Happy Birthday Paige!!

Our little baby is now 6!! She spent the day in Laguna, playing in the waves with a million cousins. We decided we're going to keep her.

The Empty Nesters

This whole week, our 3 oldest were at "grandcamp" with some cousins and Tyler's parents. Once a year, Tyler's parents take cousins between 6-12 for a couple of days. They take them on adventures and show them lots of fun. I Can't wait to pick them up today. As much as we missed them, it was so nice to be with only 4 kids. Tyler took a few days off and we went to Big Bear at a little resort together. We had a blast but we forgot to take pictures until the way home.

This is Alex and Aaron worn out from a fun vacation of hiking and swimming in the mountains. The van's looking a little sparce.....missing the big kids.

Hook, Slice & Shank Classic

Every year, we get together with a bunch of buddies from the Orange Stake and have a guys adventure for a few days. Some years we have up to 50 depending on what we plan. This year, cousin Kurt threw the Hook, Slice and Shank Classic in Vegas. We had the sweetest weekend. A few of the guys, I haven't seen for almost 20 years. Always so great getting together for a few days while our poor wives hold down the fort.

Some of us after golfing.

They were extremely lucky that my knee was in healing, cause this tournament would have been mine.

Has anyone gone on the rides on top of the Stratosphere? Holy cow! They are out of control. Hanging over an 800 ft ledge. My favorite was "The Big Shot". It was a free fall ride on top of the Strat. Freaked me out.
