Random from my phone Part 1

So there ended up being over two hundred photos on my phone...and I am just feeling too tired to write all about it.  Here are a few highlights. 
July 4th. Fireworks by the river with my family.  Priceless.  

Lunch with my dearest friend Jamie Mitchell...now Page.  She is just adorable in every way and I wish we lived by each other.

Lucy got really sick on this trip and was sick for almost two whole weeks.  Poor girl.

These are pics from the Paul splash pad.  It is new in ID and was fun...but cold the day we went. 

 

 

More of sicko Lucy.  So gross!!! She got a bath every morning just to clean out her eyes and boogers.   

Hendrix turned 6 and I made the cake.  It is becoming a tradition I think.

 

Time with sisters.  Love TRACI DOLL!

The kids did a list of fun things most days.  Grandma and the cousins made the lists and they just followed it.  For example...a game of Mother May I or a scavenger hunt.  Here is Weston making a collage...one of the things on the list. 

Ponytails on all the boys...I don't know why.  They said they were unicorns!

Here is a pic of my amazing round of GOLF!! Loved playing cards with the adults when kids went to bed.  Loved winning this GOLF game!!! 

 

 

Hanging out in the beautiful weather in my parents lovely yard. 

Grandpa did 4 wheeler rides.

My home.  Grew up here...love it!

 

 

 

Part 2 of the trip.

A huge highlight this year and every year is going to the SNAKE RIVER.  I love Jaimee and Camille and I am so grateful they invite us to play with them.  This year I tried Slalom skiing! It has literally been years since I have tried.  I did great!  Aside from thinking I do it with my left foot forward...crashing  and realizing that I put my right foot forward (goofy footed)...I got up my first try when I figured that out! I look like a boy in this pic...but it's the proof.  Fun times!
 

My sis!

 

 Lucy hated her life jacket.  Do you blame her though?

 

 
 
 

This is how many miles we traveled.  Just me and the kiddos. They all did great really. I couldn't have done without Aubrey and her help with Lucy.  Lucy HATES the car.

We got to come home to this guy though!!!  Missed my man for sure.  Thanks for letting me go every summer and I can't wait for next year when you can join us.  I love IDAHO...I love my family and I am so grateful they are mine.

 

 

 

 

 

Some Random pics

Here is Spencer and his magical LIGHTSABOR rock.  It was lost...found...broken...taped....painted and then lost a few more times.  Much love for this rock! Thank goodness it made it back home to AZ.
 

Here we are 5 adults and 10 kids and Denny's.  Haha.  It was a fun time had by all....most especially Nick and I who realized we were suffering from a stomach bug during checkout.

 

Later we had another trip to Denny's...with just us sisters.  Much more fun this time. I love my sister in laws and always look forward to spending time with them. 

Here we are loaded up and ready to travel home to AZ. 

This next pic is our going away party! Farewell my friends.

Sure love and miss my family.  Why we live so far apart I will never know.  BUT I am happy to be home in AZ and happy to visit them every summer.  Till next time ID.  I love you!!

More pics to come from my camera soon...oh my!!

 

 

 

Sisters

So here are a TON of pictures of us sisters.  Mostly just for me and them.  I love each and every one of my sisters.  I can't imagine life without them.  My childhood would have been dull and my adult life wouldn't be the same without their friendship, example and love.  Thanks to my girls!! 
 

 

 

 

 

 And with Mom.  We wouldn't be here without you.
 

 

This pic is youngest to oldest: Traci Doll, Tonya, Tina, Teri and then Trisha

 

We TRIED!!!

So with THIRTY SEVEN  grand kids...an attempt to take a picture of them all is a joke.  Here are some quick snapshots of all but Tayne's baby boy I think.  Lots of cuteness and personality in one shot!!! 

Some of my siblings.  Six to be exact. 

So many cousins!!  Aren't my kids so lucky!!! All of them are 10 and younger.

 

Parents watching!!! Trying to get a smile or two.

 

Lucy wasn't having it!!

 

 

 

Random pic of Traci and Ryan.  Love them.
