So it has been forever since the last time I have done anything with my blog. Between work, kids, and life the last thing I want to do is get on the computer when I have a chance to myself. But here I am finally getting around to an update. I won't bore everyone going back to November 2009 (since my last blog was in October), but will start with this past summer. Hopefully I will do better this go round.
We had a very busy summer full of friends and activities. It flew by fast, but we had a blast.
Western Idaho Fair
Papa Jake paid for the girls to ride a horse. Amelia was quite impressed with the whole thing until the horse got a little jumpy and then she wasn't too sure about the whole horse thing.
Amelia and Kendal.
Amelia and her cousins Amaya and Kendal. Such little posers.
Camping in Grand Jean
Playing in the little creek by our cabin.
It was so beautiful up there. There are natural hot springs all over and we found ourselves one. If you got too hot you would just let a little of the freezing cold river water in to cool off.
Early morning bottle. My cute Charlotte all snuggled up.
Hiking around enjoying the beautiful scenery and refreshing air. I love mountain air.
Catching a ride on Pa-pa's shoulders.
Swimming
Amelia finally built up enough courage to go down the slide with her dad. She found she loved it, but was basically screaming when Spencer carried her up the stairs.
Charlotte loving the turtle.
Car Races
Spencer and I decided to take Amelia on a date to the car races. She loved them, which I am so glad about as I love the races as well. Brings back memories from when I would go with my dad all the time as a little one.
Goofing Around
My girls are getting so big.
Can't forget a picture of our first "baby" Bell. She wants to be apart of everything as well.
My sweet Charlie with her big beautiful brown eyes and georgous eye lashes.
Summer Friends
My best friend Jeri made it up to town and we headed to the park.
Amelia being a great big sister and sharing her snow cone with Charlotte. I was so proud of her; this does not usually happen.
Jane and Charlotte
4th of July
We headed back to good 'ole Gunner street for fireworks and BBQ. Amelia did not care for the fireworks and spent her time on Billy's lap with ear muffs on.
The men were a little bored and decided to poor gas in a line to some flower fireworks that didn't go off in hopes that the gas would help...it didn't. But they had fun.
Playing with the gas and getting ready to light it.
Amelia seeking comfort from Jana before settling in on Billy's lap.
We did get her to do a sparkler with daddy's help.

Sisters
Snuggle Time
I head off to work and Spencer and Charlotte snuggle back in for some extra zzzzz's. (Not fair)
Mom and Daughter
Sushi
Yeah that's right...sushi. I was proud of Amelia, she tried it. Nothing is better than heading out with friends for good food.
Provo
So we headed to the Bean Muesum in Provo. It is really cool. It has all the animals, beatles, bugs, shells, fish that you can think of to look at. Rule breaker Cody touching the lion.
Spencer and his little brother Joe. Although, he appears to be taller than Spence.
Most of the kiddos at the museum. Can you believe this isn't even all of the cousins?
At Courtney's high school graduation, we became pretty clever in entertaining the kids for the 3 hour graduation. Yeah that's righ, 3 hours for a high school graduation. Not a good idea with kids.
Amelia and her good buddy cousin Kenzie. Those two are little peas in a pod.
