This summer I woke up one morning to Jake running in my room holding a baby Duck. It freaked the heebie jeebies out of me. Jake woke up early one morning, walk into the kitchen to get breakfast, and he said he heard some noise in the back yard. The other kids were still sleeping. Jake ran in and was yelling "mom I found a baby duck in our back yard!" There was a nest in the corner of the garden area. There was a momma duck with about 6 baby ducklings. So cute-but to be woken up it was kinda of a shocker. It's really funny now when I think about it because when i would take the kids to go feed the ducks. Jake would always say how he was goign to catch one. I think when he first came into my room that morning, I thought i was dreaming.

Almost forgot to post pictures of Jaycee's broken arm. Jaycee was roller blading with her friend and fell. She broke the growth plate on her wrist. Good thing was she got her cast removed bfore the beginning of summer. My poor little girl was in so much pain, they gave her some pain medicine and she was allergic to it. She spent the first couple days after breaking her arm...throwing up the medicine. She was so much better after the medicine got out of her system.

These are some awesome snap shots of my nephew riding the horse! Perfect day for the kids! Thanks Colt and Daniel for the awesome shots! I love you two cowboys!

After swimming at my sister's, our Nephew Daniel wanted to ride a horse. Colton helped Daniel Ride his horse and showed him how. This was Daniel first time riding a horse. Daniel did a great job! He was very relaxed! He looked awesome straight out of the swimming pool with swim trucks and Colton's cowboy boots. Thanks Colton for helping him, you are such a great person! I love you Colt!

Taking a break for the camera "say cheese!"

Once again we are swimming! My sister invited us over for a fun swimming day! We had a blast! I always laugh so hard when i am with my sister! You know the laughs that are deep in your stomach and come out loud. The laughs when your stomach usually hurts from laughing so hard. This is how it is when I get together with my sister! The kids have so much fun together! You can just feel the love they have for each other! Every memory is a happy memory with my sister and her cute kids! Love you guys so much!

You would think by now we would have been sick of water.....but NO way! We were invited to go swimming again at our neighbors brothers house. Daniel our nephew was visiting still and went with us. My mom also went and enjoy a quick dip in the pool! awwww summertime! It was fun! I would love to have a pool like this someday!

Over the summer we went to Pineview Resevoir a few times. We love going to pineview and hanging out. The kids have so much fun playing in the water and sand. This year we took up a little BBQ and cooked hamburgers on the Beach. I always look forward to going to pineview every year with our family! This year our Nephew Daniel from California got to come with us.
