Sweet Summertime...good times never seemed so good!


Alta

this is where we caught a shuttle to the trail head. we ended up waiting probably close to an hour, it was very busy!


very beautiful!


starting out!









isn't this what life is about? enjoying the beauty of the Earth!

she was eating that snow...yuck





Cecret Lake

 we had a whiner that day...he did say his stomach hurt.  after lunch he said it felt better... it seems a little bug has made its way around our house, nothing serious but the kids all complained a little. abby told me she thought she swallowed a poisonous bug. i kind of laughed and asked why? she said her tummy hurt, and thats why. i realized i call sicknesses a bug, so she thought she must have swallowed that poisonous bug...










owen is 1 month today (in this picture)



i love Isabella's face as she jumped in









daydreaming by the pool as clouds roll by...

pool time! (no he didn't swim...) this tube photo shoot was as close as he got...












he's such a peaceful baby



when he feels forgotten or upset he doesn't whine too much, just goes straight to freaking out. its sort of funny... when he is picked up he calms right down.


Margo was very helpful to have around, she lets us swim while she watched Owen



















our first sunday all going to church together!


a little blurry...still getting all the settings down...i thought dan should have a quick pic with his kids

his little suit. thanks mare! its adorable.


princess Bell helping out owen, her favorite job ever.




family night puzzle
this was taken this morning

she wanted her picture taken as well. 


her favorite job




Help Me. Please.

abby got a replacement helmet since her fall:)

CHick Fil A's dress up as a cow day, we all scored free meals. 

one of those black spots got in our washer and stained some of our clothes!! dang. my white shirt, andrews church pants (light khaki) and there was something else....

some phone pics now, starting our hike 


she decided she needed a quick nap. so here she is "sleeping"

towards the end of the trail, it started getting a little more rocky




andrew climbed this rock on the way up and on the way back. 


little suit for church


our train table needed someone to make a track again. i better glue it because it drives me nuts when it becomes a big mess. 

his finished product! now to get that drawer back on, it keeps coming off

whenever he has this binky i always think to myself "You're a Gentleman and Scholar!" 

yesterday i felt like i witnessed a small miracle! the kids played for hours without fighting! it was splendid. 



I think most of the pictures here speak for themselves, right? We had a good day saturday, hiked Cecret Lake (the spelling of that really bothers me. i should find out if there was a good reason for misspelling secret). We then went to jen's house where she had taco's for us! it was a delish, and margo made a chocolate fondue! YUM. it was all great food! Then we went swimming, and headed home. it was a long, good day. we were all exhausted in the best way.today the kids woke up at 5 something. not a good sign... its barely 9 am and they have already been sent to their rooms for quiet time to calm down a couple of times. they are all melting down and obviously waking up that early was not a good thing for them... or me. i have been up since 4:30, i was up then feeding owen, changing him, and abby woke up. i am not sure if she woke everyone else up or if they woke up on their own that early... anyways its way hot in my room, i am ready to get out of here! so thats a wrap.
