So long summer

I have finally come to the realization that summer is over. This was the best summer I've had in a REALLY long time thanks to all my great family and friends. Here is a re-cap of how it went...

My brother Scott got married on May 8, 2010 to Tamara in the Mesa, AZ temple

The girls Amy, Me, Mandi

My niece loves to dance! So who better to dance with that her?

On our way back to Boise, we stopped in St. George and went to Zion's national park.

Brad and I were surprised to see how huge the canyon was!

On May 12th (only 4 days after Scott's wedding) we dropped Brad off at the MTC. He's currently serving in Fresno, California and loving it! But I do miss him!

Sister Love! :D

Of course got the wake boarding in and can now catch some air while holding onto the rope! That's a good accomplishment!

Floating the Boise River...

My Best friends wedding... Mallory got married in the Boise Temple on July 31st. It was a great day and we had lots of fun planning everything.

Camping with the siblings at Pine View Lake

This is Aislyn's cheese face when we take pictures of her. Its priceless!

Me, Brian, Cade, and Kim went to Jump Creek a couple times to go cliff jumping. First time for everything and it was definitely the scariest thing I've ever done! So fun tho and can't wait to go again!!

Love these boys!

White Water Rafting with the whole family plus Brian on the upper part of Payette (stair case)!

We had 10 people so we had to split up into two rafts.

One of the things we had talked about doing all summer long was going to a rodeo. This was the Caldwell Night Rodeo, and of course we had to dress up!

Kim and I voted we were best dressed!!!

It's so good to have the boys coming home from their missions! It's been a long 2 years and we are all excited to see them and can't wait for the rest to come home!

One day my mom and I took my niece to monkey buizness to play!

And to end the summer.....Brian and I went to the Western Idaho Fair! It was a great ending to a great summer! Brian and I had never had an ice cream potato before, and it was delicious. And we couldn't help to get some new shades!!  We also got a potato on a stick that we didn't get a picture of. We were representin' the state of Idaho! haha

Labor Day

For Labor Day My parents and I really wanted to go four wheeling since we hadn't taken our four wheelers out yet this year. So we loaded them up and headed out to the dessert near Reynolds Creek. My friend Josh came with us and we had a fun day riding and rock climbing!

I got to wear the gehtto helmet cause my head was the only that fit in it.

This is before he fell about 15 feet. Scary! But a way cool picture!

Later that evening was the BSU vs. Virginia Tech game but I am sad to say I did not get any pictures of us in our BSU gear, but Josh sported the BSU shirt all day!

So here I am

After reading many blogs from friends and family members, and getting addicted to reading them, I decided to join the blogging world. I can't guarantee that I will be anywhere near as funny ,clever, or creative as others but I hope someone finds me interesting?! 
A few weeks ago I was with a group of friends and my friend Kim told me she was glad I always had my camera with me. Which is true, I always have one in my purse and bring it everywhere I go. So thinking about that while tossing the idea of a blog around, I've decided to blog through pictures and I'm really excited about it! Hope you enjoy!
