*Backyard Pool fun*

The girls have been having a good time playing in the pool this summer. It's been sooo hot that they can't be outside too long - and water is a must. They wanted to rig up this water slide into the pool :)

Grandpa Time!!

no one knows that he can actually smile...he'll be surprised I caught this one :)

My Dad came to visit for Lexi's last T-ball game. We had fun hanging out and Amber's family came too! Dad made is famous FINGER STEAKS for Mike b/c of his 'special' diet. They were so yummy that when Amber came the day after - Dad had to make them again for us!! :) I can't think of a time I've had soo much steak on a weekend.

Grandpa stayed with us, then got a hotel so we could swim. The girls loved it like always! Lexi was able to ride into Boise in Grandpa's camero - she LOVED it. I was even allowed to drive it this time!! It was WAY FUN!!!! I think I could get into some speeding trouble with that car, I better stick to the mini-van :)

CHEEEESSSE!!

Whenever Shelby sees a camara she says "CHEEEESSSE!" ah - she's a cutie!! (and yes, she's always a mess!)

Salt Lake Trip

I love this litte sweet boy Braylon. He is soo good with my girls. He loves to hang with me - what a cutie :)

This is the neat lobby of our hotel

We went to Salt Lake in June for Mike's niece's wedding. Dani and Michael were sealed in the Bountiful Temple. We had a great time with the whole Dean family. We stayed at a nice hotel in SLC and visited temple square in between the sealing and reception. Michael's family is Hawiian and they had a Luau for the luncheon. The women got up and danced then the men. Here are a few pics of Mike and his brothers. It was a lot of fun.

It was also our first road trip in our new van. It was VERY enjoyable and comfortable - we LOVE it :)!!!

4th of July fireworks

This is Shelby's first time really watching the fireworks and knowing whats going on. Her mouth kept opening in awe :)

Emily - Rosie - Lara - Me

My great friend Emily :)

We did the nampa fireworks with our friends. The Roetto's, The Berthelson's, and The Kessinger's. We had a lot of fun gabbing and watching the kids run around. The kids all had a great time playing. Wahoo!!!
