The Start of Basketball, the End of Soccer, and a Boy's Money Birthday!

 BayLea had her first game. She played SOOOOOO well. I was immensely proud of her. She had 10 points, and just played like a basketball player! Awesome work little girl!

 Her friend Sarah and her mom and sister came to the game. It was so nice to see them there, so bright and early on a Saturday. Hayley loved watching basketball and wanted to get on a team!

 Later that same day, BayLea had her last soccer game of the season. They won their game, and she had a blast!

 Her teacher came to this game. So nice of her to take time out of her precious weekend time to come and watch. I know it meant a ton to Bay.

 BayLea and her Coach. Great coach. We really like her.

 And then it was time for Breccan's birthday party. We began at Bananas (again!). Breccan and his friends helped us spend a couple hundred dollars on video games, and laser tag and laser maze. It was fun though to watch them.

 Breccan's oldest friend, Ryland, from pre-k always comes too. He's such a nice kid!

 Waiting their turn for the laser tag game.

 Sarah came with BayLea so she'd have something to do.

 Fun, fun, fun!

 And then we went home for dinner and cake (what WAS I thinking????). He had a $100 bill cake, and lots of fun money themed decorations.

 His friends, big surprise, went along with the theme, and everyone gave him money (which is what he was hoping for!).

 Mimi always gives BayLea something on Breccan's birthday, and Breccan something on BayLea's birthday!

His cash... and his money clip from mimi and pa!

4th of July

 We spent the 4th of July at the cabin with mom and dad, Josh and Jason, their significant others, and a set of their friends each. BayLea and I made this top for BayLea before we left.

 Fishing, fishing, fishing. It's all the boys do.

 Oh and our cool dude, Ethan, was there. Leah had to work, as always. She has since quit her job, so now maybe she can become part of our family again.

 We drove down to Gunnison to watch fireworks. Amazing rainbow action.

 And fireworks! Although the fire works weren't as good as they probably could have been, they were still beautiful! They had had a pretty good rain shortly before they were supposed to start the fireworks, and the fuses apparently got wet. But it was fun.

 Ethan is such a good big cousin.

 We bought a new game to play in the camper. It was fun! We stayed in our camper in the lot below the cabin. It gave us a place to go when the rest of them wanted to stay up late and drink and party! LOL

 I rented a wide angle lens. It's totally fun to play with (if anyone wants to buy me one, I'll take it!!!).

 A compound bow that Jason's girlfriend's daughter left up there. It'll be for use when we go up there. Breccan was beyond happy.

 Breccan loves his Uncles.

I shot this one night after we went down to our camper to go to sleep. I looked up and saw how beautiful the cabin looked up there in the night sky, with the illuminated flag waving in the wind. We might enlarge this for the cabin.
