Cousin Samara and Hallie (plus her new obsession-the bear) hanging out near the lake.
We rented a boat for the whole day, driver and all toys included. So fun!! Me, Dev, Kirston, Ryder, and Brelynn ready to hit the water.
This picture is too hilarious to pass up. We had a birthday cake for Tyge and Keegan kept getting caught shoving it in with his hands. So funny.
Devin and his sister Shawna. Devin was having the weirdest chest and back pains all day, so since I am not a good wife, his sister stepped in and gave him a back rub to ease the pain. What a good sister, thanks Shawna for taking care of him! :)
Hallie playing in the sand with her cousin Cole. She got so dirty, it was ridiculous. However, she had fun, and that is all that counts. That is her new crawl too, by the way. She walks on her feet like that with her hands on the floor more often that not. It's funny. Sorta monkey-ish?
The boat driver was determined to get EVERYONE up on the wakeboard, even though none of us had ever done it before. He was impressed with our perserverance! Everyone who tried did end up getting up. Here is Shawna looking profesh!
All of Devin's sisters, minus Kirston. I don't know where she was, probably on the boat? L to R: Mesha, Alisa, Shawna, and Jana. Gorgeous girls. I can't hold a candle to them. Funny story, though. When I first met Devin, he was living with Shawna the summer after we graduated from high school. She had their most recent family photos on the wall in her house and I remember looking at them thinking that they were the most perfect looking family. Hmmm, hopefully I didn't ruin that for them! 
I thought this was a cool picture. Two of the girls, Brelynn and Brooklyn playing in the water. 
All of the grandkids posing with their sign for Grandma and Grandpa, who couldn't be there of course, due to the fact that they are on a mission in Russia. Hallie, Samara, Katelyn, Brooklyn, Brelynn, Trey, Kayden, Tyge holding Megan, Tade, Cole, Jonathan, Trex, Keegan, Sean, and Ryder. 
Devin was in charge of an FHE activity that night. He taught a lesson on "Letting it Go" that was in the Friend recently. So then we each got our own balloon and wrote things that we had been holding grudges about. We all then let our balloons go at the same time to let those things go. It was fun and the kids loved it.
Of course you want to see these extra special videos. This first one is me getting up on the wakeboard. I actually did it on the first time, which surprised me hugely. I have waterskiied all my life, so I thought the transition would be harder. You can see though that I am so shocked that I actually got up that I am like "What do I do now!?" which causes my early demise. Funny.

This is Jana. She was so persistant...it took her a few tries to get up and she was getting so frustrated with herself, so she finally yelled for the boat driver to put some Taylor Swift on and the next thing we knew, she was up and going! It was hilarious. Had we known that was the magic pill, we would have done it earlier! Since her husband Karl wasn't there, he can see how awesome she did.

I love the video of you wakeboarding. Of course you got up on the first try. You're good at water sports! Me, not so much. It looks like you guys had a blast. Our family should do that next year!
