Yuba Lake

Our last fun activity until school begins. Cooper will be in 1st grade going full time. Chase in 5th and both in a brand new school about 10 houses from ours. Blake will be a sophomore in high school this year. I started to cry the other day when I thought about having only 2 more summers with him. I am going to relish every moment. I am so blessed with these amazing boys. The year gets so hectic with work, school, sports, etc. that sometimes we forget to stop and take in the moments that are shaping our lives now. It's easy to get sidetracked and caught up in trying to get through the day or week, waiting for something later. When, in fact, everything that is happening now are the opportunities we have to learn, love, enjoy and influence the ones around us. Have a great school year people!

Hiking

One of the perks of living in Utah is the unlimited activities to do outside and in the mountains. Curtis + 6 kids + hike to falls = sore muscles from butt to calves. They did have a good time though. A little disappointed in the falls, but that may be cause it was more of a climb than planned.....so, naturally expecting wonders! Cooper kept saying "I have 200 energies left....I have 120 energies left...." until the end when he had "zero energies left."

Love my boys!

These are the coolest dudes ever! So lucky to be a part in their lives...

Me-Cooper don't ever grow up....your my baby! Cooper-mom, i gotta, but Ill be six for a long time!

I can always count on Chase for some loves. Calm, cool and collected since day one

Can you feel the love!

I mean....CAN you!

AAWWWWEEEEE, so sweet!

Dammit, spoke too soon. Wishful thinking i guess.

This is what I deal with 24/7...usually ends up with someone crying (and it's never who you think)

Having some summer fun!

Even Better than camping! Fifteen min. and we are in the canyon, near the river, chill'in and making smore's. Great way to spend summer evenings. Thanks for the good times Buckleys!





Can't beat a "fun" game of wiffle ball. I say "fun" because we have some competitors among us!




Gotta love the sacrifice

Safe? or Out?

I got chase out like everytime! K, maybe it was he getting me out?? Lets just say someone isn't getting dinner for awhile!




Jared teaching the boys some bunting skillzzzz

Happy 4th of July!

We spent the weekend with great friends and family swimming, roasting smore's, lighting of fireworks, eating good food and laughing. Of course there is that sense of security that is missing the night of the 4th when Kevin and Tony prepare their fireworks. Someone's gotta do it and they never let us down.

Coop and TJ


She didn't even see it coming...

Can you stand it? I could eat this little guy up!



Although Cooper enjoyed the roasting, he liked the eating better

Bill, Blake and Kalen

Jenny with the perfect s'more. The marshmallows were huge!

Billy trying to master the unicycle.....not so easy. I think she got it though. Can you say AFLAC?
