Our Two Angels

Well I just had to include one more picture of our two little angels. Ella started school last week and it is just amazing how time flies.

So this is what you don't want to see from someone when you give them a birthday gift!

So Rick wanted to give Ella a special book for her birthday. So he looked and looked and found the cutest book "I Love You More" and was all excited to have her open it. So there we were with two presents left, the "Big One" and the one Rick bought her. So she was already a little upset she couldn't open her big present and Rick told Ella she would love the present..... well I guess we were wrong!

Do we need to even say anything about this picture.......

Twin Falls Temple

So we were able to go to the Twin Falls Temple open house in July. It was pretty and a great chance for the kids to see the temple. They were amazed by all the pictures, lights, and the "pool" that Logan wanted to go jump in.

Caldwell Night Rodeo

So every year we go to the Caldwell Night Rodeo and this year Ella was able to take a friend. We had a blast and was able to get close to "Buddy" the bull. We saw lots of things and was able to eat good food!

It is that time of year again!!!

So Rick has been waiting for this since last December! We are all going to the first game in two weeks so we are looking forward to that. Rick has all the kids practicing their cheers and yelling "Boise State" whenever he can.

So to all that did not know my sister and her kids from Brooklyn, New York came to visit for a month. And that is one reason I did not work on my post. But with her here we were able to do lots of fun activites around Boise.

Our Fun Summer!

For the kids birthday, we went to Utah. We went to Lagoon, school clothes shopping, and of course I needed a trip to Ikea.

So since May...

I went to Girls Camp!

Wow! All I can say is things get a little out of control at Girls Camp and this is what happens...

So we were the Honey Bees and thats why all the yellow. And these are my girls...Another thing is it was alot of fun and Girls Camp is so much fun as a leader.

Memorial Weekend

(The boys!)

We took advantage of the weekend. We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Thompson. Had a day of Four wheeling, paint balling and visitng with family. Our family had a blast!


(Rick and the kids!)

Ella with her friends Kassia and Bria!
Ella had her dance recital....does the picture say it all... No, Ella loves dance! She just did not want her picture taken.

Its so amazing how fast kids grow up and when I look back this was Ella's 4th dance recital and she loves to perform. Practices are another thing she would not want to go EVERY week. But I knew that she would like to peform and we also make her finsh anything she starts.

Wow! i am just not good at this!

BLOGGING! this is the last thing on the list....with potty training, family visits, summer and who nows what else this is the one thing that gets put off time after time....so i am so sorry to the ones that catch up on our lives ...just have a little patients....
