Don't even get me started on the weather so far this summer. I'm very disappointed. With the lame winter we had I thought for sure we'd have a nice hot summer in store for us. I was wrong. But.....I can't complain! We've had some good times so far this year even with the unseasonable weather.
27th Birthday
Andra and I turned
27 on June 26th. Thankfully, that fell on a weekend so we were able to get out of town and really celebrate. We decided we wanted to go camping with the whole family (minus Damion who's in Utah). Unfortunately, Aaron's lame boss made him fly to Kentucky or something right before the weekend. If I ever meet that man, I'm gonna kick him in the shins for pulling that stunt at the last minute.
Everyone else made it including Mom and Dad!
We got one of my most favorite campsites out there, right on the river with a beach that has 15+ hours of sun exposure a day.

It was a great successful trip! I crashed my dirtbike pretty bad and got my arm pinned between my rear tire and fender. Burned my elbow on the exhuast pipe and some other bruises. However, I was thankful my arm was pinned there because it held me up on the trail. I was dangling off a steep rocky slope that fell way to a cliff. Gotta love those Naches trails!
4th of July
I am so mad at myself for not taking more pictures!! I carried it around in my purse the whole time and only took it out once or twice. The day or two before, Andra and I got to have a "raft day." This is when we blow up the raft AND the double tall queen air mattress and then spend the day on Lake Wilderness swimming, talking, eating, chilling, reading, etc. Twin time......These days are the best.

On the night of the 4th, we had a BBQ over at Kevin and Christie's. It was pretty awesome, especially because the neighbors all compete to have the best firework show. So we just sat back and enjoyed. While Andra and I were at the lake, Jaime, Brent, and Aaron went to the reservation and spent a bunch of money on even more fireworks. I swear we have enough to last us for next year too.

That's all for now....I'm tired. I've got quite a bit more to update, so stay tuned.
