Eagle Island...

We went to Eagle Island today for a birthday party. The kids had a blast, and played for hours. I think we will be spending many more days at Eagle Island before summer ends. We LOVE summer!   

Mommy/Daughter dates...

Kyra and I have had a few mommy/daughter dates recently. Our first date we went to the movies and saw The Croods. Kyra enjoyed the movie and laughed a lot. She especially loved eating her very own popcorn. After we went to Sonic to enjoy a milkshake together. 

Our second date was at the July Relief Society weekday meeting. The theme was Cinco de Mayo. The activity was at a local park where dinner was provided. We had Cafe Rio burritos, and for dessert we had huckleberry ice cream. Everything was delicious. There was also a photo booth, so Kyra and I picked out some fun props and took a picture. We had a fun time together.

Kyra is so full of love, always happy, and out to have a good time. Being a mom of three is hard work, some days are harder than others. It was great for Kyra and I to spend time together just the two of us. I look forward to many more mommy/daughter dates. Love you Kyra!    

4th of July!

We had a lot of fun this year celebrating the 4th of July. We went to Marsing the night of the 3rd. It was Riggin's birthday, so we celebrated with cake/ice-cream. After we all went to the firework show in town, it was great as always. The kids were amazed and enjoyed the entire show. Once we were back at the house the kids went to bed and the adults sat around the fire and talked for awhile. 

The next morning we enjoyed a yummy breakfast, and some relaxation time. Later we went to Jump Creek. We went swimming in the cold water, we all had fun.

Once we got back to the house we packed our things up and headed to Middleton to spend time with Bryce's side of the family. We had a BBQ with lots of yummy food. After we lounged around waiting for it to get dark. Once it was dark Bryce and his brothers enjoyed setting off lots of fireworks. We had a great time and got back to Boise late. Overall we had a great 4th of July.  

Going to Rexburg...

Instead of staying home this year while Bryce went on his yearly manventure with his brothers, the kids and I tagged along and stayed with Kirsten in Rexburg. Kimmy came from Pocatello with her kids too. One day Erin came from Idaho Falls with her kids. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins. We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the HOT weather. Thursday we set up a slip-n-slide and filled the pool, the kids played for hours. That night we had a girls night. We went to dinner at Wingers, and went to the movie Man of Steel in 3D. We had a fun time together without the kids. Friday we stayed around the house all day chillaxin. That night we played games and chit chatted. Saturday in the morning we took the kids to feed the ducks and play at the park. During nap time everyone watched The Great Oz. Later that night the boys came home. After dinner the girls went out to get treats at Walmart. While shopping around I ran into my cousin Megan, we chatted for a good 30 minutes. It was fun running into her and catching up. Later we got home and played games. The next morning we went to sacrament and headed back home to Boise. The kids and I had a great weekend in Rexburg. Bryce had lots of fun on his manventure and will blog about that on a different post.

My kids loved the tire swing...
