Bear Lake and a Birthday

This weekend we went to Bear Lake with my family for a little 3 day vacation. It was really fun. It was Allie's first time swimming. She didn't love it at first but she got used to it. The water was still a little cold. Plus she looked so darn cute! Claire on the other hand loved every minute of it and she didn't want to come home! She didn't care if we were swimming at the lake or the pool, she wanted to be in the water. She got really excited when she saw the wave runners and immediately said, "Where's the kids' life jacket?" I only took a few pictures but my sister took lots more and I'll post them when I get them from her.

It was Allie's first birthday on Thursday - Happy Birthday Bugga! She is growing up so fast and we are so glad she joined our little family. She loved playing in the cake and actually ate most of it. We got her a little walk and ride toy to help get her motivated to be up on her feet, but she didn't fall for it! Her favorite present was a little Magna Doodle, just like her big sister's. We also did fireworks out on my mom's driveway but my camera died so those pictures are on my mom's camera. I'll try to get better at taking pictures!!!

I won't be at Bunco next week because I'll be at Bear Lake. I'm so excited! I haven't been since I was a kid.

I can't believe she is one! I swear you just had her! I think it was a year ago that I was asking your mom (while in Cedar City at a show) if you had your baby. Crazy!

Oh my gosh, your girls are so adorable. Lil' Allie looks like she was made for that little swimming suit.
As for Ben's red hair, yes I think it might be a bit strawberry blond. Sometimes it looks that way. Mine was too.
I've never been to Bear Lake but I was just telling my mom that we need to use her time share and go there as a family. It looks like so much fun. I would love to go and take the girls.
By the way, we're blessing Ben on Aug. 3rd at 9:00, you're invited, but don't feel obligated. We'll have all my family and some of Cal's family here. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Yes, it is quite past my bedtime, what about you? Writing your paper? I am trying to get camping pictures to upload into blogger so I can finish and go to sleep! By the way, your pictures of Bear Lake look very fun, and I think Allie is going to love her present!

How fun for your family to all be able to go to Bear Lake for a long weekend. It looks like it was nice and sunny weather. I too can't believe that Allie is already 1, time flies when the kids are all growing up so fast.

Allie is so stinking cute I can hardly stand it!! Bear Lake is great, I hope that we can make a trip there this summer. I've gone for as long as I can remember and love taking my boys there.
