Fun at the Fair & Boise State Game!

We had a blast at our County Fair and the kids talked us into going Twice! It definitely wears ya out! We went on Wednesday to do the rides with some of their friends, and then again on Mon Labor Day....It also happened to Boise State's Opening football game that night, so we had to sport our Blue & Orange!!!! Go BSU!

I made my own Boise State shirt

Aldon & his friend Jed, & Adi all rode the rollercoaster... Adi watched the boys go a coupe of times... and then said she wanted to go, she was the youngest one on there.... I know.... she's fearless!

2nd row: Aldon, Adi, Jed

Adi and her friend Evan brushing the cow & feeding the goats

Lots of fun with Friends:

(My friend and I have kids all corresponding ages... it makes it so fun that our kids are the best of friends!)

Aisley was loving the goats... and they were lovin her! lol
This one was trying to crawl onto her stroller!

Fun Family Weekend -Pine! July 2010

We had a FUN weekend up in Pine back at the end of July. Scott & Oksana flew in to spend a week with us, so we rented a cabin up in the mountains and a lot of the family was there!

We had such a fun time! Mark and I were the first ones up to the mtns on Friday so we took the kids for a 4-wheeler ride (while we waited for the rest of the fam to get there) up to the Trinities mtn range..... which ended up being quite a long and dusty ride...lol! Kids survived it though, and it was gorgeous!

Adi - after taking off her helmet...Lol.. nice mustache!

This is the only picture I had of the Fun cabin

We did some boating, tubing, skiing, wakeboarding, and playing on the beach! These two Beach Babes were so cute together! Uliana and Aisley at 9 months.

The Boat was also nice for putting babies to sleep ;)

The last day we found some awesome natural Hot Springs... right on the side of the main river, so you could float down in the cold water and then go over to the side for a nice hot soak!

Jeff & Mikaela soakin in the "Hot Pots"

Mark and Aldon hiking back up the river (left side of pic) gorgeous view!

It was so sunny, we eventually moved that shade canopy right over the Hot Pot so the kids could play and we wouldn't get sunburnt, it was like we had our own private Hot tub!

Such a fun family weekend! Already wanna go back!
