The 4th of July!

I love this holiday, it is always a fun filled day with lots to do and usually sunshine! This year didn’t disappoint…

we started the day early with the Idaho Falls parade…

(yes the Chukars had a float, and yes this was the first time all day I remembered I had a camera)

Then it was off to a birthday party for our 4th of July niece…

and we can’t forget the other 2 adorable nieces that were there…

then it was off to Menan for yet another parade…

then home for a quick nap… oh wait that didn’t happen. David and I ran to Little Ceasers for a pizza before parking to walk over a mile to our reserved spot our friends so patiently had been waiting at since the Idaho Falls parade was over.

*these are friends nonetheless, but they weren’t the ones who saved us a spot. ha! Why didn’t I get any pictures to give credit where credit is do?

(kacie, Jeral, me, David)

when did my brother get that much taller than me? And who let him out of the house in those shoes?

yes we were behind a tree at the river, but we just walked back into the street and it was a great view. Vanderslot sure knows how to put on a show, this is maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve EVER been down to the actual river to enjoy the show and boy did I enjoy!

I hope everyone’s 4th of July was as great as ours!!

Sunday July 3rd

I worked and then we went over to our friends Derek and Shana for a BBQ and fireworks…

I only got a few pictures but we had a lot of fun. And yes, I fell asleep during their firework show, not that it wasn’t awesome but I had a long day… and night before.

Saturday July 2nd

went to

then

ending the night with fireworks a Rigby Lake! What a great way to start the weekend!

1st camping trip of the season…

I love camping…

I love weekends/Sundays off in the summer…

I love my husband…

I love our four wheeler…

I love that my husband spends WWAAAYYYY too much money on guns…

I love s’mores over the campfire… and roasting weenies…

I love warm weather…

I love the eye sores all the windmills are bringing to the place we take our cows…

I love smelling like camp fire…

I love sleeping in the back of my hubbys truck, all snuggled up to that man, under the wide open sky that is covered with stars…

And I especially love coming home and taking a shower when all the fun is over!

David and Ahliya going for a ride…

David cutting firewood…

Getting camp set up, while Enrique and Ahliya blows bubbles…

Practicing our shooting skills… of course Dave is good, but I’m pretty good myself. Everyone let our a big wowza when I hit a can on my first shot.

Here’s to many more camping weekends to come… 

On a side note: Roz & B left PA @ 7:00 this morning and are Idaho bound. YIPPPEEE!!!

Do you know…

I have entirely too much hair?

now you do!

Baseball/day off…

Elise had a baseball game last night and it was so fun watching her and the other 6/7 year olds on machine pitch, some of these kids have mad skill.

Isn’t she adorable? Speaking of cute my other 2 nieces are equally as precious.

Gaby going in for a kiss

and I like kisses too!

Love these girls!

and he’ll be such a good daddy some day! He can’t get enough of these girls.

p.s. Maeleigh got her first bling today…

now for the day off part… I did something special on the 1st day of summer, it was so nice outside I washed my car inside and out, had lunch with the hubby, visited with my mom, went on a walk around Ucon, got ALL my laundry done for the week, the entire house clean, and then I did it… I shaved my legs AND painted my toes! Seriously, those last 2 are an accomplishment if you know me at all you know I rarely do either of those things let alone at the same time. And if you don’t know me… I think its probably been since our wedding I’ve done those chores the same day, or week for that matter.

Here’s to a fabulous summer!

-Roz and B will be home in less than 2 weeks!!! The count down is on, and that means a VK for me!!! YAY!

Opening Day…

There are very few things I love more than Opening Day. I love baseball! What do I love about baseball you ask?

-being outside

-spending it with my favorite people

-lots of pretty scenery (really how do they make the grass look like that?) and smells

-eating sunflower seeds (without worrying about getting the shells everywhere but the cup)

-lots of people to stare at… and judge (ha, sad but true)

-something about the game itself I just love.

And my favorite thing about baseball is…

Nachos and Beer! I am not a huge beer fan… it’s true. But there is something about eating nacho’s, sippin on a cold beverage, watching the game, in the fresh and open air, with my hubby in his sexy glasses that gets me every time! (sorry Grandma if it makes you feel any better by “a cold beverage” I mean only 1 )

and I love empire butts… but that’s beside the point.

Hopefully the Chukars will do better the rest of the season, we lost last night 20-0. OUCH!

And we had some nasty white trash girls (did I just say that?) behind us that were seriously stinky and letting their baby cry instead of picking her up and figuring out what she needed obviously it was something she couldn’t have been 3 months old! Also, a guy in front of us who David said “needs a muzzle”

Overall we had a great time, and I can’t wait for the next 37 home games!
