July 18th! We are actually home!!
This was the only weekend we were home the whole month of July, just because Jason was on call. And yes he did get called out the whole weekend. So the kids and I just stayed home and played. On Saturday we flooded the lawn and let the kids play in the water. They had so much fun!!
Kelsie enjoying the WARM water, playing with her stick.
Carter running through the water, with his stick!
They finally have time to smile or at least look at me with all that fun their having!
The kids saw me with the camera and they all wanted to pose for the camera even Kelsie played along!
After an afternoon of playing in the water the kids helped me snap beans and peas for dinner. We are so blessed to have a beautiful garden behind our house! Our neighbor, Jim, is always bringing over fresh vegetables from his garden!
We started out on Thursday night! Nick and Chantelle with their camper and us with Grandma and Grandpa Richards. We left and little later than we would have liked, because we didn't know exactly where we would be camping. So we arrived at the campsite we wanted and it was almost dark. It was also packed with people! We camped next to what looked like an abandoned RV just for the night and decided we would find a different spot in the morning. Hoping our very close neighbors didn't decide to return late this evening. We woke up and fixed breakfast and was out of there before anyone noticed us! We wanted to camp close to the dam, because my brother's boss had a boat up there he was letting us use for the weekend. After about an hour of looking and waiting we wee able to get two camp spots right by each other right on the lake. It was the perfect spot. After setting up camp we saw the Orme family (my dad's sister) and they were just two spots down. What are the odds of that!
Here is Nick and Chantelle's campsite!
Brielle trying to stay cool at our camp site! Brielle taught herself how to ride her bike the day before we left. She was riding around camp like a pro! She only tipped over 1 time!!

Mom and Chan hanging out at the camper!
Kelsie, Katie, and Mom. If you look close you can see the mesquito bites on Kelsie's face. Yes, we sprayed her with bug spray. But who can resist those chubby cheeks!
This is what happens when you stay up play hard and stay up late!
Like Father like son! How sweet!
It rained on us REALLY hard on saturday afternoon. Then it started hailing quarter sized hail. Carter was trying to play in the rain without getting wet, because he got drenched earlier. That's why he's naked!
Since it was raining for so long we had to find something to pass the time!
Mom is enjoying the rain since she can see it now!
Katie, how inncocent!
Jason was preaching the gospel!
Carter was eating and making a BIG mess!
But after all was said and done we had a beautiful rainbow to look at!
Here are some random pictures of things we did! Enjoy!
We were so lucky Ryan (Katie's B-Friend) could come spend some time with us! He is leaving on his mission in about 3 weeks! Thanks for coming Ryan your so much fun to have around!
Carter walking Orme's dog, Reggie! He loved this dog!
Riding on the boat was a blast!

Brit- It looks like you have been having a very fun summer. I love to read your posts and see pictures of your cute family!
I was about to call and ask where you weekly updates were, but I see you were too busy having a BLAST! I'm not sure I believe Jason was preaching the Gospel, but other than that it looks like you have had a great month. Thanks for the update, we love to know what you guys are up to.
