Fourth of July we hit the lake for the first time this season. By the time we got the boat on the water after dealing with all the lovely set backs a boat typically has to offer I was exhausted!!! Only to be renewed by seeing the smile on Deans face.......listening to the boys wild laughter as they rode the tube, the refreshing water, the comforting pleasure of time with friends and the hot sun toasting my skin...ahhhh....yeah! Divine! Its okay that Dean didnt get in the water and Morgan found himself in the fetal position at the front of the boat sea sick....its all good.
I see happiness!
Sherry, Brit, Bailey and Aspen, we love spending time with the Percell's
Dean and I took off a few weekends ago, I find we are taking off as much as we can lately. Work for me has been very overwhelming and it doesnt help that my office is at home! I cant get mad and stomp off to make a point to the boss. Not that I would do that anyway but it sounds cool. Getting away as often as possible really helps my sanity.
We ran off....like a couple with no responsibility.....in a general direction with a deck of cards and a cooler full of booze! Oh...and our dog.
Ranger Danger
We took off to the Uintas and drove back into the middle of no where...Lilly Lake. Ranger was loving playing fetch (or fatch as Ryker would say).
Loved spending time with Dean in the woods. We have a great time especially when we dont have to worry about kids. Sometimes it feels like we have a zillion of them!
We left the city to get out of the smoke from all the fires only to find out, there was a fire south of us. We werent allowed a camp fire and there was nasty smoke in the air but it was still gorgeous. We camped right on the edge of a meadow.
We were blessed to spend time with my nephews Brogan and Brig....Oh so much fun!! Ryker and Brogan entertained each other while Kayleann and I played mom to Brig. I have to say....it was pretty dang cute to watch Dean with a baby....
We did a very daring thing and took them ALL to the zoo. Brogan, Kaylee and Ryker hitched a ride in the wagon while Brig was in the baby pack on my back...oh lord that is hard regardless of their weight! It was perfect! We made it to have lunch in front of the seal, walked around for about 10 minutes, bought them a prize and left. The timing was impeccable! As we were walking up the hill (that felt like a mountain) the tears started.......by the time we hit the freeway half the passengers in the truck were crashed out. Good day!
Kaylee in front of the Seal exhibit
Ryker giggled every time the Seal went past
Brogan sat patiently waiting for another swim by.
Brig chillin in the baby pack with sweet potato's all over his face. Adorable!!!!!
I wish I had pictures of Morgan and Caleb to share but of course they have been a little scarce lately with it being summer. Morgan is almost done with drivers ed and we are currently shopping for a car. Caleb has been working like a dog every day with his buddies for a landscaping company. He is so fit and tan! Its going to be a very busy week! The little ones start swimming lessons tomorrow, Mary Kay will be here on Wednesday and Morgan will be 17 on Thursday! Mom is in Colorado until Saturday having a blast with the fam.
As always.....every day is an adventure here at Lake Mountain!
Peace......Love....Cheers....Bren
