J.D. and his cousin Katie at the Losee farm

J.D. at Grandma and Grandpa Losee's farm. This poor tree is the only one all of the kids climb on!

J.D. was so tired after getting all of his reports in...you know how it is

John, J.D., and Annie flying a gigantic kite they got from Grandma and Grandpa Losee for Easter

John, J.D., and Annie

Here is what's in our backyard. Isn't it awesome?!? Mountains, water, what more can you ask for?

Here we are at Utah Lake. This is the lake that is within walking distance of our house. Our house is actually on the opposite side of where this picture was taken. It's just as pretty on the other side.

Annie and J.D. on a boat dock

John is holding the 'bubble rod' and to get the idea of how big these bubbles are, look at the kids in the bottom right of the picture

Another one of the HUGE bubbles we've made

We decided to make cookies. The next few pics are of that disaster! Here Mikayla, J.D. and Annie are working on the dough. We made quite the mess as you'll see. For the record, the kids aren't to blame for it all...I was much worse than they were!
April 2009

Here is Mikayla, sort of stirring the cookie dough, mostly eating it!

J.D. and Annie

More of our cookie disaster...

J.D. is determined to do a good job! Notice the flour is not only all over his clothes but also his face...how does that happen?!? April 2009

Well, here are the final results. Luckily, we had lots of milk. April 2009

Ahh, they grow up so fast! (J.D.) April 2009

Our new family goal...trying to make the biggest bubble...this one was about 10ft long before it burst! late March, 2009

Annas, Brandon, Mikayla, and J.D. eating Brandon's birthday cake. March 7, 2009

Brandon on his 10th birthday. March 7, 2009

Annas and J.D. on our sidewalk, eating popcorn and waiting for something (we're still not sure what they were waiting to see).

I couldn't get the picture to come out clear, but this is the view off our back deck. The moon was full and reflecting off of the lake.

John and J.D., goofing around

Mikayla and Zack on Zack's 13th birthday. Yes, he's really 13.

Zack opening his birthday present.

We have a little tradition in our family. When I take pictures of the kids on their birthday, they have to show (with their fingers), how old they are. Well, Zack is 13 so he needed some extra fingers, which Mikayla provided!

We visited the Kennedy Space Museum while in Orlando.

One of the interesting things to see in Florida.

More sights in Orlando. This is a museum/fun house.

The view outside of our hotel room in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The ocean waves are right behind the grassy spot in the middle of the picture. We just so happened to be in Cocoa Beach the same time as Tropical Storm Fay. Ironically a couple of hours after we took this picture there was a tornado.

It's hard to tell but that's John in the middle of that picture. He decided to go body surfing in the middle of a tropical storm in Florida. The picture is foggy because the wind was blowing the sand so hard.

Mikayla at Ken's Lake, still our favorite place to be in the summer.

Annie, loving every minute..........

Zack went to a football camp in June at the University of Utah. He had a great time and decided he wants to play football in Jr. High this year. Very scary from a mom's perspective. He really enjoys playing so we are going to let him. Zack is the one on the far left in a red t-shirt.

Zack getting ready to go play.

What a good looking guy!

Zack taking a little break.

They were EXHAUSTED after all of the traveling and playing on our trip! As you can see they are piled on eachother like pancakes! Normally they would be fighting about having their own personal space!
