August Activities

Once we got back from Oregon, we started feeding Mylee cereal. She slowly eats it. She thinks it is funny and laughs the whole time.

Last week I went boating with my parents at Jordenelle. It was Mylee's first time on a boat, and she did pretty well. She HATED the life jacket though.

Yesterday we went up to Bear Lake to see Laurie and Colby. We made yummy fresh bear lake raspberry jam. I can't wait to gobble it all up!

We spent a little time down at the beach. The shallow water felt perfect! My kids loved it too...

My Happy Place: The Oregon Coast

This is the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River. We stopped here on our drive to the coast- what a long drive! Luckily we had some books to read. We read the Fabelhaven series during the long drives. They are pretty good books!

One of my FAVORITE pictures of Brandon and Canon. This is at Cape Kiwanda.

Devils Churn- fascinating but a lot scarier with the kids. The waves crash against the rocks so if you fall in- your dead.

One of my favorite activities- tidepools at Neptune Beach! I couldn't believe how many sea stars there were!

The picture is too small to see all the detail, but there is a hermit crab and fish swimming around in this tidepool.

This is at the aquarium in Newport. Doesn't it look like the fish are staring at Canon? They had a bunch of underwater tunnels that were really cool to walk through.

Canon's favorite actvity- rolling in the sand and occasionally sampling it.

Isn't Mylee sooo adorable!? This is on the bay right by the house we stayed in at Lincoln City.

Brandon became the master kite flyer. I learned a few tricks as well, but I kept crashing the kite into people. Oops!

Muson Falls outside Tillamook. Part of the water flows through this log- pretty sweet.

I think this pictures sums it up. I love the Oregon Coast. Brandon and I decided we are going to move there someday....

Check out my sister's blog (Laurie Bingham) for more amazing pictures of our vacation!

4th of July in St. George

We spent the weekend in St. George, and holy cow it was soo hot!! It was a lot of fun though! The Prax family blessed their sweet little baby girl, Katelynn.

We did a little hiking which isn't the best activity to do in St. George- especially when it is over 100 degrees! Luckily this little hike was in the shade so we stayed pretty cool.

Aren't the Prax kids soooo ADORABLE?

All the grandkids together.

The sweet little ladies!

More Summer Fun!

We didn't do too much in June, but we have AWESOME plans for July. In the meantime, here are some pics of our summer fun!! Happy 4th of July!

June

What cute kids! These are all the grandkids on my side of the family. We did this picture for Father's Day for my dad.

Random pictures of Canon...

Easton was blessed this month as well. He is a stud! I think he will give Canon a run for his money when it comes to grumpy faces.

My mom and Mylee at the blessing.

My cute kids enjoying the sun.


This crane was on my neighbors house. Cool.
