Summer Fun

This summer we have spent a lot of time outside!

 We were able to travel to Utah to see these two cute babes be sealed to their eternal family.

 Got all our dentist and doctor appointments done before school started back up.

 Sand Dunes

We had so much fun together this summer doing so many fun things. I am glad we are able to do so many neat things.

Brayden's Birthday

Happy Birthday to our sweet Brayden Boy. He turned 13 this year. We let the kids choose their birthday dinner and birthday cake. He ended up choosing Big Judd's for dinner an Oreo ice cream cake to share at his party.

 We had family over to help celebrate!

We couldn't be more proud of the fine young man he is growing into. I am excited to see how he grows and changes this next upcoming year.

Blue Angels

So it is always neat when the Blue Angels come to town. This is the second show we have been able to attend. The last time they came I was 8 months pregnant with Alayna. We were able to go to the Museum and do a meet and greet with a pilot.  It was neat hearing background info on preparations and travel for these guys. So we met Lance the pilot for plane #4.

 We spent most of the day at the airport watching the air show and then the blue angels show.

 These last few pictures were shared with me after the show was finished and I thought I would include them for you all to see.

I feel it was much better organized this year. The previous time they were here it was a headache. We were able to park at a close location and catch a bus to the airport which made the transitions much easier. Can't wait to see them when they come again!

July 4th

The week leading up to the 4th of July was fun with neighborhood parties and fireworks. This was our first year we were able to attend the neighborhood block party and our friends sure know how to put on a show. On the morning of the 4th our neighborhood also does a pancake breakfast which we helped with this year.

 Josh and Brayden lighting off our own fireworks.

All ready to watch the parade and the planes fly over. After the parade we spent the afternoon playing at Grandma's and having dutch oven ribs and potatoes.

 We went down to the Snake River Landing where the fireworks were moved to this year. There were a lot of people but it was so worth going down there to watch them.

 Alayna has never liked loud noises and always covers her ears.

 

We had a great time hanging out with some family that came in to town as well! The 4th was fun and everyone enjoyed the day.
