Roaring Springs

















Yesterday, we met up with my parents, my sister and kids for a fun filled day at Roaring Springs water park. We had a great time playing in the water and going down the slides. Grandpa Jack and Alysha rode the new Zero Gravity ride and we had a nice picnic. Everyone played hard and was tired by the end.

Malheur County Fair














 As if Fusion Fest wasn't enough for one weekend, we also danced with our troop at the Malheur County Fair. We did five group dances, then Mariah and I each did a solo and then our duet at the end. Yes, we are tired!  It was a lot of fun, though. :)





















When we were done the kids and I walked around the fair and found some yummy snacks. :)

Fusion Fest

























This year my niece Mariah and I decided to do a duet at Fusion Fest. Mariah created an awesome choreography for us and we made fun new costumes. I wish I could say I danced it perfectly, I didn't but we had a lot of fun...

Floating the Boise River























Yesterday, we met my sister and her family at Barber Park to float the Boise River. We arrived early and had the place to ourselves then enjoyed a quiet float down the river. We stopped by the city of rocks and played on a rope swing for a little while. Once we made it to Julia Davis park we pulled all the rafts out and had lunch. Followed by playing in the fountain. It was a great day.

Ruby's house
















This week I didn't have much planned so I volunteered to help Grandma Reva watch Ruby's 6 kids while she had to work. The kids had a great time playing with their cousins while Reva and I played with Landon and Audrey. I tried to take on most of the diaper changing, dish washing and clean up so Reva had more time playing and baking with the kids. Above is a photo of Grandma Reva helping Landon build his train set. Mean while the big girls where doing a fashion show, Alaina was making a fort/store, Layla was a pretend baker and Owen was the customer. We ended the evening with yummy homemade vegetable soup and a movie.

The next day after grandma's wonderful blueberry pancakes the girls performed a music concert for us. We went to check on the chickens to find that they were running free so we had a chicken round up. Alyse helped Grandma Reva make homemade pizza for lunch while the kids played outside. Once Landon went down for a nap I took the bigger kids out to swim in the pool for three hours. Layla wasn't very happy with me because I made her keep her life jacket on. Then Alyse helped Grandma Reva make homemade marshmallows. The kids were all like little vultures while they covered them with chocolate. Once we got the kitchen back in order Ashley and I headed home.
