Castle Park

There was the coolest park down the street from our beach house. The kids had so much fun playing there. They called it the Castle Park because it looked like a giant castle.

Playing at the Beach

Hanging Out at the Beach House

This is the beach house that we stayed at while in Oregon. It was huge! We had a lot of fun relaxing and playing games. The boys especially loved it because when we got there, they found a box full of Thomas the Train toys and railroad tracks. There was also a fooseball table where many tournaments were played...

Oregon 2011

This year, my parents took all of us to Gold Beach, Oregon. It was one of the funnest family trips I've been on. Definately on my top ten. We did so many fun things...Stayed at a huge beach house, saw Crater Lake, went to the beach, played at "Castle park", saw the Redwoods, took a fun hike, went on some jet boats, and saw a real lighthouse...just to name a few.

Crater Lake

Crater Lake was absolutely GORGEOUS!! I have never seen water so blue. This is the deepest natural lake in the United States.

On the Road

This picture was taken on my birthday. This was at the Hotel we stopped at the night before. We were about to leave on our second day of driving to Oregon.

Fourth of July Parade 2011

We had a lot of fun at the parade this year. We usually go with Steve's siblings and their kids. I had to get a picture of my four little nieces. They had on the cutest dresses that were so festive.

Aunt Alyssa and Mason

It was a hot day...

Later that night, we went over the Steve's brother's house to watch the fireworks from Davis High. The kids always love to watch the fireworks and play with their glowsticks that Aunt Brenda gave them.

New Thomas the Train Bunkbeds

Well we finally did it. We bought the boys bunkbeds. We were debating whether or not to get them some because of how young they are, but they have actually slept better than they ever had. Needless to say, Steve and I love them just as much as (if not more than) the boys do.

Summer Fun 2011

"Looking for clues"

One day the boys and I came home from being out and about and saw that one of our trees had fallen over onto our driveway. So, I took the boys outside to check it out. Lincoln has such a fun imagination. He kept telling me that he and Mason were "looking for clues" in the tree...I'm not quite sure what that means, but they had a lot of fun doing it.

Sprinkler Time

I bought the boys a new sprinkler, but didn't have a working hose to hook it to at the time, so I took it over to my parents house and hooked it up for the boys to play in. They had a lot of fun since it was so stinkin' hot outside. Even my sisters came out to play.

At the Park

Mason's most favorite thing in the world...THE SWINGS!!!

He could literally stay on the swings for hours and never get bored. In fact he screams everytime we take him off, even if he's been on them all day.

Happy Father's Day

This is four generations of Sanders...

For Father's Day, I made Steve some carmel/chocolate covered pretzel rods. It was funny cause when he wasn't looking, Mason stole one and stuck it in his mouth as fast as he could.

He thought he was pretty funny...
