{10 on Tuesday Summer Style :)

We headed for our week at Tally Lake in Montana this past week it was SO fun to be together and to make memories the kids loved we loved it! Got a birthday celebrated did some shopping relaxing reading and skiing !! We ♥ it!! We especially loved having D's sister Katelyn and her family join us for the last couple of days !! 
So fun.....So heres to a whack load of pics.....

1. Here's our lovely Camp faces :) I know you all wanted to see a makeup free face right ...and yes I tent it for a week I know that surprises some of you ha ha ;) and I really do love it ..
unless I'm freezing
i SO love these little faces!!!

2. We all skied  :) K2 loved the EZ ski he kept saying faster he loves the boat water and tube!!
Went for walks...

4. Enjoyed the calmness, quiet and beauty everywhere!



5. Little Miss L had her 8th birthday camping so we headed to town went to her choice famous Dave's restaurant and we surprised her with getting her ear's pierced she was SO excited and now she can't wait to be baptized:) We love you sassy little lady!! 
The rose in our patch of wild thorns:)
She loves the water loves skiing and obviously cliffs don't scare her either:)  She's braver then her brothers sometimes she's pretty awesome!!
CANNOT BELIEVE THIS GIRLY IS 8 ...CRAZY!!

6... Boys....
K2 loved every minute he loves the water, the boat, the ez ski, just camping in general..... I loved that he and M got so tired at night they fell asleep in my arms and lap :)
M lost a tooth the first morning there ...just pulled it out N B D what a kid!

This boy also got some cub badge work in ... he can make a mean scrambled egg breakfast even camping....

 
my baby not k2 but big K looks so BIG!!! Stop growing please kids!! 

7. Two pinterest ideas that were awesome that we tried were the matches in a jar with sandpaper on top.... I even got a "hey thats pretty cool" for the big D :) 
I'd only add that there should be more sandpaper under so you have some spares....
The other was the milk jug full of water with a headlamp light facing inside it lights up like a lamp lights the whole tent! Pretty awesome!!

8..and like all vacations they come to an end :) I ♥ my family!!

9. We got back late Saturday night and yesterday I had the opportunity to drive an hour and half away to see a friend and her family who lives in Minnesota..... I grew up with her but I haven't seen her for 15 years holy so good to see and meet her adorable little kids she has 6 but only had four with her !!and to see her mom  Darlene again!!!  Good times! 
Love them its so awesome when you see friends from the past and you pick up right where you left off like no time has passed!! 
Those are the true real friendships in life ♥

10.. and now two weeks of swim lessons and then SCHOOL :) can't wait for routine, a clean house again and some organization.... but you all knew that already ha ha!! As much as I love summer the memories and life in general its always nice to get back into things:)

What is your favorite memory maker this summer?? This is ours! We love summer....

Lovin' your fresh camp faces!

knew about the matches and sand paper, but never heard about the jug of water as a lantern. Cool ideas. So fun to see you with your growing kids. K looks like a teenager in the boat there. ; ) That's awesome that you are combining his cub badge stuff with whatever you guys do. THat's the way to do it, eh?

I also love how all your kids are such water babies. I am amazed to see tiny little K2 skiing like that on the water. Wasn't he just a newborn posing for photos on that vintage chair yesterday? HA Ha.

Love it.

Thanks for your comment today.

Have fun with the rest of summer!

You guys are all so very cute! And I haven't ACTUALLY camped in years-- it looks so fun! Your kids are so so super cute. Maybe someday you'll all come over here and we can hang out together!

By the way, that is so fun you saw my mom on our reunion float! I was so sad not to be there. :(

Camping is definetly the best memories we make all summer long. But this year I think we live at the pool too. Its the first year I don't have the mormon mom tan line. haha!!
