June 2009- With the "Older Kids" in the Bahamas
Swam with the dolphins that were rescued from Hurricane Katrina
A view from the room in the "Cove Tower"
T&J...Just like when they were 1 and 2. They were fighting over the tub to get warm after they got caught in a thunder storm. Some things never change!
Big Kiddos with Pops
All growing up so fast
July 4th, a typical swim-BBQ with the Baker Clan
Brynn and my beautiful niece; Oh and my husband...adding so much to this pic!
Makenna looking so festive
Da Pool...And these scenes are typical from our gatherings 
Austin with his cousins, Trevor and Braden...getting ready for a nerf gun atttack
Josh and Greg trying to be like superman flying off the diving board, while trying to catch a football while Kirk or one of their uncles throws it. This can be quite an intensive and competive event.
Austin Baptism Day, July 11th...Is he really 8?
Mammoth...In August.
Every summer I would go when we had the Baker Family condo (I miss that place). We still go every winter to ski, but this was the first time in 5 yrs I went in the summer. I am a real beach person, but I forgot how much I love the mountains too, nothing like fresh mountain and blue sky's.
The boys down the canyon on their annual back packing trip.
After the back packing trip, we met up with them in town
This is a view from the top of Mammoth Mtn, where we usually ski from.
Still snow left for a summer snow fight.
Josh and I on a hike near Devil's Post Pile.
With Brynn, thanks for the cute Pic Matt.
Lake Mary...Brynn's first time to Mammoth.
-------------------------------------------------------
Then, In a day we from the Mountains to the Beach.
Tiff flew home after summer school finals; she got her skim boarding on with "Daddy" just like the good old days
Kirk teachimg his 4th and final child how to skim board
Greg, being a sweet big bro and helping Austin looking for crabs
Back at the hotel at Newport Coast, I just love it down there. Almost had my husband convinced to move there...Then the Economy tanked, that ruined that idea (at least for now). I guess it just makes it more special to visit (grumble-grumble), especially since my brother Matt lives there.

Kirk: "Hey boys if someone told you to jump off a cliff (into a blow hole) would you do it?."
