Bear Lake

Rodrigo's mom came and visited us this summer for a month.  We had so much fun with them.  We went to bear lake for a few days and camped.  Our camp ground was really nice and had it had it's own little beach. We had fun playing on the blow up beds that we got and making sand castles in the sand.  The kids played in the water as soon as the sun came up until it went back down.  The weather was really nice as well.  It was so nice being able to relax and enjoy each others company.  What a fun place to vacation.

Roderick sure Loves his Grandma

Happy Birthday Grandpa Jeff!

In July we celebrated my dad's birthday.  I made a baseball field cake for my dad.  It was fun getting together to celebrate.  My dad is the most amazing person I know.  I am so grateful for his example and the love for life that he shows daily.  Happy Birthday!

  

Happy Birthday J.D..

My cousin J.D. turned 40 this year and this is the cake and cupcakes I made for him.  He is a runner so I made a runner running up the trail in the mountain to his gravestone. =) This cake was so much fun to make.

Bubble Fun

One night while the kids were outside playing I pulled out some bubbles for them to blow.  They had so much fun and they were laughing so hard.  I loved watching them.  They had fun both blowing them and popping them.

Happy Fourth of July

 I didn't get many pictures of the fourth of July this year but I did snag a few of the kids in the Centerville Children's parade.  That has been a fun tradition for our family each year.

Summer fun at the zoo with Cousins

During the Summer My Sister in Law Liz came to visit for a few weeks so when my brother came to town  we took a trip to the zoo.  I was so impressed with the zoo since I had last visited.  The kids had such a great time.  We saw the new bear exhibit and the new Rocky Shores.  That was so much fun watching the polar bear swim. We even watched the bird show.  That was my favorite part of the zoo.  Those birds are amazing and so fun to watch.

We love Grandpa Pork

We went to see Grandpa Pork one day and caught him riding his tricycle.  We love watching him ride his bike.
