Summer Fun

We've been very busy around here lately. We went to Utah for a few more horse pulls and had fun there. We stayed with Karen & Dave and had a great time, thanks guys! The girls had a great time playing, of course. Nick was able to shoe a lot of horses while we were down too. He has stayed very busy with horse stuff this spring/summer. My Mom & Dad came up after dropping off Brian at BYU. We had a fun time with them! Lucy always has a hard time when they leave. Wish we lived even just a few hours closer!! While they were here we celebrated my Dad's 49th birthday, next year is the big one!!

We also went down to Lava Hot Springs and had a lot of fun tubing down the river and enjoying the hot springs, of course.

We also went to the "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" production they had in Idaho Falls. Nick's uncle played Joseph! It was amazing!! I'll have to get those pictures. The girls always have fun at the Splash Park in Rexburg!
We had a great 4th of July. Took the horses in the parade in Menan, sadly we have no pictures. Right after the parade got over we headed down to Utah for another horse pull in Lewiston. The horses did awesome! Nick placed 2nd in the HEAVYWEIGHTS! That was real exciting. My Mom & Dad came with Janelle and Brian and Nathan & Alisa also were there! We watched fireworks after and then made the trek back home. Here's a pic of Nick and Lucy on Howdy . . . And here's the best I could get of Kate for now. She's become quite the little walker and is into everything!! She makes life exciting.

Can't Wait!

It won't be long before I get to use this beauty that came in the mail a few weeks ago! My Mom, Janelle, and I have a trip planned to Europe just a few weeks away. Wahoo! I can hardly wait. While I'm there we plan to do some of Germany and Switzerland. My Mom and Janelle will be there a couple weeks longer and will do France and such. Anyone been to Switzerland? Or Austria? Any suggestions of 'must-see' places or neat things? I'm sure it will be amazing no matter where we go. And we will have some awesome tour guides. My aunt & uncle are living in Germany right now, so that will be so fun to see them and have them show us around. Mom & Janelle, see you in Munich!
