IdaHO, first day there!

Our first day in Idaho - Jeremy went golfing with his dad, brothers, cousin in-law, and Uncle, while the women folk stayed and played with the kids at Jeremy's grandparents house. We saw the horses, played in the pool, made little craft purses, and played with Lane and Sheila's kitties (we stayed at there house while we were there). Good times!

Cousins, Cupcakes, and Snails!

We had a pre-fourth of July party before we headed up to Idaho for the fourth. Jeremy's Aunt Sheila came down from Idaho to Salt Lake to take her kids to the Stadium of Fire in Provo. Jeremy's cousins - newly married Tyler and his wife Laura, Kyle, Ashten, and Tregan (same age as Madison, they had a good time playing together) - we got to visit with them. Jeremy's Uncle Lane and cousin Derek stayed in Idaho to work and they also have a missionary in the field - Mitch. (6 kids - 6 cousins of Jeremy). Before Jeremy's mission when we were dating, his Aunt Sheila, Uncle Lane and their four boys used to drive me back and forth from Rexburg to Salt Lake, so I feel a little old seeing 10 year old Tyler Married and baby Kyle almost ready to drive! When the kids were playing together, they found a bunch of snails and had a good time playing with them and naming them, YUCK! I made firework cupcakes too!

Visit with the Larsen's

While we were in Utah visiting Jeremy's Family, we got to visit with my brother Jack, his wife Amanda, and their very adorable boy Corban. The kids love their cousin Corban, when he talks it is so cute, he kept saying "Wallie" and Madison would laugh - it was so cute! They had a good time splashing in the water fountian - Corban got it in the face a few times and the look on his face was priceless.


Jackson was a little tired, this was the same day as Raging Waters.

Jackson too.
We had a great time. Jeremy, in his younger years, used to work as life guard here. He was good to go on all the fast slides. Even Jackson rode on one of the roller coaster slides - he insisted on going "up stairs" - so Jeremy took him up there and then down the slide - I can't say he loved, because he got dunked at the bottom. Madison loved the slides, Dawson just wanted to watch, but I forced him on one and he said he still just wants to watch. It was a good day!

Hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa's House

We had a great time visiting Jeremy's family in Utah. The kids had a wonderful time playing with their cousins. Jackson and Karli - who are close in age - were very cute when they played together. Madison and Dawson spent most of their time with Jaren and Maya - they all played very well together. I took a ton of pictures on this trip - so my blog will be loaded!
