Summer

  We spent the day at the Shasta Caverns. 

Jeff got a new car…Mazda Speed3!  He loves it!

We celebrated 4th of July in our usual fashion with the Annual Rockmont Circle parade and a BBQ and fireworks down in the court.  Definitely one of our favorite days of the year!   We went on a great camping trip to Lake Siskiyou with four other families.  We had a great time playing in the Wipe Out Zone on the lake (even though the water was COLD), hiking, boating, fishing and visiting.   The boys had so much fun running around and playing with all the other kids.  We couldn’t have asked for a better camping trip…and Justin even caught his first fish!

Travis mowed the lawn for the first time.  He felt like such a big kid and was so excited to have acquired a new job.  We were excited that he was finally big enough to do this weekly job, however, it didn’t last long.  We hired a yard guy just a few months later.  Even between the two of us, we just couldn’t keep up with the yard maintenance

  Justin and Jeff went on their first trip to Camp Lassen with cub scouts!  Justin had such a great time and had many stories to tell of his adventures.  He loved the concept of learning and camping all at the same time.  What kid wouldn’t love 4 days alone with his dad boating, shooting bow and arrows, making marshmallow shooters, learning how to build campfires, rock climbing and endless fun around the campfire!  He can’t wait to go back next year!

We bought new couches for our family room, so we put the old couch in the playroom.  They decided on the first night to have a slumber party on the hide-a-bed.  I am not sure it was meant for 3 people!  Poor RyRy was squished in the middle, however it was Travis who ended up in his own bed in the middle of the night!
