Bear Lake and Trout Farm

For the 24th of July weekend, we went camping to the very popular Bear Lake. While we were there for the 3 days, we ran into 6 families, including neighbors, brothers, and friends. Who knew everyone was going to BearLake?


A few campsites over were our neighbors, the McCleans. Good thing Cameron didn't miss out on hangin' with his friends while were gone.

The Larsens and our family hiked the Minnetonka Cave. The kids were pretty concerned about bats attacking.

Like everyone else's, our summer is flying by. For Family Home Evening, the Bakers and our family went fishing to the North Ogden trout farm. My kids were a little uneasy about the wiggly fish. Cameron was too worried about if the fish were going to die and who was going to eat them. He does have a sensitive heart for living creatures. Mitch definitely doesn't give into peer pressure. I guess we need to go fishing a little more often.

A Kids Life


How could a kid's life be so easy going. Cameron is running and playing, doing who knows what, from seven in the morning until nine at night. This kid is a pack rat. He collects everything. If I am not watching close he will load up all of his toys in his wagon and head down the road. If I dare throw any of his treasures away, I have to hide it at the bottom of the garbage so he won't find it, including cow bones he digs up in the back field. He prefers to dress himself, and he has already caught the The Heat Stroke twice this summer. Here is a recap of just a few of his summer events. The above picture is camping with the Larsens and Merrells in Idaho.

Our annual family home evening hike and picnic up Ben Lomond Peak. Let's just say we didn't make it quite to the top, but who's counting.


He took first place at the Elwood town fourth of July bike race. He took it pretty serious. He even beat kids in the upper division.

Preschool graduation.... Miss Janna
Kindergarten next year


This was probably his favorite event yet. With a lot of determination (and a hot dog at the end of a stick), he caught his first crawdad at Sandwash Lake in Bluebell Utah. He was named Crabby Hot dog Roylance. He became Cameron's best friend for the next two days. He chased all the neighbor girls and cousins with it. After being dropped on the cement 15 times and his pincher falling off, it was a sad day when he was laid to rest in Farr West, Ut.


Grandma and Grandpa Roberts' new batch of kittens.


This was the first heat stroke episode. Rarely do you seem him slow down, let alone fall asleep in the day. When I found him asleep in the middle of the driveway with all the neighbor kids playing around him I knew he wasn't up to par... My fault

Dinosaur Park

One of his many cuts and scrapes. This one he received at the Hogle zoo. He had to stop the bleeding with a wet wipe. Back on his feet before no time.

Camping with the Preston and Brandon Roylance families

First year of baseball and he loved it. Just finished soccer and is currently in swimming.


Cameron and Mitch built an ant farm. Supposedly they all died, probably wandered off, so they made several grave stones in remeberance.
