The Sweet Spot.

Pure joy!

Kavella quite enjoyed herself in the water--she would blow bubbles (a.k.a. breathe in water) and wrestle with her cousins and play with her beach toys!

Look at that fire! What a perfect spot! Truly, the sweet spot!

Wakeham fam!

While on a boat ride, we discovered this cave, which was really neat! At first, everyone just jumped off the boat and swam into the cave, but later, Dave just drove the boat right into it! It was awesome!

One of the best moments of my life. I love when she snuggles, which she NEVER does when she's awake! Love.

Dave celebrated his birthday on the boat! Happy Birthday, Poppy! We love you!

Just Powell-in-Around......

Lake Powell, this year, was AH-MAZE-INGGHHHH! We had a perfect spot in a little cove, a jumping rock within swimming distance, perfect weather and tasty food. Seriously, it couldn't have been much nicer. Plus, Kavella LOVES spending time with her cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles!

Dance Party 2010, baby!

Dustin ripping.....

Jim tearin' it up....

Tan Man, makin' it happen....

Cassidy Marie, showin' em how it's done....

Yes, even yours truly caught some sweet air....

Deina showin' up her own kids....

It was a wicked night--besides being ridiculously HOT, I'm pretty sure Kavella was growing a few molars....you're welcome, Morrison family reunion...I'm sure you enjoyed all 4 hours of her screaming--starting at 3:00 a.m. Finally, Dustin took us all on a boat ride where we all (both) crashed in the middle of the lake!

Kavella started threatening diaper rash, so we let her air out for a bit, which she didn't seem to mind at all! Cute bunsies!

If you were just dying for more Powell pictures, then you're in luck! I have, like, 3 more posts dedicated solely to Lake Powell. Get ready.....

Eden's Birthday Party!

Okay, this isn't Eden's birthday party--it's Kavella's favorite riding toy at Granny and Poppy's house! What's interesting about this toy is that Eloise enlisted me to purchase it for her whilst I was visiting Oklahoma some years ago (and then fly back to California with it). She intended to let the grandkids use it and now Kavella DOES use it every time she goes to Granny and Poppy's!

This is the coolest, most hip community pool I've ever been to! It's in Washington County, which is near Hurricane. Dave and Eloise took all the grandkids for a jaunt in the pools/slides after we got back from Powell--it was really fun!

Now, the next picture is absurdly delicious. Let's just say that Dustin should NEVER have any doubts as to whether he is the father of Kavella or not....take a look:

Ahhhhhh haaa haaa! Isn't that snubbly!?! The picture on the left is of Dustin when he was a toddler!! Is that ridiculous or what? Cute!

Eden turned 2!! We had such a fun time at her birthday party, too! Eden is Kavella's best friend in the world--any time I mention Eden's name, Kavella gets super excited and wants to play with her! Best friends, best friends.

This business is only going to be appropriate until they're about 4...and then again when they're 16ish--according to society....what? Did I go too far? Ha, ha!

Merrick playin' some ball!

We are so blessed that Adam and Chante live so close to us--we sure love them and their little family!

Eatin' watermelon.

A pinata!!

I made pasta one night and Dustin and Kavella had a "Lady and the Tramp" moment.

Mother's Beach. Kinda small, but it's good for the kids because there isn't any shore-break. It's in a harbor. That is Dane Baltzer--one of Kavella's nursery friends!

I found this cute little boy sitting in Kavella's shopping cart. JK...I put him in there. Boochie, boo! :)

I seriously didn't pose this picture at all. This is how she enjoyed our six hour drive up to Utah--loungin' around, watching her ipod in her lap. Watching Olivia, to be more precise. What a life.
