Some Summer Activities

 We've stayed super busy this summer with all of the fun activities!  This was Em and Carter at the Williams Family reunion.

Neil and I WON the Washer Toss game at the reunion, yep we're amazing!! It was a lot of fun.

 Our favorite hang out for the Summer, Seven Peaks Salt Lake! We go twice a week, usually.

 Because of my pregnant belly, I can't do much as far as going on slides, so I mostly sit and watch and enjoy soaking in the sun while hanging by the water.

At the Gateway with one of their favorite cousins, Hannah!

 My parents own about 19 acres of land in Idaho and this year we took advantage of the beautiful area and went camping.  We wish we could go more often.  It's an amazing piece of land with nothing around but the company of others. 

 My parents came down to help get it all ready for the summer, it was a lot of work, but thanks to them and their equipment it gone done fairly quickly.

 My Brother build a rope swing years ago, and it was hit with all of the kids this year

The Sabin Family

Us!

 Everything there is so green and peaceful.  They have a creek running through their property, but because of the lack of rain, it was dry this time around.

Our new tent!  Thanks to Brother and Shannon for an awesome Christmas present.

 With our passes we get to go to Trafalga.  EmmaLee loves all of the rides...

                                                                 And more rides...

                                                  and climbing....

 Where's Carter you ask?? He only wanted to play golf.  Go figure.

 We got to watch our sweet nephew Carson!  The kids have a blast when he comes.

And last but not least, EmmaLee lost her first tooth this summer!  She was one happy girl.

5 Months

I'm over half way through!  After I passed the first trimester, everything has gone really well. I've gotten a lot of my energy back and my house stays so much more clean! (Who wants to do dishes or make dinner, when all you can think about is throwing up?? Gross! So glad those days are over!)  The weight gain is no fun, but it's all worth it for that sweet little girl! Because I love summer so much, the time has passed by fast.  I love soaking up the sun and playing outside with the kids. Oh how I love summer!  I can't wait for fireworks, the green grass, all of the parades and even the people!  The swimming, the water fights, staying out til dark and just being with my family.

It's a . . . .

It's a Girl! 

We couldn't be more happy!  Especially our little EmmaLee!  She can't wait for the new arrival. We're still trying to decide on a name. Hopefully it will come to us soon.  For now, it's just nice to know we have a healthy baby girl.

Our last minute trip to Portland!

 For EmmaLee and Carter's birthday, they saved up their money and bought a waterproof, and shock proof camera to share!  They had a blast taking pictures, on our spur of the moment trip to Portland!

This really was a last minute trip, we booked our hotels late Tuesday night and left early Thursday morning!  The Langford's were able to get the time off too, it was crazy how everything worked out.   After waking up at 3:30 AM for the drive, this was the first stop at an amazing play land at the Carl's Jr. in Boise.  The kids actually did amazing in the car our whole time driving, it made the trip that much more enjoyable!

 Some of these pictures are out of order, but this is the kids in the car, on our way to the coast.

 If you've ever been to Portland, these roads will look very familiar.  They basically look like this!  It's very green and beautiful.

 This is at Cannon Beach.  It was cold and windy.  But a sand castle was a must!

This is Haystack rock behind us.  If you've ever seen Goonies.

Lunch at Mo's! The picture doesn't do the view justice, it's right by the beach.

At Tillamook!  For Cheese and of course, Ice cream!

The boys played a bunch of Disc Golf while in Portland.  This is Hadley and Carter holding the frisbee's.  Everything there, again, is so green

Try throwing your disc through all of these trees!!  It made it a lot of fun!

We took a small trip to Vancouver Washington for the afternoon. We went to the Farmer's market and played on the playground there.

The kids in Vancouver, playing in the water.  it was a really nice day.

The city of Portland, we played and rode the scooters while looking at the view!

At another Disc Golf course in Pendleton, Oregon

Mindy and I being good wives and letting our husbands play disc golf!

Cheese! At the pool!

One of EmmaLee's favorite part of any trip is the swimming pool at the hotel!  She is getting to be a great swimmer!

Mindy and Hadley

This was a real star fish they pulled out and let us touch. We were there for low tide, and got to see a bunch of the wildlife that is under the ocean when it's pulled back.

These Star Fish are attached to the rock, later in the day, they were covered by the ocean.

If you can't see him, this was Joel looking for one of his discs, I had to post it because of how green and beautiful it was!

Neil picking up his disc he lost also!

Em and Kenz

At the end of our fun adventure, we were able to stop at my brother's house in Boise!  We had such a great time.  Joe and Shannon were so nice to us, since we couldn't go camping, they made us a fire pit to roast hot dogs and smores!  Yummy!

Doesn't get better than this!

Cute Joe and Shannon!

We had such a fun trip!  For it being so last minute everything worked out so well! The kids even did great with the 1500 miles we drove!  I wish we could do stuff like that more often.
