ND 2010

We had a great 2 weeks that flew by, I think I took like 600 pics so here's a tiny few of my favorites!

Celebrated my sisters Birthday!

We swam, A LOT that day!

Lexi!

Lilly!

My baby just shy of 11 mos.

Sisters!

the smell of Fish apparently make us happy!

took a drive out in the country.

lots of pics with my QT's!

We enjoyed a cute little ice cream shop.

The kids had a blast at the Fish Hatchery.

Aunt Shelby took the kids to see a movie while Nana and mom shopped!

We ate awesome food all over the place!

(pretty sure I never need to eat again!)

got to spend time with my brother!

We did so much, it was a go go go visit and had a blast every step of the way! Thanks mom for a great visit!!

This beautiful home has been whats keeping our home quiet and lonely.... Chris had been gone 6 weeks at the beginning of summer, came home for 2, we weren't ready to be lonely again so me and the kids packed up and hit the road with him! What better way to reconnect and spend some quality time together than a 16 hour straight road trip??? Ha sarcasm people geez! Really though it wasn't bad at all, guess our kids are used to it by now! Anyway my mom only lives a few hours from where Chris is working so that's where the kids and I played for 2 weeks!

Lilly willing to get out and pose anywhere!

There were many of these....pit stops!

Lotsa driving and enjoying beautiful Montana!

Lotsa time wanting to throw "Tom-tom" out the window cause the miles seemed to never go down...

a few of these....

then we made it here!

Boom, BOOM day 2010

This year we stayed home for the 4th and it was definitely our best 4th yet in Idaho! The weather was PERFECT, which makes for a happy mom! We started the weekend off Saturday morning watching the parade, which was better than previous years, when that ended we literally turned around and walked about 2 feet to the park! We usually do a quick stroll through cause its hot but like I said perfect weather which made for an afternoon of enjoying all the fun things the park had to offer!

The kids played lots of games with their cousin Riley, rode horses, snuggled on a baby Kangaroo, sodas, yummy food, bounce houses, firetrucks, water, soaked clothes...

Our friends Katie and Rob hosted a super fun BBQ at their home for everyone to enjoy! They are such awesome sports considering they were leaving for Disney WORLD the next day!

We only had one "incident" the whole weekend and of course it was one of my own.... Preston stepped on a lit sparkler. Good thing we had our own personal fireman on board, thanks Will!!

( it's been almost a month now and it's just about healed up!)

I loved every bit of our weekend, making incredible memories with our kids and being around such great people!

Rafting 2010

Chris and I got to sneak off without the kids one Friday afternoon to hit the river!! It was a blast as usual and even funnier with a few of the "newbies" that had never gone before!

Here's my Uncle who was visiting from AZ, who had never been on a kayak!

My other Uncle who's the "pro" out of us all!

and our good friend Dave!

I'm pretty sure everyone laughed til they cried when they saw this pic, we all know Daves hilarious but man this was some funny stuff!!

Chris!

us girls playing it safe on the raft!

What a fun day! Can't wait to go again!

BBQ's are good for the soul!

It's no secret I love me some BBQs...

the being outside...

decorating...

the food...

my babies in the water...

awesome weather...

and great company!

Dads home/ Fathers day!

Chris got home the Friday evening before Fathers Day and surprised the kids when they walked through the door from swimming lessons with lots of loving and new bikes!

He was there all of 20 minutes after a 16 hour drive when he loaded everyone up and their new bikes and took them down to the school to ride around the track!

Saturday the Farrells had an "Oscar Mayer" bbq...Preston enjoying annoying everyone (I'm sure!) with his wiener mobile whistle!

I just love this picture...it's the kids' gifts to Chris for Fathers Day, they each picked out their own bag and it just speaks volumes! Lilly's is the trophy bag and she truly believes he can do anything and is the best at it, Prestons...well anything that he loves he absolutely thinks Chris will love it too and Lexi's just fits her perfect, a daddy's girl!
