A hiking we will go...

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all!

My dad, dallin, Jacob, Sharee ( who is not in this pic) and myself hiked down the mountain. Yeah we are super troupers.

We went hiking, okay we road the chair lift up the mountain. Once at the top, we did take a little hike. But I (natalie) hiked all the way down. Yeah, I'm pretty much a stud muffin.

Tahoe family picture.

The super troupers that made the arduous trek down the mountain.

Lake Tahoe or bust!

Fun at Lake Tahoe with the family.

Kyrie loves the water, and dove in head first twice. She doesn't realize yet that she doesn't know how to swim, just sink.

Little bathing beauties Daphne, Jemma, and Kyrie show off their smiles.

We are a happy family!

Just paddling around in the little yellow raft. Kyrie, once again tried to make a split for it, head first into the water.

Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters!

Taking a break from the hot summer sun for some cheetoh's, sippy cups, and shade.

We love Lake Tahoe!

Swim Lessons

Today was Kyrie and Elena's first swim lesson.

They did well for their first official swim lesson.

Kyrie and Elena enjoying a hard earned snack after some straining swim lessons.

Bathing Beauties!

Kyrie and Elena sittin out by the pool, catching some rays.

Sam, Elena, Kyrie and Nat, having some quality pool time.

Kyrie was done catching rays and tried to make a quick break for the pool.
She doesn't realize yet that she can't swim.

Kyrie loves the pool; her new nick name is the "little mermaid". Just the other day she spent over two hours in the pool and threw a major mermaid tantrum when we got her out.
"I'm 1 years old daddy, I'm not a child anymore!" -Little Mermaid (except for the age difference. 16 years old)

The devil went down to Georgia, again!

Vacation time in Georgia, Brian and Kyrie are chillin out in the pool!

She flies through the air with the greatest of ease! Kyrie and daddy having fun in the sun!

What up dog?

Brian and Brandon put tile in Uncle Ed and Aunt Esther's Sun room and it looks great.

Brandon and Brian also painted the dining room and it's another job well done!

Brian's out of school for another couple weeks and so we are enjoying some time off and together as a family. We'll be heading out to California soon for more fun!

Bunkers in Kentucky

On their way to Georgia the Bunker's came to visit us in Kentucky! Good times!

Elena and Kyrie playing in the backyard with the sprinkler.
Kyrie and Elena were splishin and a'splashin!

Bath time, more like party time!

The devil went down to Georgia!

Fun in the sun! Kyrie, me, and Sam, escaping the Georgia heat in the pool!

Hello, is anybody home?
Kyrie catching some rays. Thanks aunt melanie for the swim suit!

Here's a picture of cowgirl Kyrie Loween.


We had a great time in Georgia down with the Evans'. We spent time out in the pool. Kyrie loves the water! Kyrie got in some great daddy daughter time!

Thanks Uncle Ed, Aunt Esther, Cameron, Brooke, and Sam for the awesome 4th of July weekend! We love you guys!

Sweet Land of Liberty!

Independence day was spent in Georgia with Uncle Ed and Aunt Esther's family. We went to Stone Mountain to watch the awesome laser show and firworks. It was amazing! On the side of the mountain they have carved the generals of the civil war.
The gang playing make a million.

We had to get to Stone mountain early to save a spot for the fireworks show. Brooke, Sam, Kyrie and myself chilled out for a little under the umberella to escape the sun and have some girl time.

Kyrie and Daddy watching fireworks. Kyrie loved them!

Oh what a beautiful day!

Today was a beautiful day! 85 degrees with the sun shining!
This morning

Kyrie decided she wanted to help out in the kitchen so she pulled up the stepping stool and made her way over to the counter.

Uh-Oh she got caught!
We purchased our first lawn mower!

Kyrie was even excited about the lawn mower. She kept getting lost
in the jungle of grass.


Kyrie was just a big helper today, first it was in the kitchen, and now in the front yard.
She even helped dad put the lawn mower together!

Yeah, she's got special talents. I got to mow the front yard. Good times! It brought back

wonderful memories of Cougar Court apartments and mowing

that huge lawn!Brian mowed the back yard with Kyrie cheering him on

from the kitchen window.

Kyrie's room is almost complete. All it's lacking now is the chair rail molding to seperate the green and the pale yellow. I'm excited to have it completely finished!
