Swimming lessons 2nd round...

 We did a 2nd round of swimming lessons this year and it was amazing to see the difference it made in the kids!  They were much less timid and learned way more the 2nd round than they did the 1st time.  It was hectic and crazy but it was fun to see the kids get better and more comfortable in the water.

Jake's Birthday...

 We are so lucky to have this man in our lives!  He is such an amazing husband, dad, man and friend.  We really couldn't ask for more from the man in our lives.  We try to make birthday's special around here but it is always hard to come up with something for him.  We ended up at Rigby lake this year so he could practice his swimming and he biked home to practice for his triathlon.  We then had his favorite dinner, sloppy jose, and enjoyed being together as a family.  We love you Jake (DAD)!!!

!st Dam in Logan...

 The last time we were in Logan we had some spare time so we decided to go up to 1st dam to feed the ducks and then take the kids to Aggie Icecream to see where Jake and I meet and see Utah State.  We had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful city of Logan!

Ross Park...

 My friend and I needed a break and my Mom wanted to take the girls for a few days, so we met in Pocatello at Ross Park water park.  We had such a fun time! The kids enjoyed every part of the park.  They were hesitant to go in the lazy river, but after forcing them to they LOVED it.  Anthony would even jump into the river inside the tube...it was so much fun.  Owen sat on my lap while we traveled around the river and if we would have gone a couple more times around, I think he would have fallen to sleep.  Can't wait to go next year!

A camping we will go...

 We love camping together!  This time was no exception...we had such a wonderful time!  We hiked, we road the fourwheeler, we sat in the creek (it was HOT), we fished, we shot ground squirrels, we rode bikes, we got dirty, we ate yummy food, we roasted marshmallows and we created WONDERFUL memories!!

Rigby Lake Triathlon...

 Jake is now a Triathlete!  He did such a great job, especially being super sick all week leading up to the race.  We had a fun time 'training' with him and going to Rigby Lake about twice a week and watching him learn how to swim!  He is super inspiring to be physically fit and active.  Love him for all he does for me and my kids to teach us how to be active!  His brother Jared did it with him too, which was fun!  They both did great.  Jake's final times were :  TOTAL: 1 hour 33 minutes, swim 29:31, bike 40:52 and run 22:59.  Way to go Jake!
