In June Steve had some training in Boulder, CO so I tagged along and had a little fun.  We golfed a couple of courses there, one of which was so beautiful I'm sure we'll be back.  

 Steve and the boys have been building model rockets all spring and we finally found a day that wasn't so windy and let them off. 

Only 1 Lake Powell trip this year. I only got a few pictures before I bailed, but look at that nice Catfish that Parker snagged!

 We did a lot of baseball. It's fun watching how much the boys improve year to year.  Parker was officially in machine pitch and did great.  He's an agressive little player and will play anywhere he gets to touch the ball the most, so he's thinking maybe catcher.  We'll see!

Bronsen wanted to play pitcher and 3rd this year.  At the end of the year tournament he pitched the 2nd game and had his best pitching game ever.  These little boys are sure growing up.  

 Our little team came out 4th.  They got a metal and everyone went home happy.  (We hope!)

In July we headed up "north" to find a bigger ride for our growing family.  I was determined to do a few fun things while we were there.  So we headed to the zoo.   

 I love this picture!

She's been called a monkey more than once in her life, but doesn't quite measure up to an orangatang. 

This drinking fountain is what I have memories of when I was about 5.  

How do you cap off a day at the zoo?  Chucky Cheese's of course!!!  My kids love this place.  

Brittney and Zeb invited all of us up to Twin for a family campout.  We were sad that everyone wasn't able to come, but for those of us that did, we had a good time.  

Grandpa gave Sienna the end of the melon and she was in heaven.  

Steve took over Cole's sleeping spot for an afternoon nap.  

 We painted some pottery. 

 The highlight for my kids is always the horse rides.  They all love to ride horses, but Bronsen especially.  I'm amazed at the natural confidence he has on them.  I don't know where he gets it since he only gets to ride a couple times a year.  But he loves it!!

For the 4th of July we headed to the Pick N Hoe in Dove Creek.  The kids got lots of candy at the parade. 

It was super fun to have Mark and Madison here to visit.  

Then we headed over to the games to get more than a little dirty!

There was a life flight helicopter that flew in and the kids got to climb inside and check it out.  They thought it was pretty cool.  Hopefully it's the only time any of them ever see the inside of one!

And the fireworks!  I didn't get many pictures, but this is my favorite part of the the 4th, and my favorite part of the fireworks is cuddling with my family.
