So I had to make a separate post for all of these pictures.  We all know Daniel is strong, but he just loves to show off!  First he wrestled Ryan Garrett.  That wasn't enough for his ego so on Saturday he wrestled Trevor Bell.  This was a great match.  Everyone on the beach was watching.  Daniel took Trevor down twice.  Bo kept telling the camp next to us to "Send over your best guy!"  It was pretty funny. 

Bear Lake

There are so many pictures on this post that I had to split it up.  Bear Lake was so much fun.  This is something we will continue to do every year!  Ryan and I pulled our trailer to the KOA camp.  Which was a great place to camp.  We were camped right next to FREE miniature golf.  Jake LOVED it.  Ryan and him played for hours while Brooks took a nap.  Ryker came down on Friday night and spent the night and the boys golfed all morning.  They were so cute.  

Ike & Jenny, Ryan & Sara, Bo & Becky, were all staying a 1/2 mile up the road at Bo& Becky's condo.  Some of Sara's friends were up there too.  They were all so much fun.  We spent the whole first day at the beach.  It was the best beach, because it stayed shallow for so long.  The water was pretty warm, too.  The first day we all, or should I say Daniel, the kids, and I all got into a mud fight.  It was so much fun.  I felt like a little kid again.  We tried our best at Skim boarding.  I couldn't quite get it, but Jake was really getting the hang of things.  We took boat rides and was destroyed by the SUUUUUPER MAAAAABLE!  I couldn't believe how nervous all the kids, except Taylor and Courtnie, where.  Then we went over to Trevor and Jamie Bells condo and had awesome dutch oven.  Jamie made the best cobbler ever.  We watched a movie outside and had races.  Taylor Bell is the fastest little girl ever.  Both there girls are amazing.  I still can't get over how many flips and whips and aerials these girls could do. Ryan was so proud that he beat Daniel.  Even if Daniel had already raced twice.  

On the second day the boys took a long razor ride up the canyon while the girls swam at Becky's pool.  Then we all BBQ at Becky's and played games.  It was a blast!

On Saturday we went to the beach again an played for a few more hours before we headed home.  Aubrey was so cute at the beach.  She would play in the sand for hours.  Then she would chase the birds.  I can't get enough of these kids.  They make our life so fun.  I can't wait to go back to Bear Lake!

PARTY!!

I told Jake & Brooks that Kreed, Dillon, and Gage where coming over at 10:30 while Michelle went to the Dr.  This got the juices flowing for these two and they decided, all on there own, to have a PARTY!  
They laid out games, candy, puzzles, coloring and tanagrams.  Jake was quite the host.  He made sure everyone got a turn and that they had plenty of options.  I thought it was so cute
I guess this will happen when you have as many parties as we do.  What party animals!!

These are a few of the games they had to offer!

I cut my hair AGAIN!!!

Great photo huh!  So I called my sis-in-law, Jenny, and told Ryan I was getting a "TRIM." HA!   
Well, it was more than a little trim, but I love it!  It is so much easier to do.  

My friend Cammie does this fun slide every summer at Evergreen park.  The boys and I love it when she does it.  She had a ton of people there.
I think Brooks went down about 50 times.  He had so much fun.  You have to run back up the hill and it really wore my kids out.  They were exhausted when we got home.
Jake was so cute taking his sister down the slide.  He adores her.  You don't mess with her when he's around, not even I can tell her NO without Jake piping in.  
Jake and his new goggles!
Aubrey wanted to go down all by herself.  

Fourth of July

we went to Stadium of fire this year.  It was so much fun.  Ryan and I had never been and didn't know what to expect.  It was totally amazing.  It was emotional when they were talking about our great country and all of the service men & women and there families.  I don't know how you don't get chocked up.  They start of by having Jets fly over and parachute's come down.  They had Glen Beck hosting.  I love him so it was really fun to see him live.  The Blue man group was fun.  Miley Cyrus was OK.  The fireworks where amazing.  It was so cool to see them go off.  I got hit by some bug chunks.  We were all covered in ashes.  I love it.  Aubrey loved the whole show.  She was so good.  She had Jim Phillips and Ryan rubbing her feet for about 15 minutes.  It was so funny.  She knows how to get what she wants.  

Look Mom NO HANDS!

This is what happens when the road stops your fall.  You can't see really well, but he is banged up.  He was riding with no hands on Kreeds bike and ate it.  There was blood everywhere.  He cut the inside of his mouth really bad.  He scraped his leg all to pieces.  He was pretty banged up.  
So the next day after the big accident I took the kids to 7peaks.  Jake's friend Dillon came with us.  On the way there Jake was explaining to Dillon that boys play hard and work hard and get scars so that the girls will like them.  He must be hanging out with Lincoln!  He is going to have a ton of girls at the rate he's going.  Chicks dig scars!  I know I do!
