The Cabin in September

We cruised up to the cabin Saturday when we got there Ryan already had a good start on the mowing. Dad and Blake worked hard to get all of the stain on so we could play the rest of our little vacation. While mom Suz and I got painting the furniture in my room black :) Eek! So exciting! The furniture in our room is my old stuff from when I was a kid. (It needed a little pick me up) and now we added another nice bed from Blake. So we have plenty of comfiness to go around for our little family to stay. Mom only had to run into Montpelier once to get more paint..sorry mom. We got all of our work done and relaxed the rest of the night.

 

The kids had a ball running and playing pretend. I love to watch them play (when they aren't fighting).

 

Sunday we were able to go on a fabulous ride none have us had been on. It was beautiful.

 

We came upon this darling working guest Ranch and met some people from back east that were staying for a month to ride horses, run cows and what not for a vacation. I totally want to come stay! ..too bad Blake is allergic to horses:( 

All and all it was a fantastic trip to Idaho.

First Day of School

Livia & Nash on the first day of school.

They both are so excited and ready for another school year!

Yay, North Park Owls:)

The Fair

Our family enjoys the Fair when it comes around. The food, the rides, the, booths, the people, and the rodeo {sad we didn't even make it to the rodeo this year:(}.

 

Liv, Nash & Riah entered one of their art projects from Vicki Rhodes summer class. They loved seeing their pieces displayed and were so excited about the ribbons! A BIG thanks to Vicki, we will definitely keep participating in that! :)

They all did such a good job! Nash did the catapiller, Liv the fish, and Riah the butterfly.

Dancing with Avery at the bandstand.:)

Fair Days Parade

It is Fair time again! :) Oh I just love it! Livia was in the parade with Vadel's this year. She did awesome as usual! GO Liv! She certainly had a good bunch cheering her on!

This one of Zeke in Nash's cowboy hat is hilarious!

Thank goodness for the Popsicle had outs, it was so hot!

No training wheels

Vacation with the Sisters

I am so glad that we were all able to take a weekend and spend it together playing on the lake!!

We had such a blast :) We went down to Bullhead, AZ and stayed at our grandma's vaca home, went boating to Lake Mohave like every day...it was HOT but perfect on the water! We were all pretty tuckered out by the end of each day from boating that we pretty much crashed at night.

We cruised over to Laughlin, NV for dinner at Salt Grass the last night there.
Such a good restaurant on the river..yum!

Thanks sisters, hubby's & cousins for such a fabulous weekend!

We enjoyed your company so much. Love you to pieces.

Swimming Lessons

Liv and Nash took swim lessons from Talana Stokes this year. They were over the top excited!

I wish I had a pool in my back yard...hmmm...

Bailey & Arnell Luncheon

My Grandparents & their close friends the Bailey's hosted a luncheon in their back yard the day after Suzie's wedding since everything could be left up and looked so gorgeous. It was fun to meet all of their friends that attended. They sure know how to through a nice party. I am glad I was able to take a few pictures of the party and share them with my gram.

I secretly wish I could have lived in their generation. Such a difference in mannerism. I wasn't surprised to hear this but am still amazed that my grandmother received a personal thank you in the mail from every guest after the party!!? Why does no one do this anymore.(including myself)  Now you're lucky to even get an RSVP back from your guests who may or may not be attending...am I right? It makes all the difference in my opinion. I hope to remember this the next time I am invited to a party, but I have to be honest what in the world will I be invited to any day soon?..ha:)

Grandma wanted to take a few shots of the family. We were missing a few people who had already left but I guess you take what you can get:)

Girls Day

Mom Bec Shel Suz & I went and got Pedi's for Suzies Wedding.

It was so fun to gab with the girls and get excited for the Big Day!

24th of July

We love to participate in the Bear River City Celebrations for Pioneer Day. We heart BR.

My amazing mom & Suzie helped all the kids decorate their bike for the parade the night before, I had planned on it but life through us a curve ball and Blake was in the hospital. So I only ventured out to watch them in the parade and take some pictures. Thanks so much mom & Suz, love you.

Here are some of the other floats and participants I caught a pic of.:)
