Flying High

So...these RC planes have become a MAJOR obsessed hobby of our boys! Not to mention a lot of money. Bryce and Cole love flying with our good friend Doug Webb. Any chance these boys get they go.  Bryce and Cole are really good at it. These boys have contests, flips and all sorts of tricks for us to watch. It is really entertaining for the whole family. I love to watch Bryce and Cole put the planes together...but after a while I would like our dining room table back! :)

When CHAD comes to TOWN...

 My brother Chad. Our kids know Chad really well... Chad lived with us for 3 1/2 years, when Cole was a baby, a toddler, and when the twins were a year old. Every single child prays for Chad, misses Chad, talks of Chad and sometimes cries that he is so far away. (the children don't understand that he has moved on to a different stage in life) We all have been spoiled having him around. So, I could not just post one child with Uncle Chad. It had to be all.

Best buddies

We just understand each other. I don't know...We are a lot alike.

Celebrating our Freedom. HaPpY 4th of JuLy!

 Celebrating our fourth with a bbq and a special guest...playing the bag pipes for us. Bryce surprised us in  hiring this guy named Lewis to come and play some patriotic songs. It was awesome! We celebrated with our friends, Jess and Scott Thompson, Nate and Tristen Richins, Connie and Doug Webb and our neighbors Mark and Shawn Rocco ( showed up for the show).

 The children loved the bag pipes

 One last song for the night.

 Our beautiful mountain on fire. No fireworks for us this year! It was prohibited.

 Someone broke the law and lit some off! Shame on you!! Even though we enjoyed the show.

I love this picture. The kids were checking out our special guest...like what the heck?

Lazy Summer Days

  Meryn, Azure, Aladya and our sweet little neighbor Jane. These 4 little girls were playing so cute. The sun was going down and you can hear their laughter from inside. Bryce told me to go get a picture and I'm so grateful I did! Our kids  love summer days where you can sleep in, stay up late, have late nights, ride your bike to the store or the soda machine, SWIM all day in the pool, night games, spontaneous weekend travels, passes to 7 peaks and Trafalga, trips to SLC to see daddy for lunch and yummy BBQ's. Such a fun summer we had! Loved it!

Beautiful Sunset! Goodbye to this beautiful place, We had a fabulous time. We went through where Bryce was born and where  his parents lived in Vale, Oregon. Then headed to Bend and on to Black Butte. The cabin was a ton of fun! We stayed there for 3 days then went to Newport and stayed at a beach house. The first day of Newport was awesome! The second day Cole and I got super sick! I got strep throat and I was flat on my back! It was the worst! I couldn't even speak to Bryce. I was texting him to talk. We had to leave early because I got sick! UGH! SO annoying! But, overall it was fun to be together with family and see this beautiful place.
