July 2017

The four kiddos at Grandpa and Grandma Wright's house for fireworks. All of them had fun except the timid little guy that would only watch after I had the blanket wrapped all around him and only his eyes peeking out. After it was over he said he really liked it though!

Beautiful sunset!

Jello in one hand and watermelon in the other. She knows how to celebrate the 4th of July!

Waiting for the fireworks to start! Love my kiddos!



I know this is kind of weird, but while we were waiting for the fireworks to start, Hailee came up with this idea to make a heart out of my feet and then all of the kids wanted to try. Haha!

We tried out the new place for fireworks this year at Snake River Landing. It was great! (Except trying to get home afterward took forever)
Who knew that the broken swing set slide and our kiddie pool could be so much fun!

Another fun day of boating!

Playing on the giant "Redneck Waterslide" at the Wright family reunion! The kids had a blast as always! This year was the first year everyone loved it, even Laila!

Hailee wrote this on her white board in her room. I think she's perfect just the way she is!

Someone got into somebody's play makeup at the babysitter's haha

Snapchat fun (Mommy and Hailee)

Witch hat, bracelets, undies over diaper... this girl knows how to dress haha!

Splash Park fun! This was the first year I got to sit back in the shade and watch. Oh it's sad that our little babies grow up so fast, but there are some perks too!

Fun times boating, swimming, and eating licorice! Except the little guy that wanted to go home because he saw storm clouds in the distance

This handsome kid turned 10 yesterday! Almost everything was Lego Batman for him!

Fun times watching the Blue Angels practice over our house!

Yeah! We got a "new" bike for Owen at the D.I. He's pretty excited to learn how to ride without training wheels!

We got to go floating down the river by Mack's Inn again this year with Kyle's family including his brother Gary who was up visiting. It's so beautiful up there!

Love this girl! We get out of the van, and within 2 minutes she's already gathered a beautiful bouquet of wildflowers
I love this picture! I just wish Dallin was in it, but he was the one taking the picture

Here's Dallin with some gorgeous scenery behind him

We even saw a big moose in the river with us!

The big story of the day was when Grandpa accidentally tipped the canoe over and he and Grandma fell in. They were both okay though and we needed a funny story to share!

Dallin is such a Lego Master Builder!

Playing at Toys R Us!

Robin and Batgirl!

He did it! It didn't take him long to learn to ride his bike! Yay Owen!
Guess what that is? It's a tiny funnel cloud! I have always had a fascination with tornadoes and have always wanted to see one. I actually had a huge fear of tornadoes as a kid, but it later turned into a fascination, so whenever there is a storm, I always watch the clouds and scan the skies for a funnel cloud. The other day we were sitting outside watching the storm clouds go by when suddenly Hailee says, "Look! It's a tornado!" Sure enough, it was a tiny funnel cloud in the distance. I got way more excited than I should have, but it really was cool. The funnel cloud was actually more over by Ririe. The second picture was taken by my friend who was over there at the time. 
Oh just some more pictures of fun times at the lake with Kathleen! Surfing, losing the surfboard, tubing reeeaally slow with the little kids and one between my legs haha! Dustin's brother came and brought his cool old 1977 jet ski that you can only ride while standing or kneeling. I got to try it out and it was so fun! I didn't realize how tricky it is! I may be covered in bruises from it haha

Having fun at Kathleen's neighborhood party!

Oh Laila! haha! This is the look you get when you realize the slide is a LOT bigger than you anticipated! She loved it though! The other picture was from the third time down when she accidentally flipped onto her belly. She was all smiles though! This girl is fearless

Playing kitty and puppy was the new fave around our house

Zoo with cousins!

It's so fun to spend time with cousins!

Rexburg Rapids!

Funny random picture. We got home, and I look back in my rear view mirror to see Laila and Owen asleep, and Hailee pulling a funny face at me in her princess tiara. 

 I used to collect these cool toys called "Precious Places" when I was a kid. They seriously were some of the best toys ever invented! Well, I have been trying to buy a few more off of ebay when I see a good deal so these kids can have a nice set to play with.

June 2017

First and last day of 4th grade! It's funny he ended up wearing the same shirt, and I'm glad to see he hasn't changed too much! (He definitely did grow taller though)

First and last day of 1st grade! She has changed too much!

I forgot to get last day of preschool pics for this little dude, but he's definitely growing too!

Can't forget cutie Laila!

Laila's "crown" thanks to Hailee haha!

I tried something new this Spring. I've always wanted to play soccer, so with a little coaxing from my friend Alisha, I joined a soccer team! It was so fun!

Cool clouds! It almost looked like a mushroom cloud

Beautiful evening at the playground! It couldn't have been more beautiful!





Cousin Brinlee stayed with us for the week and we had fun! Missing from the picture is Dallin because he didn't feel well after eating too many s'mores at a scout activity. 

I was asked to be Owen's T-Ball coach. It was fun but definitely a little crazy! I love this pic of Owen wearing a helmet that's way too small for his head. Haha! Owen is a very attentive player, we just need to work on his tantrums when he can't always get the ball every time haha

I love Owen's focus even though he can get pretty angry at times. There's the coach (me) in the background

Little T-Ball guy and his best friend Ethan :)

Here's my little team. They were fun!

Oh Sonic... He disappeared for a few days so we got a little worried. We're glad he came back!

Love this kid and his great hair!

Cute little twinners again :)

Dress up day!

Daddy having fun at the store riding the fat tire bike haha!

We went to visit Candice and Rob's family, and on the way down we decided to stop and see Shoshone Falls since there was a lot of water going off them again from the really wet Winter we had. It was so beautiful!

More Shoshone Falls pics. It was incredible how much water was going over the falls!

We went down for Dairy Days and the Dairy Days parade. Dallin and Hailee were invited to ride in the quick response truck and throw candy. They had fun!

We went on some rides at the carnival at Dairy Days, and then the kids got to go swimming. Fun times!

Dads (and a future Dad) on Father's Day

We were at Grandpa and Grandma Wright's house and Laila was playing on the swing. It triggered a memory I had of Hailee on the same swing in the same dress 5 years ago. Such cuties! They definitely don't look as much alike now as they did as babies!

Walked into the living room to find a bunch of burritos on the floor. Haha!

First time boating of the season! We even got everyone on the tube all the way down to Laila!
Cutest little Batgirl I've ever seen!

 Dallin having a good time at Scout day camp
Another fun day of boating!
 Laila!
We went to Fall Creek to visit Grandpa and Grandma Wright for the evening. It was so nice!
 Fall Creek Falls

Cutest picture of Laila!

Love these kids so much!
 Making S'mores!
 Hailee and I went into the makeup store and I tried out some lipstick. It was fun!
 Cars 3 movie night as a family!
