4th of July

This year for the 4th of July we went camping with Amos' family down at Yuba Lake. It was sooo fun!

The kids love being with their cousins. Plus they can get dirty, there no chores, is just play time all day long! What kid wouldn't like that???

All the kids. Life jackets, sunblock, snacks, and drinks...they were set for the weekend.

Me attempting to wakeboard. One of these days I'll get really good!

Amos doing a much better job than me on the wakeboard.

Izzy and Cam were having so much fun jumping off the boat! Every time we stop for someone to wakeboard, they asked if they could jump out.

On Sunday it was rainy in the morning. We got all the kids to watch a movie in the trailer. I'm still not sure how we manage to keep them all quiet. We must have had a really good movie! :)

The other days we had perfect scorching hot weather. Just what we wanted.

MS Ride

It was sooo long, but a lot of fun! Amos came this year. He rode with Rusty and Cody. Trish and I tried to stay together. We rode 75 long miles on Saturday and 35 miles on Sunday. We will definitely do it again next year!

Father's Day

We had such a great Father's Day this year! Breakfast at Gil and Becky's house and the Zoo after that with the family.

Amos is such an amazing father. In Cam and Izzy's eyes he does everything bigger and better than everybody else. It's great to see their relationship and how much of a hero he is to them.

Tausha's Bridal Shower

Amos' little sister Tausha is getting married in October. A few weeks ago I went to her Bridal Shower.
We are very happy for her! Scott is a great guy! Perfect for Tausha!

One with Leslie, Amos' mom.



Can't wait for the wedding! It's going to be fun!

Bee's Game

It's finally warmed up enough for us to go to a Bee's game. The kids love going. It's a lot of fun.

New Kid

Cam decided he didn't want long hair anymore. It was kind of sad, but he looks really cute!

Here is his before picture:

Here is the after picture:

I'm still getting used to it.

Moab- Memorial Weekend

Once again this year we went to Moab for Memorial weekend. This year everybody took their kids. Izzy and Cam had a lot of fun playing with their cousins and friends.

As usual, there's so much to do in Moab. It's hard to fit everything we want to do.

It was very hot there this year. Last year we got rained on and the temperature was only in the 70's. This year, it was 95F on Friday! Super hot.

So, not really thinking, Amos, Cody, and I decided to go for a jog on Friday, while the kids rode their bikes. It was insanely hot! It's hard to run through rocks and sand...add the high temperature and you have a miserable run!

After our run we decided to go to town. Of course we had to go to the winery and brewery. That is always a fun part of the trip. The kids liked going into the shops and looking/ buying some of the local crafts.


On Saturday we went river rafting. And that turned out to be a disaster! Cam and Izzy both don't want to go again for a long time. Next year we may have to figure out something different to do.







On Sunday we rode Slick Rock...well I should say, Amos, Rusty, and Cody rode the trail. The other girls and I rode the practice loop. It was fun! After what had happened on Saturday I was really "chicken". I had to take slow. Amos and I both looked at each other and promised to do it without any injuries.



After our ride we went on a short hike. It was sooo busy! It took us to a little water fall. The kids had a lot of fun crossing the water creek. It was so hot that it did feel nice to get wet!







Overall it was a great trip! Can't wait until next year!
