July

July was full of adventures, shopping and the first day of a new school year! 
Jesse and Aleah!
(I might or might not have hijacked this from his FB page) 
 7th grade here she comes!
She's a Freshman! Say what? She's a FRESHMAN!!!
 Oh my goodness...He's a SENIOR!!!
 Freshman Sunrise...yep, I got up at 4:30am so that Mariah could attend Freshman Sunrise (didn't leave the house until 5:25am, I was super afraid that we'd oversleep and she would miss it that I think I slept with one eye open.)
Thankful for small things that remind me of His love and light.
 On the 4th of July Jasonand I hiked the hills near San Franscisco. It was beautiful! We got see to see a few fireworks, but were to far to take pics. 
 What can I say...she caught me.
Fun at camp! Can't believe that they were gone over the 4th of July. They had a great time tough!!
 The guys formed a line and quickly unloades the U-Haul. 
 Fresh of the bus!
Missed them so much!
 Jason,the pups and I went up by Gold Lakes.
 Took a long hike, some amazingly beautiful sights!
 Deer Lake
We took a break, played in the water and had lunch.
 Jason made it to the top, I took maybe 5, okay closer to 2.5 steps, freaked and turned around.
 If you look close you can see Jason in the left corner of the firewatch sation. 
 The pups sat close by me looking intently up at the staircase waiting for Jason. You can me as a spec on the ground in the lower right picture.
 Headed home as the sun was setting. It was a full, fun and tiring day.
My beauties and I went to the Sacramento Temple! The turkeys seemed to enjoy their time there too.
Loon Lake
Camped on the trail at Buck Island. It was so beautiful!
 Great trip to the Rubicon! Had a lot of fun meeting new people, camping, and being with my love and beauiful daughter!
Time for class....last one.

June

 June has been a great month, we celebrated a special birthday, final days of school (the end of Junior High for our beauty Mariah), our Anniversary and lots of fun adventures. I know that my kids are getting older and soon will leave home for adventures of their own, until then I am going drag them along on our adventures and spend as much time with them as I possibly can.

Happy Birthday Jesse! Can't believe my boy is 19~ we went out to dinner to celebrate and here is a shocker and huge disappointment...I did not get a single picture :(. 
I love these girls! Am so proud to be their mom!
Had a wonderful ride with my love!
I can never get enough of this beautiful world that the Lord has given to us. I am so thankful for the opprotunity to enjoy and explore it.
The girls left for Girls Camp! MJs first year. I am going to miss them like crazy.
MJs first talk in Church! She did a great job!
<3 The Lopez Chicks! Love my beauties!
Took the girls and the pups to the ocean! It was so nice to get out of the heat.
<3 my family and my life!
Pups are getting so big!
Signal Peak trip. The pups had a lot of fun.
First trip to the Oakland Temple with my beauties! When we were finished we went to lunch at Fentons Creamery.
