This little boy LOVES boat rides!

 Steve was always trying to catch the catfish that were along side the boat...

 Ashley, Donna, and Jen ... I love the action face shots!

 Cliff jumping was also one of my favorites! Brookwas the only one to jump from the highest part...I love cliff jumping, but the highest part was too high for me...I was a wuss!


And of course I LOVE wakeboarding!
My biggest jump of the weekend...you will notice it's just a baby one, but hey that's ok:)

Camping and Wedding Time...

We went camping outside of Lander, WY up by the lakes on the mountain...This year I got to be in charge of the Casey family reunion and here are a few of my activities I planned...

Camping Combat Challenge:

**Darren Casey happened to be the one I had all the pics of for each station, hence him being the model in all the pics!! :)

Station 1- lay on bench and wait for the wistle sound (imitating the firealarm going off)


Station 2- Go through the tunnel (this was imitating the tone going off in the middle of the night and firefighters being disorientated and having to make their way to the truck)

Station 3- Put on all the fire fighter turnout gear

Station 4- Roll up hose and place nicely on stump

Station 5-Bandage the hurt Cheerleader

Station 6- Run to blow out the fire (we had a lighter lit and they had to blow out the flame)

Then we called "Time" and wrote their time down. We all had a TON of fun!!!
I had a modified version of all the stations for all the kids. They LOVED it and were SOOO cute!
The winner was awarded a toy fire truck.

Everyone watching, cheering on the constantants, and waiting for their turn in the challange!!

Save the cheerleader!!


My second game was "The Longest Drive". Each adult had ONE chance to see how far into the lake they could hit the golfball with a six iron. The winner was awarded a kid toy set of golf clubs.

How every morning is started if Steve is by water...FISHING!!!

My sister Tami got married in Tensleep, Wy and it was SOO beautiful! I got to be a bridesmaid!
 I didn't get many pics:( I was too busy having fun!

Dancing with the bride...

Mike and Ashley know how to PARTY!

My Aunts and Uncles

We had TONS of fun camping and at the wedding!! So fun to see both families!!!
