They reached the top, and then sat down for a rest! haha

I snapped this picture of Stephen, while the boys were climbing their "mountain".

This was toward the end of our hike. We went about 8 miles or so, this first day. By this point the boys were worn out and we carried them most of the way back to camp....then the boys took good, long, naps....all 3 of them! haha

Stephen and the boys at the "scenic lookout". Levi is looking at me with his "nockulars".

The boys and I at the "scenic lookout".

We were taking pictures of each other with the boys, then a man and his wife walked up and he offered to take a picture of all of us together.

This is the part of the canyon that we looked at from our camper door. We climbed to the very tip top of that highest peak! It was only about a 1 mile total trip, but it was mostly "up". Talk about FUN!!! :)

Here is a "zoomed in" view of our camper, from where we climbed to the top of the canyon.

Here is the view of our camper, from the top of the canyon. Wow! Talk about a long way down there!

I set the timer on our camera, and took a picture of all of us, together, on top of the canyon. We climbed straight up this thing! Even used a rope at one point to get up/down the side of some extremely tall rocks, with the boys! It was so amazing!!!!

Daddy and the boys on top of the canyon! Isn't it beautiful up here?

The boys found some rocks on top of the canyon that marked white like chaulk, so they were coloring.

Here is Levi in his new shirt and tie. He found a tie in his brothers room, from last christmas and had wore it all day, the day before this. Levi said he was "working at the church, like Papa". Stephen asked him what he does at the church and Levi said "I don't know". Then Seth piped up and said he worked at the "cookie church", and I asked him what you do at the cookie church and he said, "um, make cookies!" haha They are so funny! I LOVE this Age!!! :)

Later that day, Levi asked me if I would buy him a longer tie, but when I went out to buy groceries, I forgot. So his Daddy stopped at the store on his way home (Thanksgiving morning) and bought Levi and Seth both shirts/ties. They looked so handsome! They wore them all day for Thanksgiving, and thought they were big stuff! :)

Levi knows he looks "cool". :)

Seth posing for the camera....crazy kid!

Seth, being silly! (By the way, he picked out his own "pants"....)

Me, hugging my boys....and telling them thank you for letting Daddy take our picture.

We took the boys to Bass Pro, they loved it. Here they are standing beside a huge bear!

The boys and I are watching the huge fish!

Daddy took the boys outside to play some baseball. They were having so much fun, I couldn't resist taking some pictures.

Levi was hitting the ball to Daddy and Seth

Seth was trying to catch the ball after Levi hit it.

Toby was relaxing with his blankey, and watching the boys play baseball.

Seth discovered the camera..... :)

They decided to give Daddy a turn too!

The boys helped me put up our Christmas Tree tonight. I got tired of Levi begging to go buy a tree! haha So we got the stuff down, and started decorating.

The boys helping decorate the tree.

Levi took this picture of me and Seth.

Thank You Aunt Michelle

Aunt Michelle gave me a CD with lots of Really Great Pictures on it! I put a few on here...I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. It was really nice to look back at all of the pictures, and remember what a Great Summer we had this year.

We are all standing outside of the floating villa we went to in September. We all had so much fun! The boys definitely did not want to leave.

Here I am, freezing!

Levi really gets into his fishing! :)

Here is Levi, with his very First Fish! Can you tell by the look on his face that he was EXCITED! You can barely see the fish, there by the pole..Stephen was holding it up. Seth isn't taking his eyes off of it! haha They thought this was so cool! The water was so clear, they could actually see the fish swim up and bite their bait.

I don't know what Papa was telling him about, but Levi sure looks like he is thinking hard....or else he hit is head on something! Who Knows!

We are helping the boys fish, off of the dock, there at the floating villa.

Here is a picture of us, when we went to this really cool tower, there at the lake.

Seth, ready for Breakfast!

Levi, upstairs, in the loft of the main room. There were 4 queen size beds up there!

Mommy is still cooking, and Seth is in his seat, ready to eat! haha

Granny and Aunt Michelle came down and watched the boys, while Stephen and I finished our cabinet job for our friends new business.....You can tell from these pictures that the boys had a lot of fun, and didn't miss us a bit!

Close-up of Seth! Isn't he a cutie!

Here is Seth's serious "boxing" pose. Isn't he mean looking with his "super man" blankie tied on. haha :)

Levi with his "boxer" pose. They were ready to "fight". Boys will be boys!

Everyone said "Where are pictures of the birthday girl?" Aunt Michelle actually got a few! Yea!

Here was one of me helping Levi tuck his new shirt in. :)

Here is another one....ok, so it is of my back...but see, I was there! :) haha

Stephen and I, skiing together. It was a lot of fun. He was cracking jokes the whole time, and trying to get me to jump and pick up one foot, etc. He is Crazy! But that is one of the many things I love about him.

Here he is chasing me outside the wake...trying to run me over! haha

Me and my Handsome Hubby! :)

Long Time.....

Ok, I know it has been a long time since my last post. I have just been SO BUSY! My Pampered Chef business has been going so great, that I just haven't had much time to update lately. I did want to let everyone know that I now have my personal website set up. It is www.pamperedchef.biz/kandy You can log on and shop 24/7, plus Pampered Chef just added an Outlet that you can only order from, through my website. Check it out and let me know what you think! :)

Oh and we have an appointment to have our "Family Portraits" made at a Professional Photography Studio on Monday at 10am! Say a prayer that the boys will be in a good mood, and that the pictures will turn out good. This was the main thing that I wanted, for our 10th wedding anniversary this summer. But time never allowed us to actually get it done...and by the time we could, I was in major need of getting my hair done. So Finally the Day has Arrived!!! :) Yea!!! I will let ya'll know how it goes.

Love to you all,

Kandy

Ok, here are the boys pictures that we had made at a Professional Studio. Mom helped me pick these out, they were all so cute, it was really hard to choose. Sorry it has taken me so long to get these on here. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we do. :) Leave me a post, and let me know what you think.

We loved this picture! Seth has the look of "you better not mess with us Cowboys!" haha :)

Levi in the Saddle. Isn't this an adorable picture!

Seth in the Saddle. Yee-Haw, Cowboy!
