Kids

July photo dump of my 3 babies (well, 4 if we include Rosie. Haha!) And then I saw this funny quote on Instagram that I thought was fitting. Those 14 seconds my kids do get along is the best ever though. 

Brooks

Brooks is proudly growing his hair out. This is the one and only time we put it in a pony tail but from the side he kinda looks like Hallie. Haha!

He enjoyed his baseball season and loved playing against his buddies (Romney and Beau) in the season ending game. 

New Steph Curry get up from Grandma Becky and Grandpa Joe. I think they got this for his birthday next year and realized it will be too small for him then so they gave it to him now. 

Random Brooks selfies. Brooks often takes my phone and usually records himself playing basketball while talking to the camera. I think he likes to pretend he has his own YouTube channel. 

Brooksie's best buddy moved this month. They used to pass notes to each other often. This was Brooks' last letter to JT and it made me cry especially because JT was moving while we were in Bear Lake so Brooks wouldn't "see him next week." It is sad to lose such a good buddy of Brooks'. "To JT. I am going to Bear Lake. I will see you next week!!"

He was the best one on his baseball team. His coach told him that he should "keep at it" because he is really talented. We will see if Brooks decides to do player pitch next season. 

Bear Lake- Camping

About a year ago we booked a KOA at Bear Lake to go camping with our friends. We knew that we would have just been at Bear Lake with the whole Ahlberg clan but we thought it would be fun to be up there again with friends. Welp our friends ended up being very lame and no one stayed the whole 3 days because it turns out no one likes camping but us. It was a big bummer as the entire reason we went was to spend time with our friends. The Malmberg's seemed unhappy and bugged pretty much the entire day they stayed. In fact, they are the ones that brought the jet skis for entertainment at the beach and they left after the first night. The Allen's came up a day later then planned and then only stayed 1 night because there kids didn't sleep well in the tent. And I'm like, what did they expect? No one sleeps well in a tent AND the first night is always the worst night. What is funny is that we weren't the ones that even wanted to do this trip to begin with. The Malmberg's proposed this a year ago and then they were the ones that hated it the most. Haha! Needless to say, I'm not sure we will plan a camping trip with any of them again. 

The KOA was really fun though. It was super packed and I am glad we didn't bring Rosie because even though dogs were 'supposed' to be on a leash at all times many were not. And there were BIG dogs around. Although I missed having Rosie, I am glad she stayed safe with Shelli. We stayed at a spot that had a park directly in front of it and a blow up tramp right there too. The kids loved it. We went swimming a few times at the pool there and enjoyed playing chess and going on family walks at night. They also had a great time on the beach and in the water even though we were just there 2 weeks ago. It was fun to be together despite it not all going as planned.

Hallie

I'm sad that I only have 2 photos of Hallie this month. But, then again, she was either in Bear Lake or at soccer this month. She got the MVP Barbie at one of her soccer games and enjoyed breakfast/lunch with her team after a hard loss in the Park City Cup.
