Ava's Sunday

I should have known when Ava woke up that she was going to be hot on her game today. She woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed first thing this morning and was going strong every since. The primary kids were taught by the young mens and young womens today. Ava had her teachers in stitches the whole time and check out the size of the flower that she got for me on their walk. The ym/yw were just cracking up when they brought Ava in to give me my flower. Later after church we were all relaxing watching tv when Ava came running around in her awesome get up !! You like it?? I tried so hard to get a picture of her in action but of course she smells a camera from a mile away and has to strike a pose.


Day at Lake Siskiyou

Lake Siskiyou

We spent one day at lake Siskiyou. I had forgotten how much the kids love the beach (the beach incident from last year- see old posts). We went to lake shasta but its basically a boating beach, Lake Shastina water is low, and Siskiyou has a great beach so thats were we went. Amber and Drew went out on the boat we got. They got pretty brave and went out as far as they could (to the ropes) and back. Tyson loves hanging on the beach playing in the sand. And Ava was on an extremly short leash and did fine. Drew and I hung out on the beach watching kids and relaxing. I actually got a tan...mission accomplished.

Kronk's 2nd Birthday






It just so happens that Kronk's 2nd birthday is only a couple days after the the 4th so he got to spend the week with us at the lake. He did a great time. He is so big but he is still such a baby. My favorite picture is the one where is is hanging over the seat watching Dman play his gameboy. Happy Birthday Kronkie Donkie !!

More Shastina





We had a blast at the lake but there were no fireworks on the 4th. With all the fires the area decied not to do any fireworks. This was the first year in our married life ( drew's whole life) that we did not watch fireworks. We have promised the kids that we would go to an A's came with firworks. We cant let a whole year go by without fireworks. We did have "sparklers" for the kids to do. There were the ugliest big flying bugs everywhere, so of course Drew decided to include them in our fourth of July celebration. The pictue is what the bug looked like the following morning. But we learned our lesson- you leave them alone- they'll leave you alone. For the rest of our week there we dealt with hundreds of these bugs, I am afraid that we killed there leader.
