4th of July

Happy 4th of July!! This is one of my most favorite holidays. This year we just went to the parade in Rupert and then went back to Lindsay and Chases and floated the canal and then had a BBQ and then went and watched the fireworks over in Burley. After we went back over to Lindsay and Chases and set off a few of our own. It was a great day. I am sad that is has already come and gone. 

Summer fun

Lindsay and Chase went roping one weekend so we got to watch these two cuties. The first night I attempted to make them Mickey Mouse pancakes haha I think I need some practice:) The next day we decided to take them up to Sublet reservoir and go fishing, I am not one who enjoys fishing so I figured the girls and I could just play in the water. It was fun for awhile and then the wind started to blow a little and the bugs started to get bad. So we decided to head home and just swim in the little swimming pool at my house. I love being able to watch these cuties they are growing up so fast. 

Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend Tara was home so she came over and helped me paint some of my house. I love how it turned out. We got the living room and hallway all done. I slowly and I mean slowly feel like my house is starting to come together. There are some days that I wish I could just move into a brand new home but I am loving our home and I am loving that I can make it the way I want, we still have a lot to do to it but we are getting there. 

Then on Memorial Day we took Madison and Ainsley up to the City of Rocks and then we went swimming. The whole way up there Madison was just wanting to go swimming she had never been to the City of Rocks to climb before so she wasn't so sure about it. But by the time we left the rocks she was loving it. And then we topped the day off with a nice soak in the hot tubes. I am so glad my aunt and uncle own Durfee Hot Springs and it's so close and we can go whenever we want:) 

Reno

Todd and I got to go to Reno at the end of April and first week of May. He had a fire training for work that we went down for. I was excited since I have never been to Reno, but man it was a very long and boring drive!! But I am grateful that I was able to go with him and get to spend time together. One night we went for a walk down by the river. It was very pretty down there but at the same time downtown Reno is very scary. I am glad Todd was with me.
