Rubik’s

Taydens getting pretty good at the Rubik’s cube. 

And he’s looking pretty adorable doing it. 

Those Summer Nights

An Idaho evening is as about as good as it gets. Seriously, to die for. And the other night was no exceptions. Running through the sprinklers with friends, while the sky shows off it’s beauty. 

The only downside is so much fun makes bedtime hard. But that’s something I can deal with. 

Home Sweet Home

We’ve been back from Texas for a week and not a whole lot has happened. Which has been pretty nice. Beckett and Cache started baseball/t-ball and it’s gone great. Cache was a little nervous. Not about playing, but not knowing all the rules. Beckett is having a great season so far. He’s hitting like a champ and even caught a pop fly at his last game. 

Of course Ky needed in on the pictures too. 

And of course, it wouldn’t be summer without a kick off snow cone from Macs Snow shack. 

And I learned how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. 

A nice slow start to the summer. Just how I like it!! 

Texas 8 9

Not much happening other than driving, driving and more driving. In between the driving, there’s been some crying and whining, fighting and yelling and less patience than before. We did manage to have a little fun between the rough spots though. Scott saw his old friend, Monte, for a little bit in Kansas and we stopped at Cabelas where they happened to have kid fishing set up. 

Texas 5 6 7

The fun just keeps going!! Tuesday definitely did not disappoint. Echo and I woke up early and headed to Waco to check out Magnolia. It was super fun!! Expensive, but fun and its a check off the bucket list. And any extra one on one time with Echo is marvelous. 

When we got home, Justin had a surprise for the kids. Needless to say, they loved it. 

We rested the afternoon in preparation for the Texas Rangers game. The kids, and us, loved it. We sat up quite high, which was awesome, but made Beckett a little nervous. He is scared of heights, but he over came his fear with the help of Uncle Justin and sat at the very tip top. I’ll tell you what, he’s the best uncle there is. 

  

Wednesday we headed to the movie. But it wasn’t a normal movie theater. The seats were recliners! It was a blast. 

Today we went to the worlds largest gas station. Okay, not worlds, but the biggest we’ve ever been to. It was as large as any grocery store. It was awesome. 

We ended the day with an activity just for the kids. A giant indoor playground. 

My favorite part of the day was eating dinner and watching Coda do magic tricks for the little kids. Kyle loves him so much. 

We head home tomorrow. This trip has been unbelievable. We’ve done so many fun things, but spending time with my family has been incredible. We miss them so much.
