The boys at the ball field. To help business we have been selling stuff out at the fields. They boys love going and spending Friday night and Saturday at the fields. They like it because they get to run around all day, eat fast food and have fun.

Boys after rough housing with Dad. They LOVE rough house and they get it as a reward.

After our primary program. We buy all the primary boys bow ties and the girls flowers for their hair. It is so cute.

Cute Drew. Poor kid is the only boy in his class that has two years of kids in it. I tell him he will love it when he is old enough to date. Good thing they are all friends.

Jared at scout camp. For the 100 year celebration they had a big camp with ALL the cub and boy scouts from our district. About 3000 scouts. They had a knights of round table theme. We made shields, swords and had a big battle. Then dinner, fireworks and fun. Below or my scouts.

Caleb. Love that boy.

Boys Loved going to the planetarium.

Cousins. We spent hours at Grandmas with a hose, a tramp, and LOTS of water.

We went to Grandma Rachel's house two times this summer for a week each time and had lots
of fun.

Jared and Jeremy Evans. Each year a Jazz player comes and talks to the kids for Jr. Jazz. This year they sent Jeremy Evans. I love having them come. When I was a kid, a player would come and there would be hundreds of kids and you would listen to them talk, they would sign a few autographs and leave. Here there is only about 30 kids that go and they all get to play basketball with player the whole time. My kids have a ball.

A Camping We Will Go!

This summer went only got to go camping one time, but it was so fun and can't wait to do it again. We decided to go for 3 days and 3 nights. The longest we have been camping as a family. It worked out that our good friends the Gough's had those days off work, so we all went together. We went to Pine Lake. It is just outside of Bryce Canyon. We have never been there before, but we LOVED it. The camping spaces were huge. We had so much space for the kids to run and roam, and we were by a stream so it was just awesome.

Campfire was our favorite part of the day. We brought smores to do for one night, our friends brought smores for every night, so we ate A LOT of smores. They were so good. Chocolate chip cookie, chocolate, marshmallows, cookie. That is the only way I can eat smores now. The funny thing with going with two families that have done much camping on our own, we both brought enough food for everyone, plus some. We did not go hungry and we brought back half our food.

We went fishing everyday. The boys loved it, but got bored fast.

Caleb and Tanner fishing.

Drew fishing.

Jared fishing.

Caleb and Tanner walking to the car for a snack.

Caleb's favorite part of fishing. The Cheetos!

This picture doesn't do it justice, but Jared put on his own sunblock and didn't spread evenly.

Drew LOVED carving with his pocket knife.

Jared showing Drew how it is done.

Caleb helping with clean up.

The boys favorite. Roasting marshmellows.

Doesn't that look so good?

It is a wonder that our kids slept at night with all the sugar.

Caleb's favorite part. The chocolate.

The last full day we were there it rained ALL day long, hard. We(the adults) wanted to play games and we only had one small canopy, so we had the kids hang out in the tent and watch movies. It made for a messy tent. Hope to not do that again.

Caleb running around playing.

The cute boys on the last day of camp.

Keeping them self entertained while we packed up.

The car ride home. Way excited for a shower.

Caleb playing on the way home. He would put on the glasses and say "Whaaaaaat?"
