luke is Anti-pictures these days, so this was his grudging photo...

The Foggy top of Cadillac Mountain as apposed to the previous posts Beautiful pictures... Glad I took them! I only got the one chance!
Love this picture... Luke was freezing!

My sweet family!

See Luke's funny face and running away... OY!

My little Hikers!

This reminds me of that one time at church... Yeah except that time it was Luke!
