On Saturday after I rode with a friend from Burley to the Pomerelle Ski Resort (64 miles), we had a great time with family skiing on the Snake River. It's great for us that my brother Travis owns a boat and is nice enough to threaten me with my life if I don't enjoy it with him.
Ayden getting ready to get on the boat.
Jenni doing her pre-game stretches.
Alex enjoying her place on the boat.
Ayden is always ecstatic when on Uncle Travis' boat.
Ayden's laugh and smile is such a great thing.
The little boy next to Alex is my nephew Mason. He was really good watching out for his little cousins and making sure they were safe.
My niece Sydney and one of Ayden's favorite cousins. She gets pretty excited to see her which is really good because most of her cousins live so far away.
Jenni got a lot of playing time on the river this year and was the toughest person out there. She rode the tube the longest and never fell off. I rode with her for a while, got thrown 3 times, the last time I got throw I was just too tired. She continued for another 15 minutes with my niece Kaybrie who also got thrown a few times. Jenni never fell off the tube. It's amazing what you can do when you are afraid of the water.
After tubing, Jenni wasn't through. She decided to try wake boarding (last time she tried was 5 years ago) She got up on her very first try and did really well including catching some sick air (8 inches of air but air none the less). Before too long I'll have her throwing back flips with me. I love the above picture because you can actually see how excited the girls were to see their mom get up on the wake board. They were so proud of their tough mom.
I just re-watched this video and caught a few things. Watch closely at Ayden tormenting her little sister. I noticed that she was either pinching or biting Alex on the arm. I remember being confused as to why Alex was crying, now I know. That girl is too much of a tease. I keep reminding Ayden that Alex is only 4 pounds lighter and someday she is going to be able to retaliate so she better start being nice.

Good job jenni! I'm sure the girls had the time of their lives out there on the boat!
Looks like soo much fun! Matt and I used to do that when we were dating, but it's been YEARS since I went water skiing. Makes me want to go again someday!
JENNI! It's so fun to see you and your cute family. (Your girls look just like you!) I saw your site on DeDe's blog...I guess we can thank her!
Our neice lives in Meridian with her 2 boys, so maybe we'll be up there sometime.
I had trouble trying to concentrate on watching Jenni because I also wanted to watch Ayden and Alex! So I had to watch twice. Was that Jeeni's first time wakeboarding? Amazing. Maybe we need to meet together in Burley next time!
