SUMMER 2008

Well summer is over but it sure was fun! We were able to take a few trips with the family and even one just for mom and dad! We took a vacation to Lake Tahoe this year and the boys got to take a vacation from mom and dad and be with Nana! The lake was so gorgeous. We have never seen water so deep blue! We rented a house for a week and just relaxed. Nathan was able to golf and I was able to lay on the beach and shop. We did rent a boat for a day and ride around on the lake. Emerald Bay is soooo pretty. We also rode a gondola up to the top of the mountain and Nathan took a zip line down. It was 3400 ft long. The longest zip line in the USA apparently. What a ride!

GAVIN AT BOISE STATE

Gavin is playing football this year for Barlow. He had the opportunity to travel to Boise State with the team and play on the "smurf turf". He had a blast!

Henry was being very cautious :)

4TH OF JULY

This is the first 4th of July at our new house. We live on a dead end street so we were all over the place.

As always we acquired quite an arsenal of explosives. We added army guys and toy farm animals this year. All blown to smitherines!!

SHELBY

Our new little addition, Shelby, has been so fun! Oh the joys of a puppy. The boys have had so much fun with her. We are so lucky that she is a very mellow dog and she always gets showered with attention.

HILL AFB

On our way out of town we stopped at Hill AFB where they have an air museum. They have so many planes. The boys loved it.

Matthew and Amber's Wedding

Our trip to Utah to see Matthew and Amber was great. The wedding was beautiful and the reception was lovely. It was so nice to see everyone. We took a trip to Lagoon and just our luck it was the hottest day of our whole trip! Afterwards, we went to Andrew's for an awesome bbq.
