Haven't blogged in... awhile. Here's whats been happening lately....

So my best friend, Alicia, has a 4 year old little boy name Rykar who does Junior Rodeo. They live in Salmon Idaho (where we are so excited to visit next weekend) so we rarely get to see them. In July, he had a rodeo in Preston and since that is so close I said there is no way we would miss it. The girls and I went to Preston and stayed the night with them at Alicia's grandparents house and went to the rodeo.  The girls were soo excited Alicia let them ride Rykar's horse "Popcorn". I was soo good to see her and my little one's, Rykar & Rakele.

In June we went to Island Park & Yellowstone. It was such a fun vacation as usual. We love spending time together as a family. We were so excited that Aunt Lynn and Wyatt were able to come this year. We hope that someday, more of the family will come.
These two always stick together like glue. They watch over and protect each other. It is so cute.

Picnic on the tramp
 On the 4th of July, we were at Matt's mom's and after the picnic the kids were playing on the tramp. I walked outside to see Kelty and Abbie packing the kids picnic table around. I asked them what they were doing, and said having a picnic on the tramp. I told them they shouldn't put the table on the tramp that someone could get hurt, but I didn't worry to much about it. I didn't think they would be able to lift it up there. Well about 5 minutes later, I come out so see all 5 of them (Kolton 8, Kelty & Abbie 4, Bella 3, and Kennadee 2) on the tramp with the chairs and everything.
Kelty dressed up her princess shoes. They had dandelions all around. There were like 10.

This is what I get to wake up to on weekends.

Kelty was beat. Kelty doesn't nap, but sometimes, she plays so hard that just knocks out. When this happens there is NO waking her up. No matter how hard I try.
Bella came to stay a couple of days with us to go on our Thomas Vacation. We went to a little place up by Jackson Hole where's Matt's great-aunt has a cabin.

BUBBLES EVERYWHERE!

Happy Birthday! Bri, Kenna, Kelty & Quintan
For all the summer birthdays this year we went to the Cache Valley Fun Fark. It's like an arcade, bowling alley, and skating rink all in one place. So fun. 
The kids love the jungle gym

My friend Kami came.

Target Shooting with Daddy
Matt actually lets them shoot the guns, and they love it.
Last camping trip for the year.

 



Quintan wrote home and was craving Butterscotch Supreme. So we sent him pictures.


Kelty loves to color on my tablet...

Kelty's Spring Recital

For Kelty's Spring Recital she danced to "Singin in the Rain" for the tap routine and she did a tribute to Daddy for ballet called "D-A-D-D-Y". It was so cute! She did so good I couldn't be prouder. Nana, Pops, Quintan, and Grandma & Grandpa joined us.

Sick baby!

So yesterday Matt had the day off and stayed home with the girls. He called me and said Kenna had woken up with a strange rash. I got home that evening and got pretty freaked out. The rash has blisters and it kept spreading. We tried to just treat it at home, thinking the doctors would say it's one of those things you just have to wait out, but this morning when it had spread I took the day off work and took her in. Turns out she has a virus that Babies get and it is treatable. I have to keep her home and away from other kids for 5 days or so.
