Docs Orders

For me, lake Powell is my Happiest place on earth. This week we spent a much too short 3 days there. It was fabulous. My child slept like a rock, the weather couldn't have been better, the company was wonderful , and our beach was beautiful.

If someone were to ask me a favorite childhood memory. Lake Powell is probably the first 10 favorites that come to mind. I really want to intstill a love for this place into my children. I think Cash is catching my drift. He probably spent 6 hours of the day playing in the sand.

For the past 20 years "Docs Orders" has been our source of shelter. It may not be much on the eyes, but I will defend it to its death. I love that it looks a little rickety and white trash. I love that its meant to sleep 6 people, maybe 8, and we somehow managed to pack 20 plus bodies. This year is most likely the last year we will spent with the boat.. moving on to bigger and better things. I'll never forget all the fun memories created with Docs orders.

I want to remember every smell, touch, sound of every stage of this little man, and I'm so afraid some day I'm going to forget. These are some of the things that I really dont want to forget of Cash at 18 months.

How the majority of our summer of '10 was spent at the pool.

And that led to getting this picture on film..

How he can't walk past Mason's skate board without insisting he take a ride.

"Cash, where's your eyes?"

"Who loves Mom?"

How blonde his hair gets in the summer. And how that head smells at the end of a long summer day. (weird?)

- How I hear the word "Mum" about 100 times a day

-How the first half hour after Mason gets home at night consists of a laughing, screaming, wrestling match.

-Which leads him to thinking he can tackle and wrestle anybody. Including babies..we're working on that one.

-How the first two words he put together was "no way". More like "nowey".

-How he can't help but laugh when I'm laughing.

- How Macey Green calls him "Cashey Boy"

-How every morning when I get him out of bed he instantly lays his head on my shoulder for a few minutes before deciding he's awake for the day.
