Blackfoot State Fair

I love going to the fair with my Mom.

We just leasurly stroll around and enjoy everything 

from good food, exhibits and watching people.

What a fun way to spend a Thursday afternoon in September.

Meadow Lake

We used to go to Meadow Lake all the time when our kids were little.

Mike & Karen used to come from Ohio and we all would take a HUGE

family camping trip to Meadow Lake.

We haven't been there for a long time.

So, the last week end before school started, we took a 

camping trip to Meadow Lake.

Wynn and I left on Thursday and enjoyed one night

before Steven and his family got there on Friday afternoon.

Wynn and I went on a RXR ride on Thursday when we first got there.

It was beautiful!

 On Friday, we enjoyed another RXR ride before the kids got there.

Lots of old mining roads to explore and beautiful sights to see.

 Everyone went fishing except Tyson and I.

Steven said that with each cast, the kids would catch a fish.

He didn't get to fish much because he spent all his time

helping the kids CATCH fish.

They had so much fun.

 Tyson and I stayed in camp.

 He loves Grandpa's RXR.

 He loves Camdens motorcycle.

(he makes the cutest sounds when he is pretending to ride)

 The catch of the day!

 Camden and STeven

 The fishing crew!

 The kids on their RXR ride.

 We explored the old Gilmore town cemetery.

It is so nice and so interesting.

So much fun spending time with  my family.

Happy Birthday to you!

Mom's 83rd Birthday party.

I made Mom a Diet Cherry Pepsi center piece 

for the table.

Now, isn't that appropriate?

If you know my Mom, you know she loves Diet Cherry Pepsi

and doesn't go a day without one.

 I just couldn't let Mom's birthday go unnoticed this year.

I just love my Mom and she deserves a huge party 

every year.  I am so thankful for her and all she does

for me and my family.  She is always there for me

and she is my best friend.

I love my Mom.

 We gathered in our backyard and just enjoyed one another.  

We had lemon cupcakes and Root Beer Floats.

Mike & Charissa came up earlier in the week and took

Mom and helped her buy a new car!

She is now a proud owner of a 

Brand new Subaru Legacy.

I love the color.

I'm sure she will love having new wheels.

Happy Birthday Mom!

I love you....

Our little Elle

I couldn't wait to share some of the photo't

Matt and Kayla have sent me.

Oh, our little Elle is just the cutest!

I miss her so much and I feel like

i'm missing out on so much of her 

little life already.

I hope they come for Thanksgiving!

Mackay RZR ride

On Saturday, August 22nd, Wynn and I went to Mackay to go

on a RZR ride.  We have been here before but it was so

much fun, we had to go back.  There is an old

mining town here and lots of things to explore.

It's just fun being with Wynn and enjoying

the  outdoors.

Monster Trucks

On August 21, Wynn. Steven & Camden went to the 

Monster Truck Show at the Rigby Fair grounds.

Oh my, Camden loved it!

He even got to go for a ride in one of the Monster Trucks.

Just look at his face.

I think they all had a great time.

Brooke, Emily, Tyson and I went for a leisurely ride up to Ririe

and enjoyed frozen yogurt at the Orange Leaf.

I think everyone had a great evening.

I just love my family!

Some Favorites

The other night, (Aug. 20th), we went out to dinner with the Kinghorn's.

As we were coming home, we noticed this sight.

It was just simply beautiful.

We have had lots of smoke in the air lately because of all the

fires.  I'm sure the sunset looked like this because of the smoke

in the air.  The flag was just an added bonus.

Ever since the new tailor dealership opened right by the 

highway, they have flown this flag.  I told Wynn the flag was

the only thing good about that business.

I just love our country and I'm proud to be an American.  

This house is my favorite!

The past couple of summers as I have rode my bike, I have watched

it come to be.  Last summer there was a huge pile of dirt on the front lawn. 

There were three little boys playing in it each morning as I rode past.

This summer they got the front lawn all planted and it is now beautiful.

I would say this is my dream  house and there is no harm in 

dreaming right?
