More fun

We went swimming yesterday with the girls friends to our local swimming pool and the girls all had a blast!
We went about 11:00 and stayed until after 3:00. They were all very tired by the end and Brytlee was very ready for a nap.

They all climbed the stairs to the slide about 100 times. Brytlee and I only made it about 20 or so before my legs didn't want to go up any more.




Brytlee with a big mouth full of ham and saying cheese at the same time.
They all loved jumping off of the diving board and doing little tricks each time. Brytlee almost jumped off it but then chickened out right as she was trying to jump.... it was funny.



Brytlee is such a good little bike rider. We have had a problem with her bikes getting ran over by the car.... so her little bike had to be put away, and the next size up was given to her and she can ride it just fine. (She likes to put her bike as close to the tires as she can and then when you back up it gets ran over by the back tire... we have had this happen to her trike, and now two bikes).
Frogs.... at our house we are building there are frogs all over the place. The girls love to have pets so this is our new pet for the next couple of days....



Pretty girl!!!!!




my girls love to put on makeup.

Meteor Shower

All last week there was a Meteor shower going on each night. So one of the nights that we were at my Parents house my dad put out a blanket and pillows on the ground outside so we could all go out and watched the sky. We went out on a great night and saw some really big meteors. Alexis LOVED it and wanted to stay up all night watching them. On some of the bigger ones she would get a little nervous that they were going to hit the earth and she would tell me "that made my stomach hurt".
I have never seen a meteor shower before and it was such a cool experience. We saw a ton of them, and it was just like watching fireworks. With each one that we all saw everyone would EWWWWW and AHHHHHH over them.

Trip to Idaho Falls

We went to Idaho Falls for a week of playing, swimming, and seeing family! We are going to be starting school soon, so before we are tied down to home we wanted to go and stay for a while.
The girls wanted to go swimming every day of course.

Alexis was diving and doing front flips into the pool. She has become a very good swimmer. Elizabeth has gotten a lot better also. She took off the life jacket and then wouldn't put it back on the whole time. I was a little nervous but she got better and better each day.

One of my new favorite places to eat in Rigby is Gator Jacks. They have the best sandwiches ever! We went out to eat with my parents and with all the great backgrounds the girls wanted to make it into a photo shoot.










Alexis had to have me take a picture of her making a wish into the well..... very cute!


They all had to show me that the gator was eating their hands.

We had such a great time while we were with my family, and the day's went way to fast! I didn't get to do all that I wanted to do and so we may have to make another trip back before school starts. We did a lot of shopping at Albertsons, and got some more great deals!!! One of the best deals was the All small and mighty. With coupons and the kick back I got10 of them for free. I had to by a pack of gum to pay for my taxes. (and my gum was more expensive than 10 bottles of the All)
I had to get home on on Thursday because we were doing a yard sale on Saturday so I had a lot to get ready. We also had a birthday party for Ryan's dad Denton on Friday, and I had to color and cut a couple of peoples hair, and lots of other things that I needed to get done.
The Yard sale turned out alright, (didn't make as much as we did in the past).... we did it with Julie, Haley, Alecia, Judy, and my friend Stephanie. It was fun to have a big group, and just hang out.

Knapp Family Reunion

We went to the Knapp Family Reunion and had a great time like always. There was great food, and a lot of family to talk to. The girls have a blast every year, and love going on hikes and exploring.


Brytlee has become a Grandma's girl


Cute girls!

Temple Trip

This past Wed. our Primary had a super activity to go and see the temple. I was asked to drive so I was able to go along and take pictures.


There was a lot of kids that showed up, and for the most part they were all really good.
They all got to be in a group picture in front of the Temple.

Elizabeth was not in the mood for pictures
They gave the kids a short lesson and talked about temples, and then had them all sing I love to see the temple while they all looked at the temple. It was a neat experience.
