IDAHO!!!

The kids waiting to ride the airplane! No one was happier than me that we were flying instead of driving! When the first flight took off, the kids all squealed with delight! Several passengers looked at them and smiled! They were so good!







Olivia liked peeking over the seat to watch movies with the girls.






Growing up, my Dad always got our loose teeth out for us, so I thought it was pretty neat that he was able to get Gracie's first loose tooth out. She was so brave and afterwards all the cousins came running asking Grandpa to get their teeth out too! So adorable!



She wanted to draw a picture for the tooth fairy.


The kids loved getting rides on the John Deere lawnmower!














Getting a ride with their second cousins . . .


















Grandma must have the magic touch because she is the only one that got Cooper to ride up front.




It was so cold when we went to Yellowstone, but thankfully Grandma came prepared!













Me laughing because I couldn't figure out how to take selfies without cutting someone off . . .























The kids weren't fans of the rotten smell!

















Before we came to Idaho, Gracie was telling me that it snows in Idaho and rains in Alabama. I told her that it wouldn't snow while we were there though because we were going in June. Boy did she tell me off when she angrily said, "You said it wouldn't snow!" Haha!


I came in late, but apparently there had been a snowball fight and Lindsey managed to throw a snowball right down Kirsten's shirt! Everyone was laughing so hard!











Idaho Falls Zoo . . .













































































Kirsten and Sam's wedding!





Elizabeth was so sweet to watch the kids for us while we attended the sealing. Thank you so much Elizabeth!






When they first came out of the temple, Cooper yelled, "Kirsten!!!" and went running to give her a hug. It was adorable!























The kids were so cute holding her train . . . until Cooper wiped his nose on it! Little stinker!





Dancing with Daddy and Granddad . . .






Elizabeth came to the rescue once again by entertaining the kids with her Nook!











Tim, Matt, and Granddad hiked Jennie Lake.





















While the boys were away, we took the kids to the park to play.





































The kids always love helping Grandma in her garden.






We had so much fun roasting marshmallows and hotdogs!




















Watching the fireworks . . .











The kids were so excited to camp out in the yard!
















Cute little old Bubble!


The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins!




One day while we were in Idaho, Cooper was looking at an engagement picture of me and Tim. He asked Granny who was in the picture and when she told him it was his Mom and Dad he said, "Oh, Mommy was new!" Haha!


Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Steve were able to come up too!








Getting ready for their photoshoot . . .







Olivia has always been a thumb twittler. Whenever we hold her, we stick our thumb out for her and she grabs on with her little hand and starts "twittling" away. Lindsey held out her thumb to Olivia at night to help settle her down. Little sweeties!





Sometimes Olivia crawled up into bed with Lindsey and fell asleep.









Cute cousins eating a snack . . .







Doing arts and crafts . . .













Poor Granny broke her leg not too long before we came.









The kids had a blast on the fourwheeler!


















Getting ready to have a ton of fun at I-Jump in Idaho Falls! We had a blast! Thanks Granny!














Gracie and Kassie were best buds!











Lindsey was helping Olivia get to the top by pushing on her little bum! Ha!



Now Gracie is helping Olivia . . .







They had a ton of fun getting wet!






























































































Sarah and Olivia with their "cheese" faces!


Heidi and Sadie Bug!



Getting a ride with Grandpa . . .







































Grandpa's old truck and Boo Boo Chicken . . .


























Trip to the Zoo . . .






















































While the family was at the zoo, I had a roommate reunion and I took Livi with me . . .

Having fun at a park in Blackfoot!











































After lots of begging, I gave in and let the kids play in the water, and they loved it!








Old PB and Bubble . . .




I told them they could just wade in the water, but they ended up stripping down and going all in! Haha!








Enjoying some fireworks on our last night in Idaho . . .














Love these pictures Heidi took of their little excited squeals!


















Brayden getting a ride on Granny's walker . . .


We miss everyone so much! The kids keep asking if we can get a house in Idaho. Hopefully someday. Love you all so much!
