Kids In Idaho

We Finally made it to Beautiful Idaho!  I have to admit Idaho is absolutely one of the greatest places to live June through September.  Purely my opinion.  The days are long and warm, the nights are just right, the grass is green and soft, the flowers are everywhere, there are sidewalks, limited amounts of bugs, and best of all there are kids out everywhere enjoying the weather!  Truly a child's paradise.  I think this is why I always wanted to raise my kids in Idaho, because I remember the summers as a child just running free.

The kids were able to stay with Grandma and Grandpa for 3 weeks while Brent stayed in Las Vegas and I went on to start my job in Reno.  These are the pictures Grandma and Grandpa sent me.  The kids all had an absolutely amazing time.

Kara and her best friend Madeline.  We love Madeline.  She is such a good girl and a good example for Kara.  I hope they stay friends forever.

Barrel rolls with our cousins!

It was so nice to be able to start my new job and know that my kids were having such a good time and being taken care of so well.  

Hopefully they did not wear Grandma and Grandpa out too much.  I think Halle had a few break downs.  From what I hear from the other children she did not hold anything back.  I guess she had a few break downs. 

Texas Cake, mmm, mmmm, with Madeline and Grandpa

Our good friends the Holdings new home!  We love the Holdings too.  My kids have been so blessed with good friends and cousins that are such good example to them.  I hope they are always able to find good friends to associate with.

I'm sure there was lots more pictures from all the fun the kids had in Idaho.  I know Hayden learned how to make hot dogs from Grandpa and not just any Hot Dog, "they are Grandpa's famous butter fried Hot Dogs," according to Hayden.  I wish I could remember everything my kids told me while they were in Idaho, but unfortunately my memory is not very good.  I'm lucky if I remember to put my keys on the hook instead of the refrigerator.  I know scary!  I'll be glad when I'm all caught up so I don't have to recall all of our experiences.
