The Wright Family: July

Cutie Pie Laila turned 3 months!

Cute little yellow people at the mall

On our way to Blacktail. I always love the fields and the view on the drive. (I don't really care for the windmills though)

Wakeboarding together with my little sis Kathleen! It was a lot of fun!

4th of July pics!

We've been trying to cram in a bunch of Summer like we always do! Here we are at the splash park in Rexburg and riding the carousel

Cute little Laila can sit up in her Bumbo now :) She's a curious little thing and loves to look around and explore. She even started rolling around this month! I had to shut the baby gate on the stairs because she will get around so easily by rolling and even get stuck under furniture!

Kids having a pretend dinner at the table

Love these cute little baby crochet sandals attached to those adorable chubby legs and tiny feet!

Uh Oh! We have a Thumb Sucker! Its just so adorable though!

Hailee always changes her clothes multiple times a day- but here's a new one! Dallin's church clothes!

We took a trip to Canada this month because we visited our friends up there who have a potential job offer for Kyle. It was a really fun trip and the kids had fun too!
The drive up there was so beautiful!

On our drive we hit 100,000 miles on our van

At a random gas station up in Shelby, Montana, we found one of Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s old race cars!

At the Canadian border

Our destination! Middle of nowhere Canada :)

This was our sleeping quarters at our friends' house. All the kids did so good- even Laila!

Went to a bigger town, Medicine Hat, to the Canadian Superstore for our authentic Canadian experience :)

At the mall

World's largest Tepee in Medicine Hat, Alberta

The small town of Bow Island reminded me a lot of Ririe where I grew up. They had a couple of cute little grocery stores that were very similar to the small grocery store in my hometown where I used to work. I took this random picture of cheese because I've never really seen cheese sold like that in real life! :)

Cute little Laila was such a trooper on the trip

This little town is a farming community and they are known for their pinto beans among many other crops. Well, we have to get a picture with the bean! That's pretty much the only tourist attraction of the town so we can't forget that!
This guy's name is Pinto MacBean

Just a few miles down the road there is a little community that boasts Canada's first ever irrigation pivot! We drove by too fast so I didn't get a picture of the whole thing, but its definitely worth noting! Wow! haha

On our way home Hailee's view out the back window. Its definitely a LOT of farmland!

One of the highlights on our trip was stopping to get a "Snow Bob". Its a mix of ice cream and Dr. Pepper Slushy. It was SOOOO YUMMY!!!

We decided to go the longer way home and stop in Cardston, Alberta to see the temple. I'm so glad we went this way. It was sooo beautiful!

I love the speed limit signs. Kilometers! Have to get used to that!

I couldn't get enough pictures of the scenery on the way home. We always had the mountains to the West of us. We were on the East side of the mountain range where Glacier National Park is located. So Gorgeous!

Chief Mountain

Its cool, because look at the side of chief mountain, and how narrow it is. (the point on the right)

Leaving Canada!

More beautiful scenery in Montana

Cool looking old church

Found some Dinosaurs in Choteau

In Butte, Montana, I had never noticed the statue on the mountain before. Its a Virgin Mary statue. According to Wikipedia, it is the 3rd largest statue in the U.S.

There was a lot of this going on throughout the trip :)

Beautiful sunset!

It was a great trip and the kids did great! We are considering moving up there for the job, but we'll have to wait and see!

Here are some more random pics of the month:
Hailee playing with a new dollar store find-

This girl has such an imagination! :)

The many faces of cute little Laila

My very own hair stylist, Hailee, fixing up my hair so cute! haha!!

Now, last but DEFINITELY not least, Dallin had his 8th Birthday this month! Wow! He's getting so big! He was so excited for his Birthday. It was super special because he was able to be baptized on his Birthday! Kyle's niece had her wedding planned down in California on the same day that they were going to do stake baptisms, so we got special permission to do it a week before so Kyle's parents could attend. The only problem was that they ended up remodeling our building, so we also had to get special permission to do his baptism at the Ririe Stake Center. It ended up working out and it was a wonderful, busy day!
Here is his announcement. (I'm kinda proud with the way they turned out! :)
