Video of rocket launch

Parker's Birthday Bash

Here the front of Parker's b-day invite
We started out the party with taking pics of them as astronauts.
Then on to making their own bottle rockets and watching real astronauts lauch into space on a little video Daryl put together.




On to launching the rockets...

Parker had so much fun with all his friends. Thanks Shelley and Mom for coming up and picking up the cake! It was a busy day and I think I done with friend birthday at least for a few years. But it was really fun to watch how excited he was for the whole party along with launching the rockets with all his friends.

I can't believe he is almost 5

So Parker and I had a little date/ birthday photo shoot. When I told Parker that he was going to go on a date with me he said "That's twisted". I suprised him with the bateman cape and then we were off to Union Station to take some pictures. We ended our date with some ice cream- perfect way to end any date. So funny thing on the way to Union Station Parker asked if he could watch his show and I said no, because we talk when we go on dates. On the way back he looks and me and says-"No more talking- okay " and then proceeds to watch his show. He is already a typical man!



Even superheros have to take breaks sometime.

Balloon Festival

So we camped up at Anderson Cove on Thursday night and woke up early to see the balloon launch. The kids really liked it but after ten minutes they were done(such are kids and their attention spans!). Camping was fun but with only staying two nights and having a photo shoot each night it made for a fast and busy trip. The kids made friends with our camping neighbors and had a good time riding bikes, finding pine cones, and swimming in the lake.

Family Pictures by the Fabulous Angie Monson!

Words cannot describe how much these pictures mean to me. Angie, captured our family so well! Thank you so much Angie for taking these!

Bear Lake Chatterley Family Reunion!

All the girls working it on the beach!
All the cousins enjoying the Rasberry Days Parade.

Angie jumping in with all her clothes on- crazy girl!


Emma enjoying the rodeo in her ladybug boots- wish I had taken my nice camera to the rodeo:(
Picture of the boys rafting trip- they had a day trip to Star Valley on the Snake River.

Bella enjoying the parade and the view from Daddy's shoulders.
Bella-loving having Tanner hold her. Tanner was the family babysitter for the week. I think he was ready to go home by the end of the week.
Meet the cousin gang Parker, Cayden, and Cade- I love this picture, they are working it!
Water balloon launching was a favorite of the older cousins. I don't think our neighbors loved it as much seeing as we almost hit them a few times.

Picture just to show Anthony how he might of hurt his back just a little bit more:)

We had so much fun with all the cousins and my brothers and sisters. These pictures are all out of order but anyhow we got to go to the Lake, Rodeo, Rasberries Day parade and hiking up to a small lake and swing on the rope swing. The kids loved the indoor pool. We also got to go on bike rides around town. It was so much fun, can't wait until next time.
