Fourth of July

We had a great day celebrating Independence Day. For dinner, we had our traditional meal of hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, watermelon, and later we did s'mores by the fire pit in the backyard. We went to Fort Hall to buy fireworks this year, and we had a pretty good show in our front yard. We had two or three "mishaps", but we all lived, so that's good news. We missed my brother this year, he is usally here visiting during the fourth, but couldn't come this year because of work. My mom was able to come for a week though, so we had a great July fourth and a great week!

Katie Beth so excited to see the big fireworks she picked out.


Kailer with his green smoke bombs, those are always a hit.


This was his favorite, it was really cool.


She was more cold than excited, dang Idaho.


Kai thinking it was getting a little loud.


Katie Beth went in and got her robe, like I said, she was cold.


Here is Bri's "favorite, i have to have it" firework. It was a dud.


Me and Katie Beth trying to stay warm, ignore my lazy eye.

total ECLIPSE of the heart...

Eclipse night out with the ladies was fabulous!

Sand Box

We refilled the sand box this summer and the kids have rediscovered the fun, and we have loved finding sand in every crevice of our house.


Kailer loves using his daddy's old tonka trucks from when he was a kid. And he loves to make sand storms....


Katie Beth likes to build sand castles and islands. She hates the sand storms...



Kodee just wallows in the sand. Every time I give her a bath I find more sand.
