Hayden is in the flip club!


This is Chad Lowe- the pro that trained us!  
Hayden doing the "shifty" (a jump that throws the underneath side of the board toward the boat).  

This picture shows Hayden doing a "toe-side back roll"!

Michael, Hayden and I spent the last 2 days at Moses Lake in Washington at a wakeboarding clinic.  As I sit here writing this post, I have a splitting headache and every muscle in my body is screaming!  I have both a chiropractic appointment and a massage scheduled this morning.  I'm not sure how momma is going to keep up, but Michael and Hayden are quite a show.  Hayden landed a new trick (special fancy backflip) and Michael is doing pretty fancy tricks as well.  Check out the pictures!

Lacie is home!

Bella is in charge! 

We love Lacie!

Brittan with cousin Maisy and their doggies!  

Our dog Lacie stayed with her brother Bear (and my girlfriend Katie) while we were in Mexico.   She was very naughty and almost landed herself in a Husky shelter!  She was digging holes, escaping- and getting into as much trouble as she could muster!  When Katie was at her whits end, she put both dogs in a boot camp down on Sauvie Island (Sauvie Island Kennel).  I can't believe what they learned!  She is a completely different dog!  They trained her with an electric collar and a choke chain-  I can't believe how great she is!  I can take her on a run "off leash" and she will stay right by me the entire time! She even listens to the kids.  It is so fun to watch Isabelle boss her around and to see her obey. It's a miracle!!!
