Camping in Kamas

Last weekend we went to my Grandpa's property for a little campout. It was so nice to be up in the mountains and relax. We had a wonderful time. Chris's friend Rich and his son Gatlan rode up on the Harley and joined us. What a great time!
I think this is so cute! I saw the kids' feet dangling and had to get a shot!

Richard was such a good helper. He got water for his Dad every time Chris asked. He is a really good kid!
I adore this photo of Hannah! It is one of my favs, even though I can't see her beautiful face.



Careful! Keep the water in the can.



It has been MANY years since I have fished the Beaver Creek , but we were all surprised to see Chris come back with a fish! Great job, honey!!!


Oh yeah!


Time for roasting marshmellows! The kids and I LOVE this part of camping!




Richard and I played frisbee on and off both days. He is getting pretty good, except here where he is throwing it far, far away from me. Ha, ha!


We had so much fun. Thank you to Grandpa and LeAnne for letting us use the property!

Just being silly...

I have a bear from Build-A-Bear and the kids were trying on his clothes. I can't believe Hannah got the underwear on and Richard got the shirt on, kind of. They are so funny.

A fun day with family

Brandon and Amber were in town with their cute girls, Elena and Eliza. So the kids and I spent the day and evening at Mom's helping with food, swimming, and hanging out with the family. It was a lot of fun. The kids were so exhausted!!! On the drive home, they were asleep by the time we got to the freeway. But it was a lot of fun!

It was so great to see family and friends that we haven't seen for a long time! Thanks to Mom for hosting the party and for all that helped with the food. And thanks to all those that came to celebrate and visit with family!
We wish Brandon the best of luck in medical school. Also to Amber, the best of luck with the rest of her pregnancy, birth, and raising 3 children while Brandon is studying. :) We love you guys!

Swimming and Fireworks!!!

Last night we got to go to Donette and Baron's home for dinner. It was so much fun. They had their pool up so we started off there. Hannah wasn't as interested, she fell asleep on the way and had a hard time waking up. But Richard and Brielle had a ball together!



Hannah loved the swing.
