Rachel's Kindergarten Graduation June 2013

A little video through the years

Here's a video that Facebook made from my pictures today (it was FB birthday-so they celebrated by making a video with pictures from our pages). It made me cry looking back at all these people I love and the posts I've posted about Madelyn being born and riding bikes after all the snow melted and then when I filled the sink up to do the dishes and then went outside and picked weeds for 15 min before coming back inside to find water all over the counters and running over onto the floor….and then ending with my mom and dad with all their grandkids!  Great job FB!!

Camping at Red Fish

 Aunt Camille wake boarding...she is so stinkin cool!

Some more pictures of camping at Red Fish Lake!  It was so fun to do and my kids still talk about it!

This is what 46 years of love looks like!

I think my parents are happiest when they are on their boat....but add some great music and a beautiful day and good company and it's a memory we'll always have.....just imagine some hip, fun music playing in the background....I'm grateful my parents have shown us how to stay together through thick and thin!  They are a cute couple for 46 years now!

On Red Fish Lake

 We spent one day on the boat and this was all these kids mom brought them to eat--some granola bars and cheese sticks....

 I love this picture of my mom and dad--they look so happy and in love!

 Camillers finishing her dance....more to follow

 Andrew enjoying some string cheese--he was the only brave one to get in the water....I don't know why I don't have a picture of it--but he and Grandpa jumped in a swam around for a bit...brave boys!

 Rachel pulling in the buoy....

 Madelyn smilin at Grandpa--who can resist that adorable smile?

 The Incredible Sawtooths!

 All of us

 Rachel soakin in the sun

Rachel and Madelyn in the intertube, they got brave and let us just pull them with our arms behind the boat....next time I think they'll be brave enough to let the boat pull them!

Peaks & Perks and Aunt Camille

 We went up to Red Fish Lake while we were in Idaho and saw Aunt Camille and Paul at their cute little ice cream shack and took some cute pictures of her and her honey while we were there.

 Camillers gettin us some milk shakes!!!

 Andrew and Rachel with Aunt Camille

 Camille and Paul next to their AWESOME sign that Camille made!!!!

I had to add this picture of Mom while the kids were playing in the fountain....doesn't she look like a cool chick?

Fun after the Farmer's Market

One of Andrew's greatest memories is going to the Farmer's Market when we were in Idaho.  He wants to go to any farmer's market he can (mostly because of the store that he found some cool, cheap toys at that was along the Farmer Market's route)....but afterwards we came to this fun fountain....and the kids had a blast!!  Especially Rachel (who later would NOT put a toe in the swimming pool for lessons we signed her up for)...but that's different than running through a super cool, fun fountain!

Here's what else we did in Idaho

We went to Big Bun for some yummy ice cream while we were in Idaho last year.....Nakel and her girls met us there and we were stiiiiccckkkkeeeeyyyyy!!!!

Maddy Moo moo

This little girl is my FIERY RED HEAD!  She's sugar and spice all in one!  I love her smile and I could eat her up....if she'd ever slow down so I could catch her....she's a bit stingy with the kisses....but we steal some when we can!
