lazy days!!

one of tate's first smiles. and of course it was with papa steele.
i think he is obsessed! he won't go anywhere without some tools. but, hey, you never know when they might come in handy.

my little water baby! she loved jumping in huntingting resevoir up fairview canyon. the water was freezing. i don't think she even minded, do you?
kali adores her big brother joseph.
kali with her cousins shelby and kya. they loved the camping trip and spening time with each other.
(imagine an arnold schwarzennegger voice) look at my manly muscles! and lexi just ooohhhhing and aaahhhhing over them.
um, do you think this diaper makes me look fat?!

my other water baby, joe.
look at those good lookin' boys! i am so lucky.
joseph loves to fish. too bad none of them were biting. (probably due to the fact the the rest of the kis were swimming just down shore.) and sorry i forgot to flip this pic.
this is exactly what i wanted to do after the campout. i think that the more dirt they have on their faces, the more fun they had .

what a cute little pouter. carter has become very good at giving us attitude. it's a good thing he's cute and silly the rest of the time.

we had a great lazy summer. we didn't go too far. with all of jody's jobs and the new baby we just stuck close to home. but we had fun being lazy. ( my house can attest to the lazy part!!) too bad summer is over and school starts next monday. but we won't be lacking for things to do. cross country, soccer, dance, school, etc, etc. and don't forget the olympics. i think that we are slightly obsessed. but hey, it's only once every 4 years so we need to get our fill while we can.
