July 7-15, 2020 Camping in the White Mountains

We decided to move the trailer over to the White Mountains and do some camping over near Greer. It’s an area that we’ve camped at before and we really like it there. It’s called Greens  Peak and it has great areas to camp at, lots of trees, plus the weather in the White Mountains is a little bit cooler than it is over near the rim.

This was the view out in front of the trailer.  We found this awesome spot with a big meadow to look out in.  

There are lots of roads to ride the quads on too, with such pretty views. 

We drove over to Greer, which isn’t far from where we were camped and do some hiking. 

On another day we drove to Mount Baldy to do some more hiking.  

I’m usually the one that takes pictures so Kev took one of me, or at least my backside lol

I found some really great views to take some pictures of too, like this sunset I caught when we were driving back to our camp after hiking. 

We know a few people that spend their summers up in the White Mountains in Pinetop & Showlow.  There were a few days we drove into those areas and met up with some and played some Pickleball.  That was fun and nice to play in the middle of the day without the heat we have down in the valley.  

July 1, 2020 Birthday Presents

Kev and I gave the girls a couple toys for their birthday but wanted to keep them at our house.  So we had them over so they could play with them.  One was a splash pad and the other a water table.  They loved both and will be used a lot all summer. 

And of course while the girls were over they wanted to play with Eli’s toys.  They think it’s so funny.  

June 29, 2020 The Twins Turn Two

It’s hard to believe that two years ago Alicia was giving birth to her twin babies. The girls are so fun and getting so big and it was time to celebrate the fact that they turned two. With Covid, Alicia didn’t want to have a big party so it was just Kev and I,  Heather and David and Arnold’s mom and brother and his sister and her husband.

They didn’t really know what was happening but it was still fun to see them opening their presents and getting excited about what they were getting and also they got big cupcakes with lots of frosting that they got to eat.  I’m sure that was their favorite part.

Their little outfits were so cute too...Emery’s  said I’m too Sweet and Lainey’s said I’m too Sassy.  

June 12, 2020 Camping with the Wheatons

 Kev and I have been doing a lot of camping since we got the trailer and Mark and Barb also got a new trailer this year. So Kev and I were already up camping and they decided to come up and join us. We always have a good time together because we enjoy playing games and just hanging out. One of the things that we usually do when we camp together is play croquet. Mark built a croquet set and then he sets up the whole course out in the woods. It’s really fun and actually quite funny. You hit your ball but then it hits a pinecone or a stick or a pile of pine needles so you never really know where it’s going.  

June 7-8, 2020 Papa Let’s it Happen

Kev and I kept all three of Alicia’s kids for the night so that her and Arnold could get some stuff done around the house.  They decided to redo their kitchen cabinets and to make it easier, we had the kids at our house.  They come over pretty frequently but the pictures in this post are the things the girls get away with with Kev.  He let’s them do pretty much whatever they want.

June 4, 2020 Karaoke @ Lyn’s

My friend Lyn was going home for the next few months and had a couple girls over for a few drinks and some karaoke.  I am not usually a karaoke participant but Lyn made me.  She picked out a song that she heard me singing on the Pickleball courts and thought it would be funny to sing it as karaoke.
So she joined me and we belted it out.  As you can hear, I am not a singer.  lol
