Family Pictures

A few weeks back I got Mandi to take our family picture, we had such a great time and she just knew what to do with Miss B.













The girls got to pick a photo to do for each other. Tasha and Haley wanted this one so bad, even B is laughing


                    Haley wanted one done by her self so bad that Mandi got her to smile for this one.
                                       
                                               Tasha didn't want this one but the rest of us did.

Lake Arrowhead



We took a family trip to Lake Arrowhead California with Nana, Papa, Auntie Heater, and Uncle Lyle. Lake Arrowhead is a small village about 20 miles up in the mountains from San Burnadeno. 



Beacuse we were not allowed to get in the lake, we did the next best thing and took the boat tour. It was fun to hear the history of Lake Arrowhead and the people who have owned homes there.


As you can see Cory and Haley liked the ride.


I was surprised to see that this small village has a McDonalds, we lucked out and didn't have to eat there, but we did sit the the deck that they had over looking the lake. The table behind Haley is were I was pooped on by a bird, which every one thought was funny but me.

The village had what they called Lollypop Village, it was a small store with all kinds of signs this being one of our favorites. They also had rides for the kids, but we chose to do something else.

This was one of my favorite signs.


Mom and Dad took us all out for dinner at a Mexican restaurant in the village. Sadly nothing that any of us got was very good.


Well we couldn't get in Lake Arrowhead so we drove 10 miles to the next town called Crestline and spent the day in lake Gregory.

Tasha was ready to get in the lake.
This was one of my favorites.



As you can see there wasn't much shade at the lake, but oh did the girls have a great time. So glad that their daddy also loves the water.
Heather and Lyle left Thursday so we had a big home cooked meal on their deck. You can see how they tried to get me to drink pop again, but I didn't give in to the per-presser:)

The town homes that we stayed in had some crafts for the kids to do. They chose to paint flower pots, and of course Cory had to get in on the fun

Haley and Brinley stayed on Utah time the whole trip which meant they were getting up at 6:30. Well Friday night we stayed and Nana and Papa's house and this is what I woke up to at 7:30. Somewhere in that mess is Haley and Brinley sound a sleep.

Ward Garden

We have a ward garden.
  
We went with about 5 other family over Memorial day and planted our garden,every Monday we go and weed it. Last night we got to weed and pick veggies.

This is what we picked. We thinned the carrots and I can say that fresh carrots dirt and all are sooooo good.

Our Summer Projects



We have had a few projects going this summer.


We have moved the sprinkler pipes and hope to lay concrete done in the spring.


The girls wanted to help with the fire pit, so Haley is digging up rocks to put in the hole


Cory got the pipe in the hole and is waiting for the rocks



Miss B is resting after moving some rocks.


We also put in a second garden now to get the dirt in it. Now for spring to come and we can lay all the concrete for the drive way and patio.

24th of July

Our ward has a little parade every year for the 24th.

The girls talked Cory into riding his bike also

Decorating the bikes.



Even the adults get in on the fun

Wyatt had so much fun he wanted to go again. The ward then had a pancake breakfast at the church.

Cory and I decided to then take the girls on a drive through the mountains.

Heading up American Fork Canyon


We had fun watching a storm come in over the mountains.

Midway got hit with ran and hail, it was fun to be out in.

Haley at Bridal Vail Falls

We then added a little more fun into the day by going to an Owlz game

waiting for it to start

Can't go to the game with out hanging with Holly and Hootz

The sun set on the drive home. A great way to end a great day.
