July 2015

Emerson's baptism was beautiful!  Many of her cousins sang at her baptism.  We were so excited to be there and for the pizza party with our families afterwards.

Julie and Liv biking on Emerson's bike at the pizza party - she was one happy girl

Emerson's 8th birthday is the same day as Ethan's 15th birthday!

They are in Europe for a 2nd time during July.  sheesh

Katlynn and Jane also have summer birthdays!

We had a lot of fun in Sacramento visiting John, Amanda and Greyson.

We went to Funderland, a little amusement park close by, did a pony ride and played a little soccer at Land Park.

Then it was off to Lake Tahoe.  We spoiled ourselves and stayed in a hotel/casino!  We kind of missed being in a cabin, but the view and maid service was amazing!

They were having a celebrity golf tournament while we were there.

We had too much fun catching up with the Harris Family.  Liv and Lily were BFFs in 2 seconds.

And Steve and Eric were cracking us up the whole 2 days

I loved chatting with Stephanie, Ella is Aubrey's age, Anna had a great time with Maddie, and Nate was nice to Colton, who loved being with an older boy

We love Lake Tahoe!

We got to celebrate the 4th of July with our neighbors, as is our tradition!

Anna went to Girls Camp for a week

I worked in the kitchen with my crew

and Eric was with his crew for 5 days!  They went to see Inside Out, Colton's first movie in a theater!

He was amazed by how bit the Iphone is!

We also did a few camps.  Anna continued on as a camp counselor with Jane
Olivia and Colton took a 1 week swim class at the PCC together

Ella did a tennis camp for a couple of days with Hudson and Greta Acreman

And we also had a good time just messing around at home

June 2015

Summer is here.  Sometimes it's hard to believe... good weather, time to sleep in, spend time together, zero homework or classes to worry about.   Colton and Olivia attended Bible Camp.

Ella got to go to Vet Camp at Happy Hollow with her friend Greta.  She had a great time with the animals and going on the rides.  I would stay with Olivia and Colton and enjoy the day at the park together, sometimes with cousins or friends.

Checking the goat's heart beat with stephesescope - cute, right?

Anna cam home from Stanford Soccer Camp where she was at for a few days!  She loved staying in the dorms!!!  Here are pictures of her homecoming.

We are proud of her!!!!

Here are some pictures of the awesome dads in my life that we feel honored to share our lives with.

June is also Eric's birthday and was our 16th Anniversary.  What can I say?  I got lucky with this guy! Happy Birthday Eric!!!
