Spur of the Moment Camping Trip

I haven't even been home for a week, and we have done soo much already!! We have been to the pool multiple times, often more than once in a day. Saturday I got some family together to do a barbecue at Lucky Peak State Park. We were having a lot of fun and sitting by the water when we decided that camping sounded fun.

So... we packed up our barbecue and went home to pack for camping. It was already like 5 pm, so we had to get everything together as fast as we can. We arrived in Lowman at 10 pm, and set up our new tent for the first time in the dark! We found a really cool camping spot next to the river in a free campground which rocked!


It was Cooper, Megan, and Carter's first time camping. Meg was really afraid on the way up and just wanted to "turn around and go home" but once we got up there she realized it was a lot of fun.

Our trip was really short, just a overnighter, which left us all with the camping bug... we need to go back soon!!

Little Rhody

On June 12 we ventured out on our trip to Rhode Island. My sister got me a plane ticket to go back to visit and go to my brother's graduation. It was a looonnngg drive to Idaho Falls and then to Salt Lake. Then it was a REALLY LONG day of flying to Rhode Island. When we finally got there it was wicked HUMID and I thought I was going to die. After that though, the ENTIRE time was cold and RAINY!!!



We got there right in time for the Gaspee Day Parade! What a good old tradition, and we got to see Uncle George and Pop in the parade which was really cool. Pop was excited to show off some of his great-grands!

The one (mostly) sunny day we went to the Roger William's Park Zoo. Carter obviously doesn't get it yet, but it was nice to just walk around in the sun, and the butterfly exhibit was pretty cool too!


The drive to Pennsylvania was another adventure. It should have been an 8 hour drive, but instead took 14 because of the crazy pouring rain and flooding roads! Once we got there we had lots of fun shopping, going out to dinner, doing pedicures at the hotel, and swimming in the pool. Danny was so excited to have the family there for his graduation, and it was awesome to see him accomplish something so great!



Carter's cousins Sammy and Natali both loved being able to have two weeks with him, even though Natali got caught stealing his binki, "spanking him in the head", and pinching him. Sammy also wanted to share and gave him an oreo which I discovered when I got him out of his carseat and there was chocolate all over his face! What a surprise that was.. well he survived!


It was nice to spend time with family and friends, despite all the crazy things that happened on our trip~!

4 months old!!

My baby boy is four months old already! He went to get his shots and weighs in at 14 lbs 1 oz. He has grown another inch since his two month appointment and is now 25 inches tall!! He is such a happy baby always smiling and and laughing and just loves to cuddle and play.


We spend most of our days by the pool at Ivy Wild Park in Boise. The lil guy usually gets so comfy that he falls asleep in the pool. I can't wait till next year when he can run around and play... but for now it gives me a good excuse to get out and get some sun!
We got a Bumbo seat from my Aunt when we were in Rhode Island. I love when he sits in it because he looks like such a big guy. He is really starting to play with toys... and his Toes.. he discovered his feet and I think it's just too adorable when he grabs on to them!
