This was our wonderful trip to Torrey, Utah and Capitol Reef National Park at the end of June! We had a fabulous time! It was a wonderfully relaxing and extremely enjoyable vacation! We absolutely loved every minute! We had this huge pool and hot tub completely to ourselves most of the time and the hikes were beautiful especially the last one, which was all in the water (it was quite warm outside). In the pictures of Brady holding both kiddos, it's because Mommy thought she was going to pass out from heat exhaustion!!! It was very hot in the front of the mountain in the middle of the day, so Brady, ever my knight in shining armor, came and rescued me!!! Thanks honey!

Beanie's Last Day of School!
This is Beanie's Last Day of school and he had a fabulous time! First, they got to have a fun movie time, and then they had a water day where they played on the slip and slides and then they had water fights and all kinds of water games. Last, but not least, they had a fantastic bubble time to end it all! It was a super fun day, but the best part for Beanie was coming home and knowing that he had three whole months off! The best part for Mommy was knowing that I get to sleep in for those three months!!!! Yes!!! No alarm clocks, except on Sunday!!!
Beanie and Lucy Sleeping
I absolutely love this picture because this was Beanie's last day of school and because it just shows how much he adores his sister. He is so in love with her and always wanting to hold her and kiss her. They both love each other so much.
Beanie's Great Brain Report
This is going back in time, but I had to get this in! At the end of school, Beanie's class is required to do a "Great Brain Report". Beanie did his on "Bearded Dragons" since he just received his a few weeks before that. He did an awesome job!!! We were so proud of him. He presented his report so well and he glued all the pictures on the poster and wrote everything himself! He is doing great at school. His grades were great and his reading and spelling have dramatically improved. He excels at both subjects now!

Freddie!
This is Freddie! He is a Bearded Dragon and he is so cute and fun! He is a wonderful little lizard and sooooooo fun. He is really mellow and so chill. He amazingly smart. We got him a couple of months ago after we saw "Nim's Island", a super fun, family movie!
Introducing Hero Baby!!
This is our Hero Baby! We got him after Maka passed away and we are in love with him! He is so cute and sweet and grown to be so big!!! His temperament and personality is a lot like Chewy's (our first dog) and that is the greatest compliment we could ever pay a doggie! We are absolutely in love.

Lucy's First Dance Class!
Lucy was so excited for her first dance class! She was ecstatic! She couldn't wait to buy her ballet shoes (or for mommy to buy them at least) and put them on, along with her tap shoes! She grinned from ear to ear when she walked in and she wasn't scared at all! I was assuming she would want me to come in with her since I always came in with her for her "Little Gym Gymnastics" class. But, it was in a different room and she just walked right in! So cute!
New bathing suit!
Lucy was trying to distract the boys from the video games with her new bathing suit. It didn't work:)
Lucy at Little Gym
Lucy loves her little gym classes! She gets so excited to go to them and she loves her teachers.

Lucy the Workout Girl!
Lucy loves to work out with me and is always wanting to sit on top of the treadmill while I run. I will let her sit there while I walk, but not while I run. So, she will come and lay down on the bench and do her little "Lucy workouts". She loves to show me how strong she is and all of her little exercises that she can do, ones that she likes to make up! LOL! It is a blast to watch her!

Lucy reading to Maka
Lucy loved to play with Maka. She liked to hold her leash and walk around with her and Lucy would always stick up for her if Maka got in trouble. Lucy would like to sit in between Maka's front paws and play with her, read to her and dress her up. Maka was a perfect dog for a little girl, too. She was so patient and loved to give Lucy a lot of kisses and to lie by her.
Beautiful Makamai!
I haven't blogged in awhile because I knew I couldn't post any pictures until I gave Maka her eulogy and it has been too difficult to do so. Even now I can't help but cry when I look at all of these beautiful pictures of our gorgeous Shmiggy (Beanie's nickname for her).
Maka was the type of dog that only wanted to be with you every second of the day. She was not happy unless she was with you and she would wait anxiously for us to come home. When we would pull in the driveway, we would always see her beautiful brown eyes peering up at us over the windowsills with her ears raised up, hoping it was us.
She was an amazing backpacking/adventure dog. She went with Brady and Beanie on all of their backpacking trips and she always came with the family on any outdoor adventure. She was so graceful and amazingly agile that she would always get many compliments on any adventure she was on. She was always great at protecting and watching over her boy and she loved him so much. She was the best dog that any boy could ever have.
We miss her so much. When I look at these pictures I can't believe that she is gone. If there is a windowsill looking out of heaven I am sure that she is peering over it, waiting for us to come home to her. She will give us an amazing welcome when we do come home to see her. We like to think that her and Chewy are together playing and enjoying their time together until we see her again. We love you Maka. Thanks for all of the sweet and precious memories. We will always remember you, girl.
