New BLOG

If you would like to continue following our family we are changing our blog. There is a very good explanation for this, as we will soon have a boy join our family, and all my daughters does not cut it anymore. Feel free to visit the new blog, and change your savings to view it whenever you like. We will certainly update it more often.

Thanks

First Day of School

The girls were very excited to start the First Day of School. Kelli is in 4th grade, Emma is in 3rd, Lindee is in 1st, and Jaden joined us this year in Kindergarten. Everyone got fabulous teachers, and we are excited to see what the year brings. Camille is not very happy about being at home with just Riesse, but we will figure that one out.

7/11 at Seven Eleven: Free Slushie Day

So many states...so little time.

My children have long been excited to be in 2 places at one time, although there is debate in the house whether they manage that as a constant while running around all day. On our recent vacation we travelled through many states (we did not get a picture of Wyoming). When we got to Nevada/Arizona State line the kids got out, and one by one they stood in 2 places at one time, Nevada and Arizona. Can you guess what movie they got this idea from? You can see their accomplishment on each of their own blog pages. =)

4th of July: Idaho

Waiting for the parade to start.

Waiting for the fireworks.

Mesa, in her life vest...too cute.

Before the life vest, she kept wanting to go in the river...she couldn't get her mind off of the fun.

Evan loved the river too...

Stick em up!

They loved the slip in slide...so did I, but there are no pictures of that. =)

Family 4th of July: Matchy Matchy

Evan loves candy!

Simply Mesa, this is how I remember her, I am gonna be shocked next time I see her.

The 4th of July was a blast in Idaho. We started out with a Parade in Rupert? Then we went to the Inlaw's house for some water fun. There was a play pool, a homemade slip in slide (awesome!) and there was a river in the backyard. Its amazing that rivers in other states actually have water in them. We finished the day off with some private fireworks that were better than most professional events I've seen. We were tired but the day was amazing.

**I realize the photos are backwards, but I can't quite remember how to post them in order with blogger....please forgive me.

Visiting Idaho

Hay rolls on the way there.

View from Tyler's parents house, just beautiful.

Kaden, round 2 popsicles. =)

Playing in Grandpa's yard.

The neighbor had kittens the kids played with for a bit. They were adorable.

Evan round 4, popsicles...=)

On our vacation we visited Amy, one of the best friends I have ever had. She moved away about 2 weeks before, and we wanted to see the Moore's, but also to see this new/old life they were living. We realized Idaho was absolutely beautiful...and we have not had that much fun in a very long time. We really enjoyed every moment spent, and can't wait to visit again.
