Thomas Family Blog: September 2013

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.
