Skimmin' on the River

We have been taking full advantage of skimboarding this summer. We have been going pretty regularly down to the river with family, friends, and kids in the neighborhood, and of course Kruz tags along with us! This has been the perfect way for us to tolerate this heat and enjoy the things we love to do!

I love my yard

Kyle and I feel so extremely blessed to have such a beautiful place to hang out at our home. WE LOVE OUR YARD so much and even more so right now when everything is blooming and is so vibrant with colors. It can always put a smile on my face. :) Right now colors are Yellow, Pink, Purple, and White!

Breakfast at Tifiny's

So as we left Idaho, we of course had Mom and Hailey and Soy stop and stay the night with us here in ST. George before they had to finish their last stretch of the drive back to Seal Beach. What better way to spend the morning than by going to breakfast at 'Breakfast at Tifiny's' ? I know that is what I thought, no better way. All of the food was so yummy and even Soy had fun! Great morning and great way to end my travels with my family - I always hate goodbyes! LOVE YOU!

Fun at Home!

Here were a few of the highlights of being home with my family in Idaho

Got to visit with a great friend from college, Sharis! She and Bentley came to lunch with us and then we were lucky enough to get to see Sharis and Travis at the Kenny Chesney concert too! You look amazing Sharis - can't believe you are expecting! xo

Always so much fun to get to see Bubba - I just love him! :) Glad we got to get together - making more memories! 

Tyler is pretty much my big brother, I love him to pieces. He is so good to us girls and was sweet enough to leave us a small herd of calves for me, hay, car, and case to brand! We had the best day together - it was beautiful out and we actually did pretty well roping considering how rusty the 3 of us were. :) 

Papa was definitely there with us helping out - hope we made him proud! We all miss you so much and are so grateful for all the wonderful memories that we have with our Papa! ;)

Me and my Maggie girl :)

Tyler and his "help" :) 

-Sawyer was loving her 'chaps'-

The crew :)

Me - Casey - Hailey

Sawyer and I were matching for Church :) Not on purpose either!

One afternoon while Carli was at work, we dropped Soy off to Aunt Neece and Mom and Hailey and I went over to do a session at the Boise Temple. I haven't actually been in since they had redone it this winter. It looked so beautiful - they did a wonderful job! We ran into an old friend of mine's mom, April Nicilosi. She is such a nice lady - it was nice to see her. Anyways it was such a great way to get to spend the day with my mother and my big sister. So grateful to know that we are part of an eternal family - I couldn't have picked a better family to be part of. I love them all with all of my heart! <3 p="">

I know Dad loves having ALL of his girls home! Boy do we all love him - he is so good to all of us and we all couldn't be luckier to have him as our Dad! 

We had such a YUMMY meal at Gramercy Park too! Fun to finally see what a great place it is - Jessica and Park have done a great job with it! All of the food is soooo good! :)

Finally the Kenny Chesney concert!! Holy Smokes was it good!! YES! So Kasey Musgraves, and The Eli Young Band opened for Kenny! All in all it was an awesome night! I love country music so it was just amazing to see, listen, and enjoy the company of my favorite ladies, my mom and my 2 sisters! It was perfect! :) Thanks for the good times!

Oh hey Kenny! :) Awesome performer!

Obviously the trip consisted of TONS more, but I won't make a novel of this, because I think everyone knows how much I love to visit back home to Idaho. Nothing better than pulling into GF and going up the hill to pull into Mom and Dad's place. I love it there and have so many wonderful memories there! 

I am one lucky girl! :)

passerby's = Hay & Soy

Hailey and Soy simply were passing by, but we of course filled it with lots of fun for the night! 

Took them down to Judd's for a few yummy treats....

Soy and I cooled off down at the splash pad at Town Square....

Hailey had to take Soy on a carousel ride because I mean we were right there...why not?! :)

Love you mucho! Thanks for staying the night with me - see you soon in Idaho! :)

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's day to everyone! I had a great day with my boys :)

Shout out to my own Mom for Mother's Day! She is the best mom a girl could ask for and I am lucky enough to be one of her daughters! I love you so much mom!! xoxo Thanks for all of the wonderful memories that we share! :)

Car Car came for a visit!

My long lost little sister that moved to Boise finally made it to the STG for a visit! It was such a great time! She happened to come down on the weekend of the Ironman, so town was a little busier than normal, however that didn't stop us from having fun!! Right Car? 

Doesn't she look so adorable here?

 and here?

 We of course had a few yummy Dirty Dr. Peppers from Swig, but we also had these delicious fish tacos at a new yummy place here in St. George called "George's!" It was lots of fun!

I have a hard time keeping my eyes open for pictures so I was trying to keep them extra open haha

 We also got to spend lots of time with Kristen and baby Jax while Car was here. Isn't Jaxon seriously adorable? He had a cute little outfit on for "cheering" on Dave at the Ironman. 

 Carli came in just after the 6 hour mark..... haha ;)

 I LOVE LOVE this cute little sister of mine! She has always been such a good friend to me - thanks for everything CAR! miss u already
