SO much going on...so little time to blog!

I took the kids to circus in Idaho Falls on Monday and it was amazing! I was super impressed! The kids had a great time riding the animals and watching all the "freaky" shows. Super fun!





On Father's Day we went for a walk to the Nature Park and fed ducks. Unfortunately they were not very hungry, but we kept feeding them those carbs anyway!


Tess made this cool balloon hat out of duck tape, balloons, and jewelry. Very Creative! :)

We went to Egin Lakes one day to swim and play in the sand. I can't believe I have lived within 20 minutes of this place and have never been there! Another way fun outing!

Piper made Joel an apron for Father's day...he wore it proudly all day...even napping in it!


This is us waiting for Joel to race at the air show. My kids were all very anxious about being there that morning because of the crash we saw the night before while at the preshow, and  I must admit I was a little nervous to witness that again, too!  We were told to be there at 9 a.m. so we were, then they switched the times to 11:30 ish. I was so mad! We ended up going to breakfast with Joel's mom whish was so great, but still ended up waiting for a very long time for his 5 minutes of "fame". :)

This is the chicken coop we spent hours and hours painting. Turned out great though. Our chickens and turkeys have it pretty good!

Keaton's favorite chicken he named Cole. This chicken lets Keaton hold him and treat him it's a cat. So funny to watch.

Cool pic of our car with a plane at the air show/ drag race

Keaton holding our pet salamander we named Sally. It died/fried 2 days after we caught it. It was actually pretty big...this is it's little head peeping through Keaton's fingers. Poor thing.

We went on a hike to Cave Falls...actually we meant to go to Sheep Falls, but couldn't find it. Instead we ended up at Cave Falls, then followed the river on a really nice walking trail about .5 miles down. The kids loved it. Sadie said it was her favorite summer day so far.  It was a beautiful and perfect way to spend the day!


And of course, no hike would be complete without a trip to the soda fountain for a huckleberry shake! Love these things!!!!

I'm so bummed I didn't know about the circus!! That looked like a ton of fun. I'm glad you and your kids got to go and enjoy that!

We thought we would be able to see the air show from our house, but people said most of the tricks were close to the ground. We would have come to support Joel in his little race if we knew he was there :) I bet he loved doing that!

So fun to see all of your updates, your family is so gorgeous Michelle!!

I am sorry I haven't been around stalking your blog lately. Haven't even been on my own, but it was so nice catching up and seeing pics of your beautiful little family! :)

You guys have been busy little bees! I'm scared of the circus, so I'm glad you had a good time - those crazy carnies! We can't wait to see you all.
