Warm River

We went to the River to see big trout and we saw this marmot too!!
Attempting to pose


A little better :)

You can feed the fish at this point in the River and the trout jump out of the water to eat the food, they were huge!!




We are all very intrigued! Warm River is up just past Ashton, and just before you get to Mesa Falls which is where we went next. It is so beautiful here in the summer!




Mesa Falls

Beautiful Mesa Falls from the upper falls look out.
The boys - Blake was not thrilled about having his picture taken.

Me and the boys


All of us, Brady set the timer and proped the camera on the railing... good thing it didn't fall!

Mother's Day

I wanted some updated pictures of all of us so we did them on Mother's Day :)
I love this picture of all my boys!!

This picture was probably our best attempt.
I had a great Mother's Day!! I got some awesome home made gifts from the boys. Blake made me a sweet card that had hands in it and said "I love you this much." Brandon gave me a picture of him and he decorated a frame for it... it is very cute. Brady bought me a Kitchen aid mixer, it is cobalt blue, beautiful, and I LOVE it!! Brady also made breakfast (breakfast burritos) and a wonderful steak dinner after church. This is quite possibly my best Mother's Day so far :)







A few random pictures!

Blake got a hold of the camera and took a few pictures!
Ben and Sadie are playing in the toy and they see a possible threat coming :)

And here's Brandon, he had to get in on all the fun.


Cute Brandon in some church clothes we found that used to be Blakes I think he looks a little like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, although I have never seen that movie just a few of the dancing clips :)



Our Happy Little Ben! I just love his dimple!





April brought lots of graduation celebrations around here!

Heather recieving her diploma cover :)
Ryan

Ryan, Heather and Sadie


Whitney getting her name called, she walked so fast this is the only picture I had a chance to snap. Whitney was definately ready to graduate :)

The view from our front door!

Brady took this picture back in March but I love it! We can see the Rexburg Temple from our front door. Actually you can see it from almost anywhere in Rexburg because it is on a Hill. We have really loved being this close to a temple!

Bens favorite toy.





Ben loves this horse bouncer, he really gets to jumping quite high in it.

Brandon's First Day at Pre-School.

Yes that is fresh snow at the begining of April.

Brandon's new super cool Batman backpack.

A very excited Brandon!


Cheese!
I know you're all wondering why he is starting school in April. Well I registered him for fall and when I was in that process the teacher had a new vacancy that Brandon could fill. Brandon has been desprate to go to school so we desided to go ahead and let him go for a couple months now and then go back in the fall. H e goes for 2 1/2 hours 3 days a week :)









In March it got up to 50 degrees and this is what the boys did.








Yes they now think 50 degrees is warm enough to go swimming, looks like we have officially been in Idaho too long :)
