The GRAND CANYON

Wow! What a sight, this was the first time for everyone in our family to see the Grand Canyon it was amazing. We drove my Dad's (Wayne's) motor home over and did some camping with Connie, Gavin, Megan, Warren, and baby Hunter. We camped, roasted marshmallow and the kids got very dirty. We rose early (not as early as I wanted) and drove to the grand canyon to see its morning glory and the sights.

Cabelas

Cabelas in Ariziona! If you haven't been please make the trip and don't forget the fudge Ummmm! Its food, fish, a zoo all at the same place and Brain says its better than Disneyland the rest of us disagree.

The Cousins

Montanna got to see her cousins this summer, Baby Hunter (Maegan's son), Gavin (Vanessa's son) and Jordan (2nd cousin Dan and Elisa Snow's son).

OMG Kaitlyn is 14

Wow, hard to believe we have a full teen in the house. She is about my size now, and very pretty. We know that she will be making great decisions and make us very proud of her. We celebrated by going to the waterpark and Daddy wore a "spiffy" outfit in her honor she was sp embarressed, it was great.

After the water park we came home for Ice cream cake made by yours truly, and gifts. She is getting very hard to buy for I think next year we will stick to gift cards. I just buy her what I would wear and she seems to like it but we will see if that stays them same or not.

Fun at the Beach!

Pismo for the day is always fun. Brian turned me and Montanna into mermaids and then we had an octupus making contest, Brian won only because he "cheated". Montanna couldn't resist the water so we all ended up a little wet. Hope you notice my super sexy husband doing his model pose on the beach, "Wow he is HOT!"

Yosemite Trip

We took the kids to Yosemite for the first time. We had a great time, we took a picnic lunch and scouted around, it is so beautiful and its so close so we finally took advantage of it and when we showed up we found it was FREE! Super cool, Kaitlyn and Zach were amazed by the scenery and Montanna loved seeing everything and running about it was a great day for the family.

Vacation Bible School

All three kids attended vacation bible school and loved it. Kaitlyn spent three days camping and boating with the Jr. High youth group she came back so excited and with a much stronger faith. Zach and Montanna had a ball, they learned about messages from Jesus and played a variety of sports during their days. Montanna even made her way to the stage for a demonstration, she loves being the center just like "Mommy and Daddy". They learned so much and Montanna will even recite scripture now, what a blessing.

Disney Land

The Bethels spent the day in Disneyland and had a ball. We told Zach that we were going to Grandma Sandra's, he didn't figure it out till we pulled into the parking lot. Kaitlyn was told she wasn't going to go, she slept most of the way so when she woke up she was pleasantly surprised she was joining us (she got in big trouble for the first time). We went on Snow White first, Pinocchio, Indiana Jones and all the rest, Montanna finally got in her most desired ride right before we left, she loved Dumbo. Many great memories were made for many years to come.

Spring Break

Me and the kids took a trip to Morro Bay to see Grandma Sandra. We did some shopping, visited a museum and of course went to the beach. Montanna flew her kite with the assistance of her big sister Kaitlyn, and Zach played catch with Grandma. When we returned we went to a pre-Easter gathering at the park. Easter was not too eventful, I came down with something horrible and spent Easter in bed.

Montanna turns 3

We celebrated Montanna's 3ird birthday with a Montanna University party. Mommy made all the decor, and had all the kids make play dough and other fun things. Montanna received way to many gifts as usually but the big gift was her new fully finished play house made by her Papa Joe. The play house is getting lots of use and she loves it.

Christmas!

Wow what a holiday. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We had a total of 27 people to share Christmas with. Lots of food, fun, singing, and a wonderful memorable moments to remember for a life time.

We joined the bloging world!!

New Years at the Desert

Fun in the sun and lots of ridding. Oh yeah and camping, we love to get dirty. Montanna is still in high hopes of getting her first motorcycle and durring this trip Zach blew his up. Kaitlyn and Zach are becommig quite the riders and well Brian is just trying to keep his off the ground, (ha ha ha).
