Mom on the Go

No kids!

My mom took all three of my kids for a weekend, so Ben and I drove up to Jackson Hole.  We stopped on our way when we saw an interesting hike and ate our lunch.


We saw a moose cooling himself in the stream.

We saw a lot of bison.

And we saw the beautiful Grand Teton mountains.

It was so much fun to hang out and do whatever we wanted.  15 years has flown by and I'm so grateful I get to spend eternity with my best friend.  Love you!!

Brandon is loving martial arts!  He practices every day and has loved learning the bo staff.  This weekend he is competing in his first tournament.



Pictures

I took the kids out to take some pictures and they actually turned out pretty good.

Brandon is 10 years old.

Sophia is 3 years old.


Sara is 12 years old.




I try to do this at least once a year and it's getting easier to get good pictures.


Lava Hot Springs 2012

This summer for our family camping trip we went to Lava Hot Springs instead of Bear Lake.  We had so much fun and some people had never been there before!



Crissy taught both Sara and Brandon how to play speed.

Some of the little kids playing a game.  I love Tristan's snow boots and Jessica telling them the rules :)

I think Lava Hot Springs will be a regular destination when we get tired of Bear Lake.  The kids loved being able to actually swim in the pool and while we did camp in the worst spot ever we still had a good time.

Summer 2012

We have been so busy this summer I have not had time to post anything.  Here are some things we did:

We went swimming...........A LOT!



All three kids took swimming lessons.

Brandon started 4th grade with Mrs. Graham

Sara started 7th grade

Sophia started preschool with Mrs. Joy

Our puppy Zurie made a lot of messes for us to clean up.

A HUGE cat face spider moved in on our front porch.  Ben says I can't kill it because it eats the Hobo spiders- I hope he's hungry.

My friend got us a great deal on Lagoon tickets, so I took the kids and we had so much fun!

We jumped on the new trampoline.

We went to Jessica's baptism.

It has been a fun summer, but I am loving the routine that school brings.  Stay tuned for a few more updates from our summer.
