July

 

 

 

July was full of hot, hot days. July always gets started off right with 4th of July fireworks out at the lake. That's one thing Rangely does right. The firework show never disappoints. It's pretty amazing to watch fireworks over the lake and echo the way they do. God Bless America. July also brings Ryan's birthday. The staff was so kind to decorate his office this year. Brynn and I were also pretty proud of the cupcake cake we made for Ry. We saw it on YouTube and totally nailed it. LOL! July also brings camping and I'm pretty sure the boys went up and camped in their "spot" all summer long. 

June

 

 

 

 

 

June was full of record breaking fish and lots and lots of family time. Jax (and mostly Ryan) caught this gigantic cat fish that won for the biggest fish caught at the annual Fishing Derby out at the lake. You should've seen the size of it. It really was huge! June also brings my favorite time if the year with my roses. I've been growing those babies for 10 years now and each year they get prettier and prettier. My very favorites this year- the pink rose right in the middle of the orange ones and the half orange half yellow rose. SO COOL! Now, holy cow! The Draper Family Campout at the Bateman's this year was a blast. It was full of game playing, movie going, Lagoon going, food eating, family hanging out time fun! Oh and Ryan's gross mustache. ;-) He gets such a kick growing weird, disgusting things on his face.
