Spring Break, Part 3

My last batch of pictures from our week…

This mondo pogo stick was a fought after toy.  That is until it broke! :)

I had a chance to photograph the Simonson kiddos. Cute kids!

Love this boy!  Little impy 2 year old! 

Their oh for adorable baby!


Who just started grinning. :)

Beautiful family!

Always some form of work to be done on vacation.

Desert  flowers.

Apparently this is how my boys swing.


The slides at the park were made into part of the frisbee golf course.



More flowers...



Collin was having a rough morning!

Katelin and baby Keaton.

Hey there Aila!

The kitchen was a constant bustle!

Keaton on camera posing duty.




Work out videos with Auntie Dana and Tiffany.



Preparing dinner.

Hey handsome, what's cooking?


More frisbee golf.

I guess Garrett thought I was one of the targets.

Check out Katelin in these 2 shots.  Top one she's preparing to throw, bottom one she threw and nearly tagged Dawson in the head. :)  Love her expressions!



Trikes are a common scene at Grandma's.

A few of us hiked up Black Mountain.



The hike is very steep! 

Almost to the top.



The kids that came with Connie and I.

Connie and her girls.

Three of my boys and I.

Whoa Parker, quit teetering on the edge!!

Writing on the black rocks at the top.

Garrett balancing on the highest point. :)

Colorful rock.

Cactus flower.

View from halfway down.

Almost down.

Love these! 

The line for bump.

A common site during our week. (bump)

Clarke couldn't play, but would sneak in every once in a while and try make a basket.






                            One evening we left the children at home and went and ate at Oregano's.

Dad and Mom.  <3


Liz and Timo

Mom and Caroline.

Tiffs and Jake.

Uh ok Dana!  I guess you would call that a maternity pose. :)  Goofball!

Lovely sisters!

Us.

Good times!

Smiley baby.

:)

Was so fun to see Connie and Steve for a few days!


What's that?!

The end.

Spring Break, Part 2

Our week continues…

Sunday morning prep.

We had a fun day at Robby and Caroline's!  Barbecued for lunch, then swam the day away.



Watching Dad's technique.

I think there were a few hungry kids! 

Kids sure had fun splashing the day away.







Not sure if swimming is what he wants?! ;)

Watch out Costin, trouble is about to get you!



Someone enjoyed their ice-cream to the max!










Back at Mom and Dad's.

Maternity shoot. jk :)

Evening shadows.

Visiting on the front patio.

Pizza for dinner.



Love these blossoms!

Mom provided us with some entertainment. :)

Frisbee golf with Uncle Jake.  


Selecting their next target.

A walk with the family in the dessert.

Here come the masses.





Such a beautiful time of day!  

A Jumping Choya (sp?).  Those cactus parts that jump seem quite hazardous! Hate to run into one of those.

Walking the loop.

Sunset.



These were about the only flowers in bloom while we were there.

And now they were headed back.  Don't they look cute?  All walking in a line following the leader!

One more post to come. :)
