Bear Lake 2011

July 19th Tuesday
DAY ONE


Our annual Kierstead family Bear Lake picture. 


My awesome kiddos!! 

We spent the first day (afternoon, really) at the cabin. What a gorgeous place! I will definitely not go back to "tenting it" at Bear Lake. While me and my sisters made dinner some of the guys took the kids down to the pool to swim. 


This picture makes me laugh every time, and it shouldn't. Leslie just burned her elbow on the pot behind her. I guess that's what we get for trying to do a picture by the stove when we're making dinner. :)


Me, Leslie, Tracy
That's better. 


Erin. 'Nuff said. :)


Oh ya, it was also my 30th birthday!!! What a great way to spend my birthday.

DAY THREE

A group went on a hike and the rest of us played at the cabin. We played games inside, outside and later we all spent time at the pool. Fun, relaxing day!


Cousins playing a game with Aunt Leslie. 


Corbin, Taylor, Lexi, Aunt Leslie, Morgan, Marley, Livi, and Rylee. 


Our cabin/house. This was the best place!!!


Playing the fruit basket game out on our lawn. 


The pool was a huge hit!! So much fun... except the moment when Corbin was drowning, not so much fun. But the rest of the time we had a blast!!

Haylee had fun jumping into the pool with me catching her. Her and Emma took turns. I was really surprised at how much Emma loved it. 


Angie throwing Emma in.

After I saved Corbin. He was fine shortly afterwards. 



Emma jumping to me. 




Marley jumping. Remember four years ago when this girl would scream cause she didn't want to get into the water? I'm sure glad that has changed!


Jaxon, Tyler, Corbin, Taylor





What a blast we had!!!! I can't wait to go back next year and I know the rest of my little (and big) family agrees!!!! WE LOVE BEAR LAKE!!!!

Tackle football

July 16, 2011

I will admit, I wasn't not overly excited to have Corbin play tackle football. But I will also be the first to admit how wrong I was to think that he wasn't ready. He picked up his pads this day and look how excited he is! At this point I was still a little nervous, but future posts/stories/pictures will prove me wrong. :)






My baby!!! *sniff* :)
