Utah

Devin flew into Boise hours before we drove down to Utah to baptize Brynlee.  We had such a beautiful baptism.  The lucky girl had both families there to support her and love on her.  She wasn't nervous at all and after hours of preparation and reading the Book of Mormon, she was so ready and just pure excited!  She looked beautiful.  Her Grandma's gave the talk and she was baptized by her dad.  Then we had a luncheon at the Beans and had fun all talking together over good food.  Well I if I had to do it over, i would have re done the food.  But the day went so smoothly! We quickly toured the MTC with Braiden and Morgan before heading out.  On the way home we stopped at Moab and took a hike around.  It was a good break!

Boise Trip

After Rigby we went to Boise to spend a few days.  We were again crammed pack with fun activities and cousin time!  We even got to go goofy golfing for the first time and ride the big blue bus around Eagle!  Olivia helped me drive the 29 hours to Rigby and by this point I was so tired of driving but the kids were finally old enough that the trip was still fun and doable!  It is so fun to watch the kids enjoy everything I grew up doing!

Rigby Trip

One of my favorite spots on this Earth is the cabin on the Snake River at Island Park.  It is just gorgeous!  I was so glad to visit up there even if it was just for a second!  We were on our way to go see the Little Mermaid play up at Yellowstone with Alisha and her kids!

The kids enjoyed a day on the farm and then I basically didn't see them the whole time.  They were all over the farm with their cousins!

We were introduced to the world of huckleberry picking which was way more fun than I thought!  And then the kids got to have a trampoline sleep over outside that night!  I don't think anyone made it through the night without bailing and coming in!

We loved spending time in Idaho and so happy to see so many family and friends!

Lake LBJ

The Webbs are one of the families that you can never get enough of.  They are so fun and the bonus is we are related!  Anyways, they moved to San Antonio and we asked if they wanted to meet us at a boat house on lake LBJ.  This house had the most amazing boat dock with a two story rope swing and a slide.  We took our boat and enjoyed hours of boating, and talking on the top deck of the boat dock soaping up the sun and scenery.  What a fun weekend and the adults went night boating!  The kids slept all together in the living room on pull out couches and could of spent a whole other week jumping into the water on the dock!  My favorite was staying up late talking on the dock with a full moon.

Summer Part 2

We are basically on the boat every weekend.  Carson and Tanner usually join us and it is so fun to watch Brynlee and Teddy learn so quickly.  Brynlee can get up on the board and cross the wake and Teddy can get up on the wake board.  We had a lemonade stand that produced a woppin' 125 dollars!  It was almost embarrassing how much money they "earned" and we decided it is a once a summer kind of deal!  Amy invited me to the Austin Fashion show to watch her friend.  It was so fun to eat at Clay Pit and have a fun night out.  We have gone down to Austin a few times and had fun exploring.

We went to San Antonio for Brad and Nicole's baby's blessing.  It was short and sweet and we always love hanging out with them.  They are in their last year of dental school and it was fun to have them stay at our house one more time before they will be heading to Utah to his Dad's practice.

Devin took a quick flight home for Scott's Mom's funeral and went to Big Jud's and the cabin and hung out with family and friends for a weekend right during Poppy Festival.  I braved the parade with the kids and they basically whined and cried the whole time!

The office cereal picture needs to be explained.  Teddy tried to convince a babysitter that his room was in the toy room and that his mom and dad want his to go to sleep there.  So the next morning I told Teddy that the office was the kitchen and he had to eat by himself in the office for the morning!

We spent a few times at San Gabriel's park with the Bowcuts enjoying beautiful nights walking along the river and talking!
