Gotta Have Friends...

Love our visits from our awesome friends The Hammonds.. The kids get along so great and it's nothing but laughs and fun, we are always sad to see them leave.. Love this pic..

Float Preview..

This was so cool.. We were able to go look at all of the parade floats for the Days of 47 parade.. We had everything the parade had except for the heat.. Floats, clowns, marching bands, food and fun... Doesn't get any better.. Just going to share my favorites..

Swimming...

We have done a lot of swimming this summer.. Just a few pics of swimming thus far.. :)

Lil' Hippos...

Baby Ryker in his tiny pool..

I am sure this is just the beginning of our swim adventures.. :)

Cascade Springs.

The same day we went fishing, we drove up to Cascade Springs.. This little slice of heaven tucked away into nowhere.. Loved it. Some of my favorite pics, if you are noticing Miss Courtnee is not in any of them, you are right.. She was basking up the sun in Lake Powell for a week with her bestie.. :)

Summer Flowers...

I really love Spring, because of everything beautiful in bloom... However I have grown to love all of my Summer flowers as well... Looking out my windows and seeing them all in bloom, the bees and birds flying around them, just makes my heart happy.. :) Gotta love macro on the camera..

Fishin...

We took the kids and met Nancy & Levi and went fishing.. Although the drive up was a bit rocky (sorry Troy,) the lake was amazing.. The kids had a lot of fun and Uncle Levi helped them catch one.. :)
Here are some pics..

Grandma and Jade waiting for one to bite..

Waiting....

Got one.. :)

So patiently waiting that "BIG ONE."

Jade casting his own pole. He did so good, after about a half hour he finally could do it without hitting everyone else's lines.. :)

Just Fishin..

Love it..

Ryker Roo even had fun.. :)

Thanks family for a great day, and Levi for being my kids fishing buddy.. :)

The Symphony...

Troy was able to get some tickets from his work for the Symphony.. This was mine and Troy's first time at the symphony, the kids had been before with their school.. Since we had a few extra tickets, we took his cute mom and dad with us.. Except for a power glitch 30 minutes before we got there, causing their air conditioning to go out in turn caused it to start 45 minutes late, it was a great show.. I absolutely loved it!!! It was so nice to spend some time with the older two kids.. :) They are looking too grown up.. :( Can't wait to go back.. :)

Troy's mom & dad, Courtnee & Stockton..

Don & Shirley in front of this amazing blown glass display..

Courtnee and I killing time, trying to cool off. ;)

How cute are these two kiddos??

So grown up and so beautiful/handsome.. :)
