::BeAr LaKe::

A few weeks ago we went camping with my sister and her kids. We ended up at a perfect, beautiful, quiet spot, at Bloomington Lake.  I have never been there, and it had been years since Tony had, and we loved it. Thanks to my sister for having the great idea!! We had a blast!!

 Beauty of the Earth...

 The little kids were constantly face planting in the dirt, so they were all so filthy, but having FUN!

 I love going camping and seeing how the kids sleep, it is so funny. Quincy ended up between the air mattresses and Halia was freezing from not being in her sleeping bag. So when they woke up they snuggled with us for a few...LOVED IT!!!

 Look how tall Quincy is! Hehe. :) Hadlie was the only one really up for this picture!

 After breakfast we went on a little hike to see Bloomington lake. Beautiful!!

 Cracks me up, we are all looking, but the tiny ones look so serious!

 It was all Halia could do to stay awake.

 My sister with her hands full!!

 My niece is quite the hiker she was ahead of us the whole time!

 Then.... we packed up and hit the beach, along with 17,988 other people....LITERALLY! I heard someone say the rangers were estimating 18,000!!! CRAZY, I wish I would have gotten a picture, the lake is low enough we got to drive down on the beach (so nice) and so there was miles of vehicles and canopies. 

 we were all in heaven though, it was PERFECT weather!!

 Later in the afternoon my brother showed up with his family, it was so fun!

 Then he helped the boys build a sand castle!!

Peach time!

We are open!

Happy Birthday Quincy!!

FiVe!!

Wow, time has flown! You make us so HAPPY, we LOVE you!!

Happy Birthday Halia!!

TwO!!!!

You bring so much JOY to us, we LOVE you!

**FUN SUMMER**

Halia got to have her turn in swim lessons. We did a parent-tot class. She loved it and did so awesome!! She was sad to be done.

 We have our little pool that they have tons of fun in!!

 Look at that big belly:)

 We love to go across the street to the church parking lot! Perfect place for riding bikes around since we live on a busy hwy. Halia just follows pushing her baby stroller! Quincy loves riding my banana seat from when I was little, so nice that she fits it, so we have a while before we have to buy a bigger bike!! Thanks for storing it for all these years mom and dad!!

 Quincy was super excited to participate in the Box Elder Cheerleader's Mini Cheer Camp.

She was so cute and did really good!

 Total parent fail: I left my good camera at my parent's that day and by the time I remembered it was too late so we have this amazing  phone shot!
 Both our phone batteries also died so this is it...:{

At least we will always remember it in our minds, how great and cute she was!

 See how happy Halia was to be there... it was a bit hot.

67 Years...

Tony's Grandparents had their 67th wedding anniversary this last month! That is a long time! Grandpa is 95 and Grandma will be 90, they still do so great!! A couple weekends ago we went out to Park Valley for a luncheon and reception in their honor. Marsha had all of her kids there and all but one of her grandkids and one great grandchild there. That's pretty good!:)

 The kids were pretty bored, and spent a lot of time outside running around. It rained on and off so they enjoyed that, I think.

 Quincy loves her dad so much she hugged him all her own and asked me to take a picture, he better enjoy that while it lasts! Halia wouldn't go near him, she was too busy!

 Quincy's favorite uncle right now, the single ones are always the most fun!

 We went for a little drive to see if we could get some naps in...only Halia gave in. The sky was so pretty between storms.

 Off for a short ride before we went to pick up Granny to head home!
