    Holli invited us to join her in a weekend camping trip to Stone.  Heather packed up her camper and we packed up Gary's boat and headed to Stone Thursday night.  To say it was a rough night would be a great understatement!  About 4:30 a.m. Keagan finally fell asleep from exhaustion from crying the entire night!  The rest of the camper sighed with relief and finally fell asleep as well.  Morning came way too early, come 7:00 a.m. Keagan was up and ready to go for the day!  Good thing there was plenty of kids to ride bikes, play in the pool and just run around with.  The kids had so much fun going non-stop the whole time!  Kabree got to ride the tube with Aunt Heather and even got to take a turn riding with Hanna and Justice.  Shawn, Eric, Troy and Wendy all came Friday night but due to our un-restful previous night we packed up and headed home.  

    Due to a LOT of persuasion from family and a 5 year old with the most pitiful blue eyes we packed up for a day trip to Stone for Saturday.  The girls jumped right in to more bike riding and pool fun!  Troy grabbed our family and took us on a quick boat ride for Zach and Troy to take a turn skiing.  Keagan did the honors of driving Uncle Shawns boat!  She thought she was in charge and kept saying "Shawn, no Shawn" when Shawn would try to drive the boat.  She even tried to gun it a few times!  Needless to say it will be awhile before little Miss sits on Shawns lap again in a ski boat : )!  After Zach skied he took the girls to play in the water by the dock.  Keagan LOVED jumping off the dock to Zach and would laugh and giggle every time she jumped!

    Though it was rough at times and not quite the restful camping trip this Mommy was hoping for we still enjoyed spending time with family and the girls had a blast.  Thanks for the invite Holli!

    We had a great 4th of July this year!  We kicked off the day with the parade; which Matt and Heather got heir a hour and a half early and saved everyone seats!!!!  It was a very packed, very hot, very long parade!!!!  We got lots of candy and had fun but were very ready to jump into our air conditioned cars when it was done!  The kiddos cooled off running through the sprinklers while Zach grilled up some of his bacon burgers.  We all squeezed in a quick nap and then back to Heathers for pizza.  We all went to ICCU parking lot to watch the fireworks, which was perfect!  Hardly anyone else was there, we could see the fireworks great and no loud booms to scare our timid Keagan.  We ended the night with fireworks and s'mores at Heathers.  The kids had a blast and hit their beds like bricks at midnight!  Thanks for the fun day Matt and Heather!!!

    The girls and I got to go to the Pocatello Zoo with some of our family.  We are Zoo junkies so when ever someone invites us we are game!  Justice and Hanna got to join us this trip and Lynden got to bring her friend Payten too!  The girls were excited to go with Grandma Sally and some of their cousins and waiting until the Zoo opened made for a long morning : )!  As always we had a great time and loved the Zoo.  The kids LOVED the bear exhibit; which was pretty amazing, and the bear even walked right up against the window.  They also thought the white fox was pretty cool.  The kids thought the big tree house at the end was pretty great and they all had to take a turn on the slide.  They thought the giant spider web was pretty fun too!  Thanks for the invite Aunt Sandra we had a blast!
