Ahhh I feel like there is so much for me to say but I don't really know where to begin. We have had a really busy summer but it has been so fun. In July we headed to Utah and Idaho for a vacation. We were gone for almost 3 weeks and wouldn't you know it I only took about 10 pictures. We had a lot of fun hanging out with our family and friends. We went to the Kennecott Coppermine which was pretty interesting. You should totally check it out on free day. We also went to Lagoon and Lagoona Beach. I loved the Lazy River and could have floated all day. (Proving yet again how lazy I am.) We also went to and this is no joke 5 MOVIES while we were there. It was so fun. We also had fun getting together with our friends. The kids loved hanging out with their old gang and of course I got to spend time with my ladies. But I tried not to drink any water while I was there if you know what I mean. Haha you preggos.

After Utah we headed up to Idaho. We got together with a lot of our friends up there. We had a really fun time with the family also. The kids swam everyday in the pool at Kim's house and asked for a pool repeatedly all the way home. While there we also went to a family reunion. It is always fun to see all of the cousins and stuff. At the reunion I participated in a watermelon eating contest. While I don't have a future as a competitive eater I did have fun even when my cousin spilled watermelon juice all down my leg. Ahh Good Times, Good Times. Also while we were in Idaho we drove up to Rexburg and saw the new Temple there. It is really beautiful. We went to BYU- Idaho to check it out and it has changed so much. Its like a completely different school.

We decided that when we drove home we wanted to take the scenic route so we drove up through Idaho and into Spokane [(It's this whole other country.) What movie?] It was really cool. We had never been that way and it was fun to explore a new area. It was a really pretty drive and we loved seeing the different types of wilderness. (Did that make sense?) We stopped at a rest stop in Montana and there were a bunch of domesticated squirrels that would run right up to you to get food. It was hilarious. We also made a stop in Coeur d' Alene. I seriously fell in love, It is so beautiful there. We stopped at this really cool beach that they have right in the downtown area. The kids swam in the lake and we had a lot of fun. It was nice to just take our time when we were coming back.

After we got home the kids started swim lessons and things are slowly getting back to normal. I for one will be really happy when school starts so we can get back into a routine. We hope you all had a very fun summer.

P.S. Here is a funny picture of Jared just because. :)
