Finally Some Summer Fun!

Early this month we took the kids on a hike down under the bridge to where to base jumpers land. After walking pretty far and realizing we were on the wrong trail, back tracking hiking the right trail (which was pretty long!), the heat and the kids freaking out about all the bugs... we finally made it! And considering all things, they actually did pretty good-it was a long hike for a kid especially! I was kind of worried we wouldn't see any base jumpers because the whole hike there I kept watching for them and never saw any, but we did catch a group of 4 I think that jumped! So that was fun to be under them when they jumped and then be right there were they landed to watch their technique! Bentley said he wanted to do that... that makes two of us bud! 😉

After we got home we were all due for a popsicle!

The next day we continued the fun and went swimming at Nat-Soo-Pah Hot Springs!

This Cutie has my Heart!!💗

Next Stop-Bear Lake!

Not the actual lake yet but made a trip down to see my family for a few days! On the way down we met Lillian and London in Soda, grabbed Arctic Circle and played in the snow, hail, rain, and sun at the funnest park! That's Bear Lake weather for ya! haha

June 18th we went "swimming"again at the Filer pool, but seriously like 30 minutes after we got their they cleared everyone out for 30 minutes to shock the pool haha so we left and went and got snow cones and ran through the sprinkler instead!

And last but certainly not least! We took our first camping trip up Elk's Flat with Kam's family!

Just missing Daniel and Natalie's family!

Bentley "attempted" to pull his tooth out the whole time we were there but never succeeded

We were all this happy to be camping!! 😁

We went to the hot springs

Played at the reservoir

Holding the corn hole floaty in between your legs while Justin hucks the bags is a good idea right ??
That smile though!! 😍

We took hikes, played bocce ball, just hung out, ate good food, and had a great time as a family!!

We missed you Daniel and Natalie! -Next Year!! 💗 

~May~

May was a pretty low key month too, but my goal is to write a post every month... er go... ~May~

I only have a handful of pictures from May, but the main thing that happened was my hubby left me for 2 weeks!! Longest 2 weeks of my life!! Since we have been together, the longest we have been apart is 2-3 days, so 2 weeks was a jump! And it sucked! haha 

Before Kam left for Virginia he was able to go to the dinner the Doc's hosted for nurses week with me!

Two days after Kam left it was Mother's Day and he was pretty bummed he wasn't going to be home so the next day I was surprised when I was mowing my lawn and around the corner came Dan, Rachel, Lexi and Macy carrying some flowers for me!

Made my day! 
Made me cry!
You never cease to amaze me babe!💗

I don't remember much about the 2 weeks Kam was gone except we were both miserable, lonely, and couldn't wait until the day he came home!

He finally started his travels home on the 24th in the wee hours of the morning and after traveling all day and sitting in the SLC airport just 3 hours awake from me all night!! He finally made it home at about 3am the next morning!! I had luckily just gotten up to go to the bathroom and was laying in bed when I heard the garage door open! 💗💗💗

I'm good to not do that again for a year!! 😜

One fun thing we did do this month was take the kids to the monster truck show! I had never been to one, it was pretty fun!

It wasn't cold that day until the minute we sat down the wind picked up... Twin Falls 👌

But we still had fun!

~April~

April was a pretty low key month.

We didn't have the kids for Easter this year so we decorated sugar cookies at Grandma's with the cousins before hand.

We get serious about this cookie decorating business! 😜

The Easter Bunny still found the kids at our house though! 😊

Kam and I both really enjoy being out side together, hiking or what have you, so since I hadn't hiked down to Pillar Falls, we hiked down there one day.

It was quite the hike! Super steep all the way down and then you had to come back up! When we got down there the river was too high so we couldn't actually get out to the falls, so we'll have to go again, or kayak there! But it was an adventure! And it was fun! And the view is always amazing when your doing anything in the canyon!

We took the kids to ice cream one night and tried out the new creamery!

*Note to self for next time.. get the kiddy cup!! The small was HUGE!

Poor Kam he always misses out on things when he has to go to drill 😔. The last weekend in April while Kam was in Boise for drill we took the kids on a picnic with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Rachael and then went mini golfing.... which I usually do decent at, but BOTCHED it!! haha We had fun though! And that's all the matters!

Love this family!! 💕

Pretty low key month! 
See you in May!
