Summer Lovin'

We are loving summer! It has been a little too hot lately for Bens taste (I think mostly because we have started turning on the AC) We have been super busy lately, luckily doing fun things!  Here is what we have been up too sorry it is kind of out of order.

My dad played in a band for Strawberry days this year! That's right folks, if you were in the park that night you were jammin' with him! Like I have said before, he is the coolest dad and papa around!

He plays the Keys

Mark Stone is a old friend of my dads they rock out together

Love the Tux shirts!


This is Tan Man a long time ago he knew what was cool to wear a tux t-shirt! He wants to be like his papa!



We all went to the park to watch dad play! Allen Tasha Bubba and Myself

Tanner got to change into his jammies cause we were out late
Family

We got the pass of all passes so we get to go to peaks often! If any of you have passes and want to go we would love to! 
Favorite two people in the whole world!

Me and the babes



Our perfect little family!

One of the times we went we got to go with the Stonehockers. Tanner, Me, Meg, and Kate

Ben enjoyed his fathers day this year! He says it is a made up holiday but I know he loves it! Here are two of the things Tanner gave him!

His favorite soda "pop"

Thank you pinterest!

Our cute cousin, Kate, had a carnival themed birthday party! Meg did a great job with the decorations and the cute food. I wish I had pictures of that, but I do have two of my munchkin with a clown nose! Man he is silly. Aunt Tasha had to pin him down for the pic! He hated it.



 We also went to the cabin this past weekend! Ben got off early on Thursday so we went there early. It was so nice to get away and be with family. Again, I wish I would take more pictures the only ones I snapped were these two of Tanner on the hammock.

As most of you know babies tend to wake up early. Most people like to sleep in on vacation so we took this little guy outside in the morning and had some fun reading books and playing on the hammock. This way we didn't wake up the lucky ones who were still sleeping!

Tanners 6 month stats are coming soon!

Team Tucker Strikes again!

My dad is truly someone to look up too! He decided that he wanted to run 50 miles. He ran a 50K not too long ago which was just a training for what was yet to come. He choose to do the 4th hardest 50 miler in the country, The SQUAW PEAK 50. He did amazing! My brother Conner ran the last 17 miles with him. We were grateful that Conner volunteered  because my dad said that had it not been for Conner he would not have made it. I can only imagine what the conversation between the two of them on those last 17 miles would have been like. I try and do 3.5 miles every morning and I feel exhausted when I am finished. I literally can not comprehend 50 miles. Here are the pictures from the exciting day.

Meg, Josh, Liz, Kate, Tanner, and myself met Tucker to refill his water and pack at the 26 mile marker. He was doing great and making great time! He said that seeing these kids was a welcome sight after 26 miles. Yes we all have TEAM TUCKER shirts! Man these kids love their PAPA


Waiting for PAPA

Looking good after 26 miles!




After that mile marker Ben and my mom drove Conner to meet him for the last 17 miles. 
We then all rallied at Vivian Park to wait for them to finish!

The gangs all here (minus Tal and Jess who couldnt make it)



 As you can see this was an amazing accomplishment and we were all very impressed. For those of you who know my dad, you know how great he is! He is always there to support us so it was nice to be able to be there to support him!
