I went to my cousin, friend, and room-mate, Callie's  funeral. I got to visit with a lot of family, and remember all the fun stories about Callie.

Then, my baby turned 4, and my awesome friend, Melissa, took his pictures for me.

It was a bitter-sweet month for me

Summer - volume 3

We headed back up to Bear Lake for another week of fun with the Horspools! We started the trip off right with some RZR ridin'

And 4-wheelin'

We only let him drive on little jumps

Sam letting the girl take the wheel

They had their own Razors to ride.

RZR riding with my beautiful sis-in-law.

It was a thrilling ride with Taylor at the wheel! Seriously after my eyes popped out of my head they crossed!

We also had a blast on the water rocket!

Staci, the one in front, launched almost 5ft in the air! And, she gave her bro, Spencer, a bloody nose & a headache in the process.

We headed up to Bloomington for some rope swinging fun.

We waited for G-ma Kathy to come to go up to B lake, and when she got there the party really started! Because she brought up a GIANT box of cinnamon rolls!

We had to stop and get famous raspberry shakes on the was back to the cabin.

 G-pa Rick air-chairing,

 and Spencer, Staci, Brinley, and Amber all water skiing.

For the next leg of our journey - we played with more cousins:).

Then we headed up to the mountains for some camping and fishing. We pulled up to the campground and it was a rainy mess out. I was with Dave & Mandee in the minivan behind Rick, who had all the kids in his truck(that was hauling the trailer)  Rick stopped at a site and got out of the car to see if it was available when the trailer and truck started rolling backwards right into us in the van! We backed up while Rick dashed back to the truck, and luckily he made it back in and managed to slam the breaks, stopping the trailer which was inches away from a tree!

As soon as the rain stopped those boys were off exploring all the ples to climb.

Fishing with g-pa.

Everyone had to help make the campfire.

Then we roasted some hot dogs and went to bed.

The kids did all the tree climbing they could before the Hardies had to leave.

Summer - volume 1

We drove to Utah and got right to work stuffing our faces at Chuck-o-rama! Sams dinner consisted of Ice cream and soda.

Then we got to play with cousins at my cousins Jake's homecoming.

Then, we mosied on up to the cabin at Bear lake where we continued to stuff our faces with good food and play.

We crawled up mountains in the RZR, and made my eyes pop right out of my head a few times.

we enjoyed watching the kids get all sandy at the beach, then splashing around in the cooold lake water.

The kids loved taking off in that paddle boat.

the boyshad fun reading with Grandy & g-pa Jack.

We did plenty of bouncing around on the 4-wheelers.

Oh how I love these two little rascals! So cute and fun to play with!

Then on the boat...

Nate & Paul skied.

We all jumped inthe middle of the lake to cool off.

The 3 stooges went for RZR rides with their cool helmets.

More Beachin'

and don't forget the smore making.

We all LOVE riding on the Water Rocket!

Yes,that is my leg flopping over on my way down, and Mandee is falling the other way in the back while Nate is calm and collected in the middle.

The boys all hiked up to Bloomington lake to do the rope swing. Sam held on to Taylor's shoulders and did it!
