Band Camp

 Over the summer A and her cousin did a band camp instead of ocean institute for grandma camp. The name the group camp up with was Frain Bart. I'm sure theres a good explanation for the name but what do you expect from a bunch of pre teens.

 After a week of rehearsals they put on a great show!

 Have you ever seen a flute in a band? 

 It was really well done and they had a blast with it.

Messing Around

 Just out for a bike ride with my boys.

 E has discovered the escalator.

I think he went up and down at least 7 times! Such a good dad to indulge him.

Beach Days

 Just another wonderful day at the beach. 

We found some friends who let us share their bike.

 Searching and finding all types of treasures.

The best part of the beach for Miss D was swinging with grandpa!

Scout Camp for B

 B is a big fan of scout camp and so am I. Although one day is enough I really enjoy going and seeing what he gets to do.

He has so much fun and an added bonus is he learns a lot and gets things passed off!

Summer Cabin Trip

 Another summer at the cabin another 2 night overnighter backpacking trip. This time Big B and C met up with them for the second night. Lots of bug bites this time around!

 E kept very busy with all the rocks at the river. What more could a 1 year old ask for?!

 The whole family together! We are very lucky that this actually happens usually more then once a year but it's always more fun if it happens at the cabin.

 The best part of a small town parade is the candy.

 Getting ready for the 4th of July rodeo in Oakley. Gotta start with riding your own bull before watching the pros.

 C getting ready to ride a sheep.

Showing off the war wounds. Doesn't bother them! They'll be back next year to do it again. It's in their blood!

 E cooling off by way of the fire trucks hose.

 Watching the professional rodeo and loving it.

All good things come to an end. Back home we go.

I Love to See the Temple

 A got to go to the temple for the first time! So proud of who she is becoming.

She even finds her own names to take. She really does amaze me!

Beach Day!!

 This kid already thinks he's big enough to catch some waves. 

 These girls were the brave ones who put star fish on their faces.

 They found so many! I've never seen them like this before.

 Everyone got a kick out of them.

So cool!
