Independence Day

We of course started out the day at the parade

We then got showered by our fellow baseball buddies in the parade

We were a little cold after


Then this cute little girl got some free flowers they were handing out at the parade

Family picture time


Karsten & Mason best friends who don't squirt each other in parades:)

We then headed to the park to kill an afternoon
on the tire swing, we also went swimming but no pics sorry.


Cute Jaxon at the BBQ with the firefighters while they set up fireworks

Whitnee, Beth, and Me
After the city fireworks we headed back home and did some of our own

Sparklers are my absolute favorite!!







I took about a million of these fun pics

Once again it was a slow 4th with no fires so we even had a bored fire crew show up at our fireworks, and no we weren't doing anything illegal!

Happy Campers...and Fishers

After trying all day we caught absolutely nothing!!

Karsten, Tyler, & Jax


Ashley & Dylan these two were always up to no good

Jaxon hoping to catch something

Kasey & Karstens cool new style of helmet he was sporting

The last week of June we had our annual family camping trip with Tylers family. We went to Yankee Meadows and got very dirty and wet but had lots of fun. I've come to realize Jaxon is fearless, he is CRAZY! He went hiking twice and came back both times soaking wet because he thought he was big enough to jump the creek and fell all the way in, his Dad has to pull him out the second time and got wet...he wasn't very impressed haha. Apparently he doesn't learn very quick. He also convinced Tylers brother Brian to let him drive the four wheeler with no help up a steep trail. Lets just say Brian was scared to death and Jaxon didn't blink an eye. The kids rode four wheelers non-stop, went fishing, made s'mores, played night games, ate good food, hiked, ate more good food and had a good time playing with cousins. They rode over 100 miles on the four wheelers in 3 days Whoa! Without saying we were exhausted when we got home but had a good time.

Grease Lightning

I went to Grease down @ Tuachan with my dad, his girlfriend Leisa, Whit, and Tyler and it was so so good. We had tons of fun and of course Whit was the only who would take pics with me. The musical was a mix between the play on Broadway and the movie I love so much. The actors did a great job and they even had real cars in it. We always have a great time as a family and this was no exception. If you haven't seen it you gotta go:)
