The fun continues...

We toured the Hill Space Museum and ventured out to dinner at Carter's favorite place "Famous Dave's BBQ". Uncle Mike (Matt's twin) told Carter if people didn't like the food Carter would have to pay for dinner. So, if you know Carter he was stressed about people not liking dinner, but it turned out everybody was happy. Carter was relieved. Thanks for the fun visit and we can't wait to visit the East Coast next summer.

Visitors...

We had the best time enjoying our visitors this summer. The kids got to see their cousins they haven't seen for 2 years. We had some exciting days and the kids are still talking about their visit. We started out with a family BBQ that included Craig and Gail's family, Aunt Tracy and Matt's parents. We definitely had a house full of people along with some uninvited guests...yup..flies. I guess they just come along with the doors being left open and yummy food all around. We then played all day at Lagoon. It was a little busy, but we managed to have fun riding all the rides with everyone.

Annual Cabin Adventure

The boys had a great time at their annual cabin trip. Other than a few stiches in poor Griffin's leg, all the boys returned home safely. My sweet mom and brother came to visit Ashlynn and I while the boys were at play. We had fun playing games and my mom made Ashlynn cute flowers for her hair. Thanks for the visit mom!

Retirement Party

We made a quick trip to Boise to attend Matt's dads retirement party. We also got to visit with the Peterson family that were visiting from New Hampshire.

Another summer day...

I forgot I made this collage a few weeks ago. This is another favorite spot of ours in the summer...Lagoon! We always have a lots of laughs and smiles on our faces at Lagoon.

The day has finally come...

Our little girl has been waiting to start real school for some time now. She is so happy that she can go to the same school as Carter and feel big like him. She was excited to take her new Hello Kitty backpack and show off her new sandals. Ashlynn was wondering who her new friends are going to be. I love her optimism! On the second day of school she wanted to walk to class all by herself. I know that doesn't sound too difficult, but her class has to walk to the back of school to their own class door. Now the nervous part is she has to walk past 2 playgrounds to get to her door. Oh, I know the temptation is there, but she was given strict instructions to not stop and play. She loves her class and teacher. We are so proud of her and she is going to have an exiting year!

Bear Lake Outing

We spent the 24th of July holiday at Bear Lake. It was sunny with a slight breeze to cool us off. The water was great and fun to take the water toys out in. We just love this place! We finally got an umbrella to provide a little shade during our Bear Lake adventures. It definitely came in handy.
