Oktoberfest

Jeff, Justin, Emily, Savanah
Every year our family tries to make it to Oktoberfest at Snowbird. This year we decided to take a tram ride to the top of them mountain. It was a little scary (I think just for me!) but the view from the top was amazing. Jeff & Lisa (baby Ethan due in one month!!!)

I was seven months pregnant with Ethan so I avoided most swim suit pictures! I could bearly get a life jacket around my tummy, but still had fun riding the jet ski's with the kids.

Grandpa & Grandma Bills took the family to Deer Creek for a day of jet skiing. We had so much fun and the kids couldn't get enough of riding on the lake.

We took an incredible vacation this summer with my siblings. We all decided to rent a beach house that would fit all of our families for a great week in Carlsbad. Our house was across the street from the beach which we went to everyday! The kids had so much fun playing in the sand the the water and being with their cousins. We also spent a day in Lego Land and Sea World. It was such a great time being together and having a vacation with the family.

Growing Up!


Savanah has been dying to get her ear's pierced. We thought she should wait until she was eight years old, but in some weak moment in parenting, we gave in! Savanah was so brave about the whole think. We think she looks so cute with earrings.
