This year we had a BBQ and fireworks with the family at our house. I love having BBQ in the backyard during the summer. It's so nice to be outside, enjoying the nice weather.
Cam with his cousins playing video games. Not sure what these boys would do without it???
My adorable nephew Daniel. He's the happiest, friendliest kid ever!
The girls and Brayden jumping on the tramp.
All the kids starting the fireworks.
I really enjoy hiking and now that the kids are getting older, I would like to get them to enjoy it as much as I do. So a couple of weeks ago I decided to take them up to Cecret Lake.
It's a short hike, about 3.5 miles total. A lot of wild flowers, rocks, and a lake. The kids had a really good time. I brought a couple of their cousins with. It was great!
The kids thought it was crazy to see some snow up in the mountains. They pretended to be climbing Mount Everest. It was funny!
There were a few big Rocks on the trail. The kids had to climb all of them. 
My favorite part is seeing all the wild flowers. It's absolutely beautiful!
Izzy and Crystal wanted to hide in the flowers. You could just see their little heads poking out. I love it!!!
I had such a good time with the kids. They are growing up so fast!
It was a nice hot Sunday, perfect for a baseball game. 
Cam and Izzy enjoying a snowcone! I'm pretty sure they love the food more than the game :)
It was so hot all the kids were lining up to have the BEE throw some water on them. Cam was the first one.
Amos and I enjoying the game...and the snacks too, specially the liquid ones! :)
Amos' sister Amber is having a baby boy next month. I can't believe it's almost here already! It seems like we just found out she was pregnant...I'm sure to her it feels like an eternity.
Amos and Scott took the kids to go hit some balls. I went to the shower. It was the fastest shower I've ever been too!
Afterwards Amos and the kids came over. All the cousins played together and had a lot of fun.
Grandma Becky was brave enough to take all the grandkids to golf camp this year. I'm sure she was exhausted at the end of the week!
Cam and Izzy had such a great time. They've been wanting to golf like their dad for ages! They have tried it a little bit, but the camp was a perfect idea to get them ready for some rounds with dad.
All the grandkids. Quinton and Izzy are practicing their putting in the back. 
The boys getting some balls for class.
My little man hitting some balls! Isn't he so cute???
My little princess Izzy. She's so adorable...specially when in a good mood!
Thank you Grandma Becky for taking them. Cam and Izzy had a great time...Amos and I had a great break! lol
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.
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!
