Rigby Lake


Mak and Emmett had fun following cousin Cannon around.


Cannon and Dakota have always been good friends. Wow, Cannon look at those muscles.

Caden is taking Alexis for a stroll around the lake. Mak is on his way to see one of the big kids.


Mak was cold. So he found Carter to give him a big love and get him warm. Love this picture. It tells a thousand words.


Camille, you and Dakota look good just catching some of the sunshine. It was a beautiful day.


Whitney, you look beautiful with your cute little boys.


Ciara liked just being close to the shore and keeping as dry and warm as possible.


Gage, Carter and Dakota have been out playing on the dock and throwing each other off. They took the innertubes and raft out a ways. That is always tiring. We have been able to get to the lake several times this summer. We don't always get pictures. Michelle and Tom are usually with us, but not on this trip.


The hot tub always feels good after Rigby Lake. The kids will jump on the trampoline and then get in the hot tub. We have had both of these in our yard for many years. So glad for them.


I caught Alexis and Caden making faces for the camera. Michelle came later to pick up the kids. It is always fun to have them in our home.

July 4th with Melissa and Natalie


Melissa and Troy asked Natalie to take family pictures before we went back to Rigby. It was a beautiful calm evening. They have a lake not too far from their home, so off we went. The kids were all in white t-shirts and levis. There were so many pictures to choose from.
This one was my favorite. The kids were closing their eyes but had great big smiles underneath. Everyone was giggling and laughing. So was Melissa and Troy.


Gavin had been in Idaho Falls visiting with his family. He picked up Mike, and the two of them came for the fourth. Mike would go home with me. Gavin would stay with Natalie and they both would travel back to California together.


Melissa and Natalie fixed a nice Bar-B-Que. Gavin invited his father for dinner. Fred lives in Layton, so was perfect for him to be with us for dinner and fireworks. Melissa's friend, Carolyn, invited us over for fireworks. Trey hated the fireworks and just wanted to be held.


The evening was not complete without roasting marshmellows around the fire. Carolyn has a beautiful yard and swimming pool. Natalie had really missed Gavin while they were apart.
Melissa is holding Carolyn's little girl. Trey looks a bit jealous!!!


Always good times when we are together. Life is good. Great place to be with someone you love, huh Mike
