Over the summer we went to Pineview Resevoir a few times. We love going to pineview and hanging out. The kids have so much fun playing in the water and sand. This year we took up a little BBQ and cooked hamburgers on the Beach. I always look forward to going to pineview every year with our family! This year our Nephew Daniel from California got to come with us.

Over the 4th of July we were invited to go swimming at our neighbor's brother house! We had so much fun! The kids did not want to get out! I remember how much I loved swimming when I was a kid. Our neighbors across the street had a pool and we would go swimming for hours, almost every day in the summer. Everytime I swim now as an adult it reminds me of those days! This was a fun day!

Boring summer day made fun!.....1. a laundry hamper with wheels! 2. a big sister that will play with you for hours! 3. a very creative mind to think up a great idea! .....This was one of those boring summer days!

I told Jaxen not to eat the brownies until the kids got home from school! I am getting ready and go into the kitchen and GUESS WHAT? Jaxen ate the brownies! I asked him...did you eat a brownie? Jaxen says "NOPE!" Thing is there was brownie all over his face! I asked him again did you eat a brownie? Jaxen says "Maybe...Kinda!...ummm NOPE!" I hurry and took a picture and showed him. Bud next time hide the evidence!

Jeff has been out of town the last few weeks. My mom had baked a turkey for dinner one night after he left. I had to work all day and I cam home to a nice turkey dinner. The kids made menu's and covered the bar to look like there own cafe! My kids are the best! Love my Babies!

On our way home from the Cabin at Island Park, we stopped at the Indian REservation! Jake is still obsessed with Indians, we are going on a year now. It is so exciting though to watch his love for different cultures. We have read so many Indian books....he has taught me so much because of his love for the Native American people! Even more exciting for his is Jeff's Grandpa is Cherokee indian. Jake is currently saving up money to go to South Dakota to the Indian Pow-wow there! I love you Jake!

I really need to keep up and continue to update our family blog! I just read all the way to the first of our blog and enjoyed reading it. The kids are getting so big- they use to be so little. Ok now where do I start? I have so much to catch up on that we did over the summer! I guess I will start with our fun summer trip to the Cabin. My mom takes us all to stay in a cabin at Island Park, Idaho every summer! We have so much fun! So SO SO SO much fun! This year my nephew Daniel (from California!) flew in the day before and went with us! It was really kinda weird how it worked out with Daniel...Jeff and I was talking a few days before; saying how we needed to get to know both are nephews from california better. We were talking about how we wished we had the time to visit california more! The next day I had a call from Jeff's brother Greg, saying that he thought it would be fun for Daniel to come visit! I told him we were leaving for the Cabin to see if he could come tomorrow. He got a flight out and was on his way the next day. The kids were so excited and made him a poster welcoming him to Utah. The next morning we were off to the Cabin. We had so much fun! We went fishing in the dark, late the first night. My mom paid for all of us to go River Rafting down the Snake River. This was so much fun! We stopped and swung from a rope attached to a tree and swung in the River. Brrrr the water was cold...but so much fun. We had pizza at a really yummy small cafe next to the River. That is the best pizza I have ever had in my life! Next day we took the Kids and Daniel to Yellowstone. Yellowstone is one of my favorite places to visit! I think it is the most beautiful place in the world. It amazing that God created this world and all the animals....so perfect! Makes me wonder what heaven will be like! (you'll have to let me know I may never see it! ha! ha!). My sister and Hank (her hubby) brought up the four-wheelers and we rode them. My sister had a surprise, she had put all of the old old videos (wasnt even a video-cant remember what they called those projectors back in the day) she went and got them transfered to a DVD for us to watch. My brother could not make it this year! We sure did miss him! Ok so now for all the pictures! Enjoy!
