| Another summer of baseball. |
 |
| We spent some time on the Oregon Coast in Lincoln City. |
 |
| Lemolo Falls on the North Umpqua River. The falls cascade 100 feet. We hiked in while on our Fourth of July camping trip to Diamond Lake. |
 |
| Brandy, the kids, and I went to the airport and got to tour a B-17G this weekend. The Sentimental Journey is a beautiful plane, and there were quite a few veterans out there taking their own sentimental journey. |
 |
| The kids thought that the tail gun was cool. |
 |
| The plane is very narrow inside. I had to turn sideways and duck to get through it. |
 |
| 50 cal. One of 13 I believe. |
 |
| Loved the sound of that plane taking off. |
 |
| We took an end of summer trip this year. Here are the boys and I on a ride at Discovery Kingdom. |

 |
| Getting ready for the bay cruise in San Francisco. |

 |
| It's been a pretty laid back summer so far. Baseball came to an end the first part of June and gave us quite a few evenings of swimming and relaxing instead of getting done with work and scrambling to get the kids to the ball fields. Austin earned his purple belt in Little Dragons. He was so excited. |
 |
| Brandy and Nana went zip lining. |
 |
| We met Aunt Candy and Uncle Wells for a day of fishing, swimming, and boating on the Klamath River. |
 |
| Colton bailing off of the rocks at a friends pool. |

 |
| The month of May has been really busy. It seems that we are on the go most of the time. We are at the little league fields 3-4 times a week. |
 |
| Austin had his 5th birthday party at the airport. We had perfect weather, and everyone had a great time. |
 |
| Austin practicing his bow skills. |
 |

 |
| We went to Boatnik in Grants pass. It was great. We got there early and beat the large crowds. The kids rode all the rides that they wanted to before the lines got long. |
 |
| The day after Boatnik, we went to the Medford Train Park. The kids always have fun riding the trains there. |
 |
| Colton getting his casts at Shriners Hospital in Portland. |
 |

 |
| We went back to the ranch last weekend. The weather was outstanding. Sunny and beautiful. The kids rode their quads, played baseball in the yard, and had a great time with their buddy Caden. In the picture above, Austin and I are spotting fish in the creek. |
 |
| Brandy took this fantastic picture of one of the nesting pairs of geese at the lower pond. |
 |
| Colton and Caden relaxing during our hike. |
