Summer fun

Front yard camping

 In June, we decided camping with the kids would be fun.  But we know our kids are knew camping would be fun for about 20 minutes.  So we decided to camp in our front yard.  Yes, the front yard, we are that classy. The kids wanted to be able to see Grandma and Grandpa's house while we were camping.  

We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and when it got a little later, we set up a TV and watched Wreck it Ralph.  The kids did have a lot of fun but nobody ended up sleeping outside (are you surprised?).  Maybe we will be brave and really camp next year, or at least stay outside all night.

We built a house

We built a house last year.  We broke ground on August 28, 2012.  We built with Levi Jarvis with Liberty Homes and it was great.  The only problems we had were with Fort Hall for getting our well and septic put in.  Because of the well and septic, we were unable to be in before Christmas but closed on the house and moved in the first weekend in January.  Since then we have put in a yard and completely finished the basement.  So we now have 6 beds, 3 baths, a storage room, and cold storage room.  We love our new house and the memories we are making here!!

Tee Ball

Olivia was able to play tee ball this Summer.  Her and Emrie were on the same team which they thought was pretty neat.  They did more talking to each other than actually playing ball and they may say their favorite part was the treat at the end but I think they still had fun. 

Olivia was really shy (surprise surprise) and would not run for the ball.  She told me there were too many other kids that would go after it and she didn't like that.  She hit the ball well though.  She had to use the tee a couple of times, which she really did not like.  We would practice at home a lot which was fun for the whole family.
