Summer

Here are some of the things we've been up to this summer. The photos start with our most recent camping trip to Strawberry Reservoir and boating at Deer Creek. Super fun trip with Brad's brother Robert's family. At the beginning of the month (for the 4th of July) we had Melany and Matt come in from New York for the weekend as well and Megan and Travis and their cute kids from Idaho. It was an extremely fun weekend and as always I wish their stay could have lasted longer.

She loves her hair in this one

Horrible face-paint jobs and a very tired Ethan
Waiting for fireworks to start--those glow in the dark sticks loose their charm with the flash of a camera.



Brooke taught herself how to ride a 2-wheeler...she wanted NO help
Ethan--the very mischief--note the pen markings on his legs and arm. He is almost always into something messy.

Yes, I'm now 32.

Yeah! Your family is so cute. So I thought I would put a memeroy of you. I do have many - others may not get this but you will...
Bath and Body works lime light, being little heffers, the elders taking a nap, scaring you in the kitchen, our sleep over at Valerie's(approved), stripping my hair of color(I was left with orange hair),Laurs and her friend :), the stuffed doll of Allen's, our tape - the Best of Friends and the train song form Dumbo. I did love those times with you and am grateful for them.
Love ya girl

Andrea said...

Lake trips are always so much fun. I wish Em would stop being so stubborn and ride a bike. She knows how. Adam had her rinding in June. But she rode for a few times and said never again. I guess she'll decide when the time is right to get back on and try some more. She's like this with everything, reading, math, piano. One of her many fun quirks I guess. Makes for a very frustrated Mom though. Anywhoo....I love seeing all the fun things you guys are up too and all the growing you kids do.
