Pictures from our vacation in Idaho & Utah.

Put together the puzzle to see this adorable picture!

What I look like now at 7 months!

So, here is a picture of me almost 30 weeks along. Some say I only look 5 month's pregnant, but I sure don't feel like 5 months! (By the way, that water spot on my back is NOT sweat, it is from a water balloon HONEST!)

Locked out!!!

We just recently came back from a short trip to northern California to see Justin's youngest sister, Natalie get sealed in the Sacramento Temple to Marshall Haymore. The morning before she got married, Justin's parent's accidentally got their keys locked in their car in Yuba City. Below is a picture of Justin and his dad trying to break in their van. We eventually had to call the tow truck and he saved us. We luckily got to the temple in time!!! Everything turned out wonderfully in the end!

Too tired to eat!

While we were eating dinner at my mom's house, Alison was falling asleep. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to record this little video of her nodding off. Don't worry, I put her down for a nap shortly after I shot this video and she had a nice late nap and felt much better afterwords! It's hard to put kids down for naps when you are on vacation!

Dress up

When we were visiting Grandma and Grandpa a week or so ago, Grandma played dress up with the kids. They had fun dressing up in Grandma and Grandpa's clothes.

Daddy's little helper!

Here is a cute picture I took of Alison helping Justin clean the gas tanks that he found for his truck at a junk yard the other day. She loves being with her daddy and getting dirty!

We Love America!

Since Independence day is coming up soon, I thought I would post this cute picture of the girls wearing their matching heart flag shirts that we bought for them. Happy early 4th of July everyone! (This was taken on Kaylee's 2nd to last day of school for her "America" performance.)

Our (Justin's) New (old) Truck

So Justin decided to buy this truck and sell his old one. It is a 1978 Chevy Silverado. Part of the reason he wanted it was so he could fit the whole family in it! It is rather pretty long because it has a long bed AND a crew cab! It has newly upholstered seats and a new paint job too- so that part is nice. So anyway we are hoping to sell his other Chevy truck quickly, so that it will help pay for this one! But I am NOT selling my suburban! Anyone wanna buy a 1983 Chevy Silverado 4X4 pickup? Look at the picture below! It runs great!

One year down, 12 more years left....and then there's college!

Kaylee has graduated from Kindergarten! Here is her teacher, Mrs. Raebel with Kaylee. She was a wonderful Kindergarten teacher and Kaylee will miss her! (Sometimes Kaylee calls me Mrs. Raebel without knowing it! Then I have to ask her if I look like Mrs. Raebel!)

All the Kindergartners were given these silly glasses to wear. They had a lot of fun laughing at each others silly faces!

Below is a video of her class singing "Days of the Week" for us parents. Kaylee was chosen to help lead the class! They also sang a cute song to help them remember the months of the year, but the batteries died in my camera, so I couldn't record that one!
