Maine.... Sister and Grandma



 I was home from my girls weekend one day and two nights and then left for Maine to see my sister Jennifer and Grandma. My grandma grew up in Maine and has gone back the past few years to visit, she's amazing! She's 92 and still traveling on her own. It was good to see her... and my little sister, who's  pregnant with her second little girl right now. We were able to watch General Conference together on Saturday and Sunday, and Jennifers sister in law made Haddock Chowder for Sunday dinner, my grandma loves Haddock!! It was really good! We had a good time visiting with her for a few days.
        My sisters little girl and I at the beach.... not really beach weather... her name is Regan, she is a doll!!

 I just adored her! She is a ham!



This is the cute little outfit her aunty Sara bought her. :)

Annual Girls Weekend (McCall, Idaho)

These are two of my best friends... Stephanie Pyrah and Sarah Stice. We grew up together in Alaska when I lived there. We all met when we were about 11 and started Young Womens together. Some of my favorite childhood memories and spiritual experiences from my youth happened with these girls. We have been getting togehter every year for the last four years. This year was in McCall Idaho.... it was the cutest little town. The weather was perftect! We had a great and relaxing time. Next year we are considering getting together with our husbands... we will see! :)



 Sarah is a super fit mama! He husband and her have this cute gym attached to their garage. Sarah is certified in CrossFit and teaches out of her gym to a bunch of women from her ward, so Steph and I decided we'd try it. It was tough!! But so fun!! She was incredibly encouraging and motivating. And SUPER STRONG!!!
 This was our fun little trip to the local thrift store :)



 FACIALS!!

 COOKING

 And RELAXATION... hot tub and pedi's.


This was the house we rented.

Easton turned 4!

Easton turned 4 on the 6th of October. We started the day early as usualy with scripture study and had him open a few gifts on Don's lap so that we could have a little party with the family before the day began. We are rarely all together at home!! So we had to do it early. He had a great start to his day!



            He had a Spiderman/Superhero party.
It was fun to set up for him, he was REALLY excited!


 He got a Transformer outfit.

 Don did a magic show for all his little friends. (such a nice perk to be married to a magician!) All the kids LOVED it!

 We played Pin the Spider on the Web.

 We also went to Build A Bear.... it was really neat to do with him. He named his bear Peter Parker and dressed him in a Spiderman costume. He was able to help stuff him and pick his heart and even gave him a bath... and also he was able to record his own voice for the bears voice. It was really fun.


It was a fun day for him.

also.... this summer....

Kennedy and Easton LOVE to play together!


 Mama and Jax
 This lady is a live statue, we tipped her and she let us take a photo with her. Kind of creepy.
 We HAD to!!! He looks like him, right? I had to force him to let me take this photo.
 More poses from Kennedy.... so cute.
My boys think they are so cool... and they kind of are! :)

and.....by the way.....we did this too!

We had a lot of water play this summer.... I am so sad to see it gone. :( We found this great pool not to far away with a big waterslide and lots of fun toys and a wave pool. I was so sad we found it about the last week it was open, and it was really cheap! Next year we will visit a lot more often! All the cousins had fun playing there the last day it was open.

 Easton and his little buddy Matthew playing in the water.
 We also took the boys to Seattle for Labor Day weekend. We had a good time shopping and visiting the sites and seeing my brother Jeremy and his family.

 Me and my neice Claire (ie Claire Bear).. she was so hyper and funny when we rode this, I said to her "you are crazy!" and she quickly replied "No, I'm not! You just don't know how to have fun!" She is so funny!!!
 So... Jer had this great place he took us to for Wings... Jax thought he would show us all up and eat the most HOT ones... this is the result, he's wiping tears from his eyes! And Jeremy is loving it!

Yellow Stone Bear World

On our little trip we also went to Yellow Stone Bear World..... it was a fun little place to visit.
 Easton loved seeing the bears...this one was showing off!
 Don was really impressed with the size of this elk's...uhh... horns. :)

 Easton and I saw Bambi too!
 Ooooo....SCARY!!!

 This peacock was really cool... never opened her wings, but always posed for the camera.
And...this ladies and gentlemen, is why I love this man!

Road tripn' baby

Our EFY trip was fun on the way back, Easton just had so much fun with us... He is just a happy and fun little boy.
 The headphones and little TV was a lifesaver!!!
 And the trip was really exhausting!
