Water parks, Friends, and Summer Camp.

 We got to get together with some of our Gibb friends while they were in town.

We took advantage of the summer weather, and headed to Rexburg Rapids for some fun!

The kids had a blast, and I will do anything to be outside in the sunshine! :)

Caden was at camp that week. This boy loved going to Pine Basin last year, and wasn't about to mis it this year. He even chose to go over his birthday!

Can't believe I have am 11 year old.... where does the time go?!

Brooke Renee Ellis

 Four wonderful years ago I was blessed with this little angel:

I can't believe how fast time has flown by. It really goes by all too fast!

Brooke at 4 loves to draw, color, paint, anything that involves paper.

She is my little bestie. She love preschool, but there are times she tells me she'd rather stay home with me. It just melts my heart!

She loves to be a big girl, and is so happy to be four!

She loves her siblings, and looks up to each and everyone of them.

And being the baby, she of course runs this house. She has everyone at her beckon call. :)

Brooke loved every present she got!

Brookies cake:

I love my little girl, and so glad she is a part of my family.

Happy Birthday Brooke!

4th Celebrations.

So we arrived home on the 4th. at 6:30. Had an amazing BBQ and then headed to the hill for the firework show. I was dog tried(up at 3:30 to head to the airport for our long trip home) but we couldn't miss out on the festivities!
Baby Lila was supper sweet. I missed that girl. Brooke and Kenadie had an amazing reunion.:)
They played on the playground while we waited for the sun to set!

Look at those beauties!

The kids enjoying the fireworks. Kenadie's face describes it all!

Afterwords I took a tumble down the hill holding Kenadie. It was quite Embarrassing and REALLY painful. I got an insta-bruise on my knee, and yes the one that has been giving me problems. I think a marathon is officially out:( Aiming for a half instead.
Now we are trying to get back into the swing of things, and back on Minnesota time. Holy cow this time difference is kicking my butt!
Now for the blogging frenzy! I'm going to update in order so scroll down if you want to catch up on what we've been doing the past 3 weeks!
Happy Fourth Everyone!
