Oh, this represents the few and far between good moments

between them on the trip!

Ok, maybe not few and far between.. they were buds most of the time!

Last day of school festivities!

Yahoo! I figured out how to post onto this blog and now you guys will be wishing I never figured it out! First, thank you Kenters for setting this all up for the fam! I really hope this will be a way to keep us all connected. BUT, everyone needs to now subscribe to this blog, that way when each of us updates it, you will get an email notification to let you know so you can check it out. Also, I will still be keeping our families blog, so keep checking that one too!

Ok, with that said, Let the summer fun begin! Our first stop was in Utah where Em & Jake hosted us for 5, yes 5 whole nights! A BIG thanks to them for being so hospitable to us and taking me and my crazy children in. There were times I think she was wishing she hadn't agreed to it! But, we did have a lot of fun. Here are some highlights of the trip:

* Pizza & watermelon night- YUM!

* The boys setting up crazy car tracks all over the house and us parents loving the mess that came along with it

* Having lots of fun at Thanksgiving Point! We did the farm and the dinosaur museum and they were both fabulous! We only had a short hour at the dino museum so we dragged the kids out kicking and screaming!

* Picking the boys up from the bus stop on the last day of school and throwing water balloons at the bus. Then a fun neighbor of Em's had a soft serve ice cream machine set up outside for cones for everyone. It was fun!

* Stevie the Sting ray! Mom of course brought along some fun for the boys to enjoy. It was a grow in water sting ray that kept on growing and growing and was so huge by the last day! Mom had each of them pick a name and Stevie was the winning name. It was a fun little adventure for them to rush and check every day to see how big he was getting.

* Park day and breakfast with the cousins! On Memorial Day Katrina, Kayla, and Amanda all met us at a park with their kids. It was so great to see them and catch up. If only Landon wasn't hitting me and telling me he hated me while we were there, I could've actually had a conversation with them! So, this forced us to move the party to the next morning for a breakfast date with them all. Kayla wasn't able to come, but Em, Mom and I met up wit Katrina and Amanda and it was fun.

* Jimmy and I had to go to a wedding on Memorial Day as well, and so I thought I'd post a couple pics from that event also! I looked like "fat guy in a little suit" in my dress. My wardrobe options are rapidly diminishing and I look like a freak these days. But, I still went and ate myself silly cause I can right now. ha ha! Does anyone remember Jimmy's friend Ryan McMahon? (the groom) Really funny guy, his wife was a little bit stuffy.. but he's awesome! Oh, and love that I can say that- since only our family reads this! Love it!

Anyway.. more to come from me! I'm now is Boise with the boys until June 19th so keep checking back (subscribe) to keep up on our adventures!

Love you all!
