We had a really AWESOME Summer. Probably one of the best for me :-) The weather here in Boise was perfect!
In June, the boys and I flew to sunny Southern California, to spend some time with my family. It was so great to see everybody! It was a nice surprise to have my cousin Nadia in town as well. We haven't seen each other in years!
Anyway, here we are at my Grandma Merle and Grandpa Bob's house.
It was so nice to be at her house as always :) She made us a delicious lunch and the kids had so much fun there. Grandpa Bob, swung Bridger on the outside swing, and they were both in heaven. So cute. While I was there my Grandma had me pick out some things I might like to have (because they were thinking of selling the house) and so I picked some of the art work that my Grandma painted. She also gave me another piece of art that used to have hanging in her guest bathroom, that I used to stare at when I was kid while I was… well, you know. :D Anyway, I love it. It is actually something that really reminds me of her house.
While in California, my Dad and Alexis made plans for us to go to camp in the San Bernadino mountains at a camp called Camp de Benneville Pines. I'm not going to lie, it felt a little crazy with the boys and not having Ben with me, but it was SO much fun for the boys. There is nothing like spending time in nature. We went with my Dad and Alexis, Nadia, Jasmine & Jeremiah (Alexis' great grandkids), and Devon (Alexis' daughter-in-law and her son).
Learning to draw castles with Grandma Alexis.
Playing and canoeing at the lake.
Jasmine at the little talent show. (So cute!)
Brandon loved the main hall of the camp. He loved that he could go in anytime and make himself a hot cocoa :)
After the talent show, the kids made a ton of s'mores!
My happy Bridger.
At the end of our trip we spent a couple days at Bryan and Melanie's house with my Mom and Nadia. I love spending time with them. We had such a nice time together. I just love their girls too. They are what make me wish I had daughters sometimes - but then Brandon and Bridger remind me why two boys is quite enough :)
Cute little Tess. My favorite part about this picture is Isabella in the background. That is such a Bryan pose. Hahahaha.
My mom is going to kill me that I posted this picture. LOL!! We are so dumb.
My beautiful Mom and cousin Nadia.
Brandon didn't dare touch Tess, or she would flip out, so that is as close as he would get. So funny!
After our trip we came home to lonely Ben. As always it was nice to be back home. At the end of the month we went to Ben's Summer work party and had a lot of fun. I'm mostly mentioning it, because during the party Brandon went tubing on the boat and had such a great time. As most of you know Brandon can be timid about a lot of things and it was just awesome to see him having such a great time doing that. Ben was kind of shocked. Brandon asked for weeks to be able to do it again. He said he's going to save every dollar he got to get a boat - that lasted until he got his first dollar- then suddenly his priorities changed.
