The Newest Member of Our Family!

For Alie's birthday, she was given our newest member of the family - Cozette Cozy Michelle Lopez.  Quite the name!  She was very excited.  The video below is of her opening the present.  We decided two days before we gave it to her that that is what we were getting her.  I've added a few extra pics. to go along with the even

Day Reunion

Last week we went to Grandma's house for a party. Dave taught McKailey first aid for her Brownie merit badge. Then we ate, and played games. (Check out Jessica's blog for the pictures.) To finish off the night, we watched "Puss and Boots" outside.  The next day we started out with a bike ride and then in the afternoon we all went swimming. (Apparently I gave my camera a break because I don't have many pictures.)

Random summer pictures

(Brandon spent a couple of days at our house. A couple of times I caught them outside breaking apart rocks trying to find Geodes.)

Vacation #2 this summer- Bear Lake!

We went to Bear Lake Tuesday through Saturday to Harbor Village. It was awesome!! In our back yard was the pool! It was the most relaxing family vacation we have ever taken.  We didn't plan on being somewhere by a certain time and did whatever we wanted. Alex even read a book for fun!

We even stopped at a  park on 1 of our bike rides. During the week we mostly did: tennis, bike rides, swimming, park, Bear Lake, reading, games and watching Disney Channel.

Our new niece- Cozette!

 Cozette was born the day after cub camp! Perfect timing because the next day we went to Bear Lake.  She is beautiful! Alie wanted to hold her the whole time.

Soccer

Braxton's heart and soul- Soccer! He completed his 5th or 6th year (who's keeping track...?).  His favorite is playing defense.

Cub Camp

Right after we got back from California, the very next morning Braxton and I went to Cub Camp at the Benson Grist Mill. The boys all had fun. Some activities they did we fencing, archery, Bounce house, made neckerchiefs, plus a ton more. They participated for 2 days.
