More Summer Fun!

Settlers Park


Steve took the kids out "camping" in the backyard one night, but they came in at 2am because it got REALLY windy. It has been really windy here...like blowing Steve's BBQ over all the time windy.... lol!


































We finally got Steve his little pool....he was so excited!!!







Love our shade umbrella!!!!

Quick Trip to WA!

We were hoping to make it to WA in time to see Grandma Brooks before she passed, but we didn’t make it. We will miss her a lot, but know we will see her again someday and now she doesnt have to be suffering from that crappy cancer stuff.
We got to spend some time with Grandpa Brooks and make a few visits with other family and friends.




Tori putting her dukes up in Mom and Dad's 60's chair.....man that thing is OLD!!!!




I was SO happy to finally get to meet Rylee and Tyler, Lindsey's little kiddos. They are so CUTE! I look a little freakish, but I had to get a pick of me and Linds up there. I dont think we've seen eachother for like a year and a half.


Of course we had to make a special surprise stop for Sydney to see Ryen! She was sooo excited to see him. She told us later that she asked him if he wanted to marry her and he said yeah but just dont talk about it. LOL! He is a total boy and doesnt really like all that mushy stuff, but if you know Sydney thats all she talks about; boys, love, getting married and having children. She is fascinated by all that, but what else does she really know?


Grandma Suzie and Reese


Playing at Grandma's house





This was Reese's first trip to WA.


We had Mom and Dads room all to ourselves. They were out of town visiting Leif, Rachel and the twins. It was very nice and I got to hang out with Lairen after the kids were in bed.


We were able to see Grandma Martin (poor Grandma not the best picture, but atleast she was comfortable.......). We brought her an Idaho Spud and she loved it. I am not a fan, but Im glad she liked it.

The kids on Grandpa Brooks' Harley.


Aunt Katie and Aunt Andrea got to meet Reese.


All the cousins except Westin, Jade, Micah, and Savannah.
My kids were SOOO EXCITED to play with their cousins. They have missed them! Thanks for all the fun!!

On our way out of town we stopped by and saw Aaron and Katie at their relative's cabin. So FUN!

Father's Day









For Father's Day Steve actually had the day off....partly because we were going to be leaving for WA after church that day. So we celebrated Father's Day for 3 days. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Each day the kids would leave something special for Steve (they did this for me for Mother's Day so we decided to make it a tradition..lol) On Sunday morning we were all excited to give Steve the Father's Day book we made for him from Shutterfly. He LOVED IT and the kids had so much fun making it too. They each picked out a few pictures of them and Dad and then wrote why he is the best dad in the world.
