Summer happenings!

This week in no particular order....we fit in another picnic or two. One of which was captured with my mops and pops for FHE!

We love going to CARD!! One of our favs!

We also LOVE the BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS!!
You can't beat a steak on the grill and S'mores over the fire!
The boys can't get enough dirt on them this year either! They were having a great time sliding down this hill!
Had to get in some more duck feedings!
These ducks would DIE if we didn't feed them all that bread! HA!~
My high school BFF invited me up to her BEAUTIFUL home in good ol Preston ID! Always a good time with this lady! We go wayyyyyy back!
She is looking SMOKIN after 5 kids and one more on the way! Don't you think? DANG GIRL!
6 kids??? MAN!
The kids all enjoyed playin' together! So cute!
We even hit the PRESTON fair for a bit! Lovin' more animals!
The kids enjoyed climbing this wall! GO MASON!
One day we decided to fulfill out SLURPEE 711 craving for the summer. Aaron enjoys making some good ol concoction for the neighbors! HA!

Brain FREEZE!
YUMMMMMY good times!
We came home and did sparklers for no good reason. We love doing those randomly throughout the year. (Aaron doing his little Sparkler jig!) HA HA!
Finally to end off the week, we had a good ol time on this 10X100 foot slip and slide. Aaron planned this EQ service/BBQ/Slip and slide activity for the ward. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! MANY MANY MANY bruises were had...but oh so worth it! LOVED IT!

The BBQ MAN!

Kids and adults in line ready to sliiiiiiipppp and slllllllliddde!

These young KIDS were ready to go down together! Nice muscles dudes!
Here they come! One at a time...
Things are going smoothly....until...
SMACK...boom...bang! THE END! (they did this lots of times!)
Some of the REAL kids got into it also! Tate was in heaven!

We even got a little creative and started using a swimming pool! HA! We all had a GREAT time getting all soapy and grassy....and getting down and dirty to SLIP n' SLIDE as a ward!
I am quite sad that I accidentally erased our family swimming time in the kiddy pool pics (quite the sight), and our fire pit out back pics! BUMMER! I thought I had them saved?? Now they are gone....but if I find them..I will load them up for ya.

I feel like summer if officially over now that school has started and I start work tomorrow!

We will have good times still I am sure..but LIFE will get much more hectic! How do you ladies do it?!!

Love you all!!
