DISNEYLAND
Well we just survived a whole week in Southern California with the whole family! Everyone got along great and the kids were good "most" of the time! One exception for Carter when he was crying so hard because he couldn't have his plastic snake that he had gotten, because he whipped Mya in the face, that he threw up all over the car, which was packed from front to back! Gotta love you Carty!
We had a great time going to Disneyland, California Adventure, Sea World, Universal Studios, the beach, and of course the Orange County Swap Meet! We loved spending time with the family, we hadn't all been together for over a year!
We all indulgded Mom and got a family picture taken with everybody! It was pretty embarrassing walking down to the hotel lobby and out by the pool with 15 people all dressed the same! And of course it had to be early morning and everyone was down at the breakfast area eating! Everyone was staring at us while we were trying to take the whole family picture and get all the kids to smile at once! It was a sight I'm sure!
The week flew by with all of our activities and I was super sad to have to leave! I can't believe how all the kids grow up so fast! We took Ashlyn on Splash Mountain and she thought it was so hilarious, especially because Aunt Katie got soaked and she proceeded to tell the ride lady that "Aunt Katie peed her pants". She couldn't get enough of it, I have to admit it was hilarious! Kessa loved the fact that Katie and "Gabin" got to ride with her in her car, and Aunt Katie could read her stories and play in the car. It was so cute she just kept saying "Katie read me story?!" I think we read all of her books more than once! I loved the time I got to spend with her! Ryker loved to tease Uncle Gavin! His little sense of humor was so cute, and he was brave enough to ride the Matterhorn with all of us! And of course we got introduced to "Chucky". I love it because I know someone else that had to carry their "blue blanky" everywhere they went too! I couldn't get enough of Carter telling me everywhere we went that there was "Mater" and his rope! So finally when we saw them in real life at California Adventure, I couldn't wait to show him! And his pirate outfit was the best ever! He came into our room all decked out, from his eye patch, to his hook over his hand, and don't forget the sword! Mya is just my sweet little chunk! She was such a good girl the entire trip! She just went along with everything and never made a peep! Even when her big brother whipped her with the snake, threw sand in her eyes and mouth, or tried to kick her from his car seat to hers! Watch out Carter for your pay back! :)
I loved the time we got to spend together and can't wait until the next big family trip!

Weekend Trip
So we braved another weekend at the lake! The 'girls' are starting to understand the whole boating process. Lindlee is especially fond of 'her' boat! She comes down the dock as fast as she can and we tell her to get into her boat and she jumps right in, even into the right boat! Luckily! She acts like she owns the whole place. She was just running around, going up to everyone and wanting them to pay attention to her. Mommy's shy one!
We tried the whole swimming thing again, but still didn't have very much luck! This time Gavin got clawed by Lindlee instead of me! Bentlee and Harlee are still my little swimmers. Bentlee is still worn out from this weekend and doesn't want to get out of bed in the morning! I had to pick her up and put her on the deck this morning to go outside! My little chunkers! 
I caught my first fish ever! It only had one eye and was missing it's fins on one side. So either it had been caught by a bunch of other people too or maybe it just was a 'special' fish! It was still exciting but 
I didn't touch it at all, I made Gavin do all the dirty work! We caught tons more but only kept 4. Gavin's dad caught the "Catch of the Day". It was a 25" rainbow, and he was a fat one! The Marina took a picture of it with Gavin's Mom and put it in the counter to show off. I still am not sure about the whole fishing thing though after watching Gavin gut the fish! Maybe next time I'll actually touch one! or NOT!
Anyways another fun weekend on the boat!

Our Maiden Voyage! We finally got time to take our new boat out for the season! We went to Strawberry Resevoir. We went with Gavin's parents and they had their boat also! The weather was way hot outside, but the water was only 67 degrees. When we first got there, the boat was running great but would not get up to speed so Gavin was trying to look at the pitch of the prop and FELL IN! It was dusk so it made it even colder! The girls were hilarious! They all tried the swimming thing! Lindlee was terrified and obviously can't swim, even with her life jacket on! Bentlee just sat and floated in hers and Harlee was my little swimmer and doggy paddled around! (Mommy's little princess!) Shocker out of all of them that it was Harlee though! We also went on a little hike up a stream and were able to see the fish spawning! We ended up having a GREAT first time out!
