Summer 2010!!!

Well I thought I would finally post some of our adventures this summer! We went the end of June to Idaho Falls, where my best friend lives! Her parents own a ranch up in Ririe that they let us stay at! It was so much fun!! And beautiful of course!! The kids got a night with us and a night without us! Kristi was nice enough to keep the kids for a night so we could have some time alone!! Which was greatly needed!!

 We ate at a Pizza place with her mom and dad! It was so yummy!!

Linkin loves to hold on to our legs which of course drives us crazy!
 The cabin was so nice!! We loved it!

 We stopped in Alpine on the way home and let the kids play at the park! We had a lovely little picnic while we were stopped! It was such a nice break from our crazy lives! or should I say Lyle's crazy life!

 Danika took this picture i thought she did a pretty good job!


 We went to Bear Lake a couple of times already this year! We love it there! The kids just have so much fun! 

 Linkins swim suit is a little big, suprise suprise! one year he will grow i just know it!


This is Linkin with Gage, They just moved to Seattle! I already miss this family like crazy!! We enjoyed each other so much, she was a single mom with 4 kids and so me feeling like i am a single mom most of the time enojoyed having her around to hang out!!

So far we have had a really good summer, we get to go to Island Park in August with my mom and dad! That should be alot of fun!!

Lyle is staying super busy with work at the shop, riding on the ambulance a couple nights a week, being fire chief here in richmond and being the asst. scout master as well!! We are so blessed to have him with not only one job but 4!! Sometimes it gets really hard but we are getting use to it more as the time goes by!!

Danika will get to go to preschool 3 days a week this fall, I can't hardly wait!! She will love it as much as i will, now if only I could find a place for Linkin! Oh well one on one time right!!!

Linkin has learned to talk so much the past couple of months, he's learned the word "Why" So we get to answer a lot of questions from him but we are enjoying him so much!!

As for me, I'm learning to be patient and trying to rely more on myself now with lyle being gone, I have finally gotten use to sleeping alone without him at nights and not making Danika sleep with me because I am scared!!! I'm trying to stay positive even though it gets tough!  Hope all are doing well!!!
