Horsey Ride

It's too bad Dash isn't big enough to ride yet, cause I think Jake is getting tired of being the horse. But Hank and Case sure love it!

Dash

When Jake decided earlier this summer that he now likes to ride horses he also decided to build a horse pen so we could get one of our own. He set all of the poles himself and had the neighbor kid help him weld it. It turned out pretty good. But the most exciting part is ...............

We now have a horse in the pen. Well he is just a colt so we can't ride him yet, but he is soo cute. The first few days he was kinda nervous and wouldn't let us touch him too much, but now he comes right up and will let us pet him. We named him Dash. I don't know who likes him more, Hank or Jake. They will both sit out there with Dash for hours.

Mini Family Vacation

Last weekend we went on kind of a mini family vacation. We got to Idaho Falls in the evening and walked along the trail by the waterfalls in front of the temple then we headed back to the hotel for some swimming. The next morning we went to bear world and then spent the rest of the day at the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot. It was good to get out and do something fun even if it was just for one night.

All of the waterfalls there are so pretty.

Lex and Angela came with us. Hank had fun playing with his cousins.

This is what we would look like as bears.

Lex and Jake having a race down the hallway at the hotel. I bet the people on the floor below thought there was an earthquake or something.

At bear world you drive your car through a big area where they have a ton of bears. They are right on the side of the road and some were even walking on the road right next to our car. We all thought it was pretty cool, except for Hank. Well he thought it was cool, but he was scared to death that the bears were going to get us. He like the petting zoo much better. Hank LOVES animals, so he was in heaven.

Sonya and her girls came also came up to the fair, I didn't get any pictures, but we had fun walking around looking at all of the animals and booths. And seeing Harli's cute 4-H projects she entered in the fair.

17 Miracles

Yesterday was mine and Jake's anniversary. 4 YEARS! It's crazy how fast time goes. Anyways to celebrate we went to the theater here in Burley to see the new church movie 17 Miracles. I just wanted to give it a shout out and say if you get the chance you should totally go see it. Or if you can't make it to the theater trust me you won't regret buying it when it comes out on video. I think this is the best church movie I have ever seen. We both loved it.

Fishing

Last week we went to Thousand Springs with some of our family. The guys took the canoes and went fishing while the ladies stayed and watched the kids play in the water. They came back with a lot of fish. We had a lot of fun.

Family Pictures

My niece Makala took our family pictures. I was really happy with how they turned out. I know there are tons of pictures in this post, but I just couldn't choose which ones to post she did such a good job!!

Thanks Makala!

Happy Birthday Case!

August 4th was Case's 1st Birthday! I can't believe he is 1 already. Look how little he used to be. For his birthday we had a bbq with family. For his cake I bought a giant cupcake pan and made two of them. I think they turned out pretty cute.

Case enjoying his very own cupcake!

Happy 1st Birthday Case!!!
