Road to Medford!

We loaded up the kids on July 3rd and drove down to Medford. It was pretty rough getting out of town, but eventually things went smooth (meaning that the kids finally fell asleep).
It was a long day of driving, but the kids were obviously excited to see Mama Zista and everyone else.
Reggy-Butt!
Lindseay was there with her kids, and Dustin showed up with his throughout the week. It meant that we enjoyed a loud house with Elmo.
The kids found ways to escape from the noise of the little kids.

We blew up crap on July 5th in the storage yard.

Ryker loved running over to Walmart, he went multiple times a day. He made about $30 on the 4th selling glow sticks that he bought earlier in the day, and is selling hand-painted mugs online.
There were a lot of late nights and Rock crashed hard.
We spent an evening at the Family Fun Center and did some go-karting and bumper boats.



We were pretty busy, but there was plenty of time for relaxing and chilling with cousins.
We spent Saturday at Lost Creek Lake with Dustin and Marissa's boat.






DeA surprised me by tryin to wake board for the first time ever. She didn't quite get up, but I was impressed that she tried something so new to her.

Ryker didn't try wake boarding, but he quickly staked out his spot on the tube before the little kids could grab it.

Family Reunions

Apparently, the "no Leo on the couch" rule doesn't apply if DeA wants to cuddle
Leo did seem a little nervous that he was breaking the rules
The kids loves playing in the driveway with the water toys


Whit and Stewie rolled into town before midnight and their boys were "starving". Nothing some cereal and cheese couldn't solve.

I had to go to work the next day and missed the party that was forming in the living room.
We tried to take some family pics and Leo came over because he thinks he is part of the family.
He's a heavy dog.
It was quite the ordeal to get everyone looking the right directions.



Rock showed up from Trek during pics and promptly passed out.
The next day we went to Singleton to play kickball.
DeA knows the importance of stretching before kickball.
It was quite the cheering section.
Some of the guys played a round of golf. It was very bonding.
We had s'mores and enjoyed a beautiful evening.





A roasted cupcake is pretty delicious.
