More pictures of Idaho

Cute picture of Jake giving Meg a ride on the 4 wheeler. He loved riding that and was willing to give anyone that would go with him a ride. My darling 79 year old grandpa. He has not let his age stop him from doing anything. He stays so active and i just love him!

Soda Springs Idaho

We went up to Idaho this weekend to hang out with my grandparents. They bought a cute little home up there 3 years ago with my aunt and uncle so they invited us up to play! This is my dad with Ellie. We blew up water balloons and had a water fight with the kids. This is my little brother getting Tayler. My dad ended up winning that fight because he went for the hose.

My little Madi, stricking a pose.

The kids loved the tube. They were both so brave and tried everything we did up there.

Curt and Jace. I love these boys. They have alot of fun together.
C.J. and Shalise getting ready to take the wave runners out.

Isn't she cute? I love this girl! She takes after her mom and loves the water. She was so brave on these. I hardly got to drive them cuz I became her passenger but she would give me a nice ride.

Tayler, Leah, Madi and Meg having a great time on the boat.
Jace even wanted in on the fun. He also loved the water.

Kaycee giving Ellie and Meg a ride.

So between the four wheelers and the wave runners we kept busy all day fri and sat. Jake drove the four wheelers like a pro and he thought that was awesome. His favorite were the 4 wheelers and Madi loved the Waverunners and the boat so we just kept going back and forth. WE lived the life up there this weekend and I am so thankful for my relatives who spoil us. The view was so pretty from up there.

This is me and my grandpa who will be 80 next year. He is so fun to be around. I just love him. He can't seem to sit still for even a second so even though he was healing a bad knee he still was out riding the waverunners.

This 2 person bike turned into a 3 person bike because Madi wanted to join us on the ride. I had a blast with my siblings and the whole family that was there to join us. I have the kindest aunt and uncle who opened up there home to us and told us to just use whatever we wanted. Thanks for a great weekend. Life cannot get better then this!!!!!

Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake last week and had such a fun time. I went with my 2 sisters and our families, my aunt and uncle, my mom and grandma and some cousins. This is my newest nephew, Brevyn, playing in the sand. Jake and Madi riding in the tube.

Jake played in the sand for hours. My uncle taught him how to make those trees out of sand and he thought it was so cool.

The kids having fun with frosting.

My Best Friend, I love this man.

I love how clear the water is in Bear Lake, it is so pretty. YOu could walk out forever and still touch.

The kids getting burried my uncle Craig.



My grandmas dog, Libby. Madi carried her around everywhere

Brayden and his cousin Mckell. They had a fun time up there together and being so silly.
Curt and Jace. Curt just loves this kid and the feeling is mutual i think. They have such a fun time together and everytime Curt does something with him he always says, " again"

My niece Ellie turned 1

My brother and his wife threw a great party for their daughter last week. This is Brayden doing some trick off the diving board. Shalise made this cutest cake for Ellie. I thought this was so cute.

Madi and the birthday girl. Thanks for having us to the party C.J. and Shalise. You outdid yourself and we had a great time.

Manti

On our way home from St. George we stopped in Manti for one night so that Brayden and Curt could join up with the youth because they were having Youth Conference there this year. While Curt and Brayden were setting up there tents me and the other kids went to check this fun little city out. We came across this fun park that had so many new different toys there.

That evening after we ate at some little diner we joined up with Curt to watch the pageant. Brayden stayed back with the group he was with. The Manti pageant is very pretty.

I just want to say thanks to Shaye and CArol for letting me and the kids crash at your house. It was a fun overnighter and i think Manti is a fun little city but I don't think I could ever live there.

4th of July

We had a great day on Sat by going to Riverdale where I grew up and to celebrate the 4th of July and see all those friends you never see except for that one day a year. We went to the parade in the morning then up to the park for a carnival. After a little lunch Curt had to head into work but later that evening my family came over for some hotdogs and Smores on the fire. This is MAdi trying to stick one of those new gigantic marshmellows into her mouth. My cute brother and his cute wife at the parade, sorry Shalise the sun was right in your face.

Later that night we went back up to Riverdale park and watched there fireworks. This is our friends Shannon and Zach. The fireworks were great this year besides the fact we had debris landing on us from a bunch of the fireworks. I think Kaycee got pegged one time pretty good.

Nate, Karly and Brevyn. It was Brevyn's first 4th and he was a good boy the whole day!

The gang hanging out around the fire and visiting while we waited for it to be time to go to fireworks.

Me and my sisters(and Brev) at the parade.

Brayden was able to be in the parade this year and he threw out a good amount of candy our way

The cousins sitting together before the parade started except for lil Ellie, she hadn't made it there yet.

On Friday the Policeman and the Fireman played in there annual softball game but Curt didn't play because he has a torn muscle in his back but we went and watched and stuck around for the great BBQ they put on after for all the families. While we were there they started setting up a inflatable movie screen at the park so my kids talked me into staying to watch " monsters vs. Aliens" It was Riverdales first movie in the park and it ended up being really fun. It started about 9:30 and my kids enjoyed it alot. They also had a little raffle before it started with a bunch of fun prizes that different Riverdale stores had donated and I was one of the lucky winners. They called out my number and I won.... $75dollars to Walmart. So worth staying haha

Curt and CAsey. One of Curts great friends, Curt was the best cheerleader that night for his buddies, maybe next year you guys will win!!

St. George

We went to the Tuacahan while down in St. Geaorge and watched TArzan. It was so cute, Madi absolutly loved it. She wanted her picture taken with every character after the show.

We also took the kids to Toy story 3 while we were there and thats a cute show too. Ben and Jill joined us down there and we had a great time with them. Glad they could come down and hang out with us for a few days.

This is Madisons favorite person in the show.

Brayden is such my child that likes to make sure he stays in shape and eat healthy. I should learn from him. Him and Jake went and ran on the treadmills.

Curt, Ben (his dad) and Jake. I love my Jones boys. The kids gave grandpa that lil fan that is a mister so grandpa wouldn't get too hot in the sun down there.

Jake LOVES ping pong and is very good at it. He beat Brayden, Curt and Grandpa and was so proud of himself. He didn't think me and Madi were too fun to play against.

Our family with Tarzan and Jane.

Cute kids.

Us all hanging out at the pool. That is where we spent most of our time. We love St. George and go at least once a year. Ben doesn't like the water but was a great sport and got in for a bit to be with the kids. I love that my kids are old enough to swim by themselves now and I could sit and watch and read from the side. I can't wait to get back there again next year!!!
