4th of July Festivities

On the 3rd of July we went to Uncle Chris & Aunt Lindsey's for some fun in the pool! Thanks for the cute swimmer Aunt Linds.

Elizabeth's first time in a swimming pool was perfect because it's heated.

Up to Bloomington, ID

After swimming on the 3rd, we headed up to Zach's family's house in Bloomington, ID (about 20 minutes north of Bear Lake).

Parade on the 4th

We went to the Paris, ID 4th of July Parade. It was Elizabeth's first!

Patiently waiving for candy.

Kennedy's tentative wave to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.

Matthew hiding behind Grandma Marian's umbrella to avoid the super soakers.

Kennedy: "You're not funny, Uncle Zach."

We're thinking of getting a golf cart like this for when we go out on the course. Doesn't it fit our style?

Somewhere Under the Rainbow

Zach took these pics of the most amazing rainbow.

Yay! It ends right on our house. Now I just have to find that pot o' gold.

It might also be in our Church.

Or maybe Boyd is the pot of gold.

This little piggie...

Lizzy has discovered how to contort her body to finally get her toes in her mouth. Her tooties are her favorite treat these days.

Father's Day

Happy Birthday Grandma Marian!

First time in the high chair. (2 months old)

Daddy seeing what I'd look like as a nun.

Easter. (3 months old)

Talking to my best friend - the baby in the mirror. (3 1/2 months old)

Tummy time with Duckie. (4 months old)

Just because me & daddy looked extra cute.

Mother's Day.

Chillin' in my bouncer.

Playin' in my 5 month birthday present - a Sassy Seat. But I like it best when daddy uses it like a swing.

On to Salmon, Idaho

After the funeral, Jen & Lizzy rode with Grandma Trena, Aunt Stacie, and cousins Eric and Aidan to Salmon, ID.  Although the visit was just a day & half, it was great fun. We got to see Eric play a few t-ball games, attend Eric's pre-school graduation, and see Stacie & Mark's adorable house for the first time.

Eric's in his pre-school graduation cap.

Grandma Trena & Aidan.

Aidan is his room. Stacie is in the process of transforming it into a "Jungle Room."

Eric in his room, also in the process of having all his neat Star Wars decorations put up. His bed spread has Yoda and Anikan on it.

The beautiful view from the back deck, east and west (at least I think it was east and west).

The deer who come graze daily just off the front yard. Crazy! Stacie says it's so common, that their dog, Ollie, doesn't even bark at the deer.
