A bit late... but Kee Nee Moo Sha July 2012

I have said it before and I will say it again... every year the KNMS vacation just keeps getting better. The boys love it more, it is more relaxing for Jeff and I. The waterslide and game room are still highlights of the week, as well as unlimited access to Lincoln and Jayna. More independence swimming this year was a big deal as well. They made me nervous, constantly wanting to be up to their necks in water.

Our cabin #4... after an unwanted ritual of me attempting to hunt down a mouse each and every night, this will no longer be our cabin next year, as I have determined it to be inadequately sealed to the outside world. We will be moving to Cabin 3 next July, which is just on the other side of Jon and Terri's cabin.

The two messiest eaters around, age 4 and age 9... apparently Grant's messy eating may not get much better in the next 5 years:)

Gma Jane and Gpa John always come and visit for a day ...

Joel made it (with his life jacket) all the way out to the big rock this year.

One of my favorite pictures of the cousins.

Just hangin' out

Fishing with Gpa

Most of the pictures here require very little explanation. The joy on the faces says it all. These kids love our annual trip to Kee Nee Moo Sha:)

And Finally... Christmas at Home:)

We had Christmas Eve/Day at home this year. It was fun to just relax, sit around in jammies all day and enjoy the day and each other without the hustle and bustle. We did church on Christmas Eve, so we truly just got up and leisurely enjoyed Christmas Day. Possibly our best family tripot shot yet?... I think so!!

Mitchell shopped online and surprised Jeff with this special Tom Brady memorabilia. Jeff loved it, as you can see by his genuine smile.:)

We surprised Mitchell with this sequence of pictures from an actual play from one of his 9th grade football games this fall.
