Full Blown Summer

Ryker loves fishing for YM activities

Half-naked Max joined us for scripture study

Horcha was so pregnant that she looked like a furry football.

Amber's kittens are pretty cute, but the gray one in the middle might be everyone's favorite.

Horchata decided to go into labor around midnight on Saturday. Glad she had some privacy.

Huddy joined my deacon quorum class and decided that he didn't like where we had picture hung.

Javi was held up in a meeting and Rissa was waiting in their van without keys, so I gave them a ride to Sunday lunch.

Rissa taught the kids how to play Mafia. Some of the kids didn't have very good poker faces.

The cats pretty much just nurse whichever kittens are closest.

I don't know what happened, but Luca wasn't allowed to eat inside with everyone else.

The cats kept swapping boxes, so we just got them a big kiddie pool to do some communal parenting.

The older orange kitten liked cuddling with the younger kitten.

 

Liquid Smoke or Wet Smoke Show

I wasn't sure which title best described these pictures of Schoogies

Reunion of Family

Apparently, it's tradition that when Whitni's family comes to visit that they have to arrive at midnight. The kids crush cereal, Ryker shows off, Rock becomes the tickle monster and Jens tries to sleep.

It just so happened that we also had some new kittens in the garage. Amber popped out six kittens and looks like she realized that Baby Daddy isn't coming back from getting milk.

Lakai

Cami

Tarp slip-n-slide that left little blue slivers on everyone.

Nama watched from above like a prison warden.

There was a lot of time for cousins.

Maddy and Josue came and set up two Harry Potter tents and Julia played with the cousins and brought a level of Latina drama to match Leo's Latino drama.

Or Luca's Latino drama

Schookums is pretty

We had La Brisa to celebrate Mom's retirement.

Baby Crewe!

We went up to Echo Ridge to hike on the 4th, baby Harlow was not happy with her ride.

Lindsea took family pictures, which is about the only time that I bust out this blue shirt.

"Kiss with your teeth" they said.

Did I mention that Luca can be dramatic?

Talk about turning it on and off.

Face painting got the girls excited

Brando loves showing off his big muscles.

I spent the evening of the 4th on the couch with my love.

Face painting is more serious that I expected.

Apparently he asked to be face painted like a minion.

 

Family, Camping, and Family

Apparently, Lindsea didn't like the way that Rock was holding Sofia

We had a family picnic with street tacos at Singleton, DeA was looking especially smoking.

After, we helped load of the Trumans so that they could escape to Idaho.

DeA loves to cocoon herself into the couch and do her homework until she falls asleep

Luca eats his cinnamon rolls like an apple

The boys had YM camp. Ryker was not sure about it, he said that he hats hiking and hates being in groups. He ended up loving hiking (he wants to do the hikes again as a family) and he loved his group.

Rock and I had to work on Tuesday, so he came up with me after work on Wednesday. I stayed in Bishop's tent and his cpap died at 2am, but as I told him, he didn't wake me up with his snoring because I was already up with mine. We hiked into Lake Rachel with 10 deacons. I had a great time with Bishop and Broc that I used to hang out with in high school. It was wet, it was cold, one of the boys wouldn't put on mine extra pair of dry shoes.

Rock told me that he wasn't tired and could drive, but this was five minutes after leaving dinner.

Rock was excited to cuddle with Leo when he got home.

I guess he missed camping because he started a fire in the pit.

Baby Sofia definitely missed us.

DeA seemed to miss me, so that was nice.
