"What did you do all Summer"? :-)

As the summer begins to wind down :-(....boo....I am sure that I will be soon addressed with the question "what did you do all summer"? It will be somewhat of a simple answer :-)...went to a lot of baseball games!! It has been so fun having our favorite Dback and family staying in town!! He had an amazing 1st half of the season which was a lot of fun to watch!! Hopefully the 2nd half of his season begins this next week!! Def could do baseball games every night instead of going back to work :-/

Both my girls love it as much as me...every night...Codi watches our game and then quickly checks in on how the Giants did for the night! She is obsessed and I love it :-)

With their favorite Dback!

Hate to see the summer of baseball, yummy food, skinny girl margs, and Addison screaming the entire way home come to an end :=(. xo

The Beach!!!

We spent the last few days over in San Diego to spend some time on the beach with the Dallmanns :-). 2 days of simply relaxing on the beach!! It was a quick trip but lots of fun and many laughs when this group gets together!!

Codi was the only one willing to put sunscreen on Larry's back :-)

Abby * Kayla * Carli

All of the girls :-)

My babies!

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Doh :-)

The kids were either playing paddle ball, vball, or in the water :-)

This one is going through growth spurt :-)

Kayla and Carli buried Abby...at least they gave her boobs :-)

On our way to dinner...Craig and Larry are a little out numbered!!

Ranch weekend!!

We spent the 4th of July weekend up at the Viterbo Ranch. Our whole family loves to go up there! It is so gorgeous...there is so much to do yet it is so relaxing at the same time!

This is how it went...(just for you D :-)

We drove up there Friday afternoon...everyone quickly gets on a ranger and heads towards some type of fun :0

Carli and Hayley heading toward the Creek!

Vic and Craig relaxing while DeEtte took some pics of baby skunks we found...can you see that precious little face in the back seat? :-) I miss her already!!

The adults headed out on a ride...which turned into a quest to shoot a coyote...Craig is deciding if the Ranger will make it over the tracks...um...no!

Craig got a couple of shots off at those scavengers but they are just too elusive!!

I know my apple friends will appreciate this!...This old MAC was imbedded in the wash of a river bed....weeds growing up threw the backside...absolutely crazy!!

I'd say apple has come a long way :-)

This was taken from one of our first ranch trips several years ago...cute, goofy, sassy little girls!!

Now look at them!! Still cute...definitely still sassy!!...We headed into Prescott Saturday night for some yummy Mexican food and to check out the house they have re-done in downtown....it is so cute...and in a great location!! :=)

We are so lucky to have such great friendships for so long...We were the kids' ages and even younger when we met Vic and DeEtte....I hope our kids are paying attention to how important friends are :-)
