While the girls are away the boys will play!!

On Friday Uncle Ty and Aunt Whitney took Keri and Dru camping up at Tony's Grove in Logan Canyon. It was a little bit weird just having the boys but when I came up stairs I found a bunch of shirtless wrestlers! We did have a lot of fun and the girls especially had a blast. I don't know if Whitney has her pictures up on her blog yet but check out the link to her blog to see the pictures of the girls camping trip.

Plant Explosion!!

I can't tell you how thankful that my husband has a very green thumb. He does such a good job designing and putting plants together that look good together. One of our favorite things to do is walk around together early in the morning and look at all the plants and their progress. Our yard has so many beautiful things blooming right now I can't help but show you a few!!

Fun 4th!!

I don't have too many pictures of the 4th but we sure had a fun time with family. Joe and Meghan came from Colorado, Whit and Ty from Logan, Robin came from Bountiful and my parents came on Friday night for a barbeque. On saturday Whit and I woke up super early after a night of Wii tounamenting and ran a 5K for me and 10k for her. It was fun when we finished and Travis surprised me by showing up at the end with all the kids in their pajamas. Then went to the Lewiston parade where for the first year my kids were competetive in getting the candy (which is exciting) and then finished the afternoon by rafting the Bear River. It really was so fun!! Thanks for coming up you guys!!

PEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a picture that truly suites Levi's personality. He loves throwing food at his mom. I've even had a couple bottles bounce off this cranium. I don't know why he thinks it is so funny.




Here are the first fruits from the garden. For family night we weeded the garden and picked peas. Too bad none of them even made it to the kitchen. At least my kids like vegetables!!

Fun Saturday

Yesterday we had a good time just taking it easy. First of all we went on a drive in the morning up to Grace Idaho to the Black Fork River. There was this awesome bridge that was kind of scary to cross. The river kind of ripples as it goes because it is where lava once flowed. (I don't know if that even made any sense). Then we came home and Dad made a slip and slide for kids. Levi wasn't really interested but Dad decided to bowl him down it one time anyway. We ended the night with fireworks for Idaho Days in Franklin. It was nice to have Travis all to ourselves for one day.

The Dare

The other night Travis dared the kids to jump into the raft filled with freezing hose water and put their heads under. It was about 7:30 at night and wasn't very warm outside so I was surprised they did it but they got to run inside to a hot shower afterwards. Way to go Crazy Kids!!

Ice Cream

Last Saturday we had Whit and Ty up for a BBQ and Travis made homemade ice cream. We were all very impressed because it was so thick. He made Vanilla with raspberries and maderine oranges in it. It was soooo good and even better after being frozen in the freezer!! Way to go Babe!!!

Travis the Cop???

It is official, Travis is the new copper in town. He was chosen to be a reserve cop which means he has to volunteer about 20 hours a month for now. It is really official because he has to carry a gun and have a bunch of training and stuff like being pepper sprayed and tased (kind of scary). He was even featured in the paper. We are so proud of him! Way to go Babe!

Happy Birthday Travis!!!

For Dad's Birthday this year we took the kids to the zoo and had a blast. Then later that night we dropped the kids off at Aunt Robin's house and met Uncle Darrick and Aunt Alisha for dinner at Toucanos. Then we hit a very exciting Bee's game. It was so much fun and the weather was perfect. Thanks for watching the kids Robin and Happy 33rd Birthday Travis. We love you so much and are so thankful you are such a good husband and father!!!!

Happy Birthday Kaleb!!

Our little boy is 4 years old and I can't hardly believe it. I started the day early with a beautiful sun rise and the girls soon followed. They made breakfast in Bed for Kaleb but as we were taking it down to him he met us on the stairs and told us he had an accident. So instead of breakfast in bed he had breakfast in the tub and I fed him. Later on we had a little party for him with Uncle Ty and Aunt Whitney and our friends the Royers stopped by too. It turned out to be a nice day and Kaleb finally got the toy he has wanted for years, a buzz light year doll. It was so cute this morning when he stumbled up the stairs to our room with Buzz in hand the first thing he said was "Me and Buzz had a good sleep." We just love this boy!!
