Summer

Its finally the summer break for Nathan and we are sure enjoying having him home. Scarsly a day goes buy without some sort of exciting adventure. In the last week we have gone Frisbee golfing and swimming and hiking and driving all around, what fun. Over this summer so far we have gotten to see much of my family. My mom came out in June for my Aunts wedding and than stayed with us for another week. We were able to take her to Yellowstone and some of these pictures are from that trip. than my dad came out to pick up my sister Allison from school and we went to Yellowstone again and that is some of the Yellowstone pictures also. We have really enjoyed having them come out and visit although my dads visit was sort of bittersweet because he took Allison home and she doesn't know if she will be coming back.

On another note Nathan is done with his summer semester like I said before and we are really having fun during the six week break and although I wish that it would never end because I know that when school starts up again Nathan will be gone from 9:30am to about 9 pm, I also wish that it would start so that we could get done. Nathan has two semesters left, can you believe it!! We will be graduating in April of next year, I am kinda scared but also really excited.

Zoie and Isaac are getting really big, Isaac is turning two in about three weeks and Zoie is three and a half, she is already planning her birthday list and here is what is on it

Zoies list

I-pod touch-purple,
a bed as big as mom and dads,
a car (she will drive and buckle me into the back she said)

these are the things I can remember now but wow, she is setting her sites high, we will have to see what she actually gets, hopefully she is not too disappointed. I asked her what we should get for Isaac and she said "some toy cars" she is a funny girl. Isaac will be starting toddler lab in about a month and I think that will be really fun for him.

As for me I have been working on the farmers market and my Etsy shop and spending lots of time with Zoie and Isaac at the park and on walks and have been having fun doing it. It has been a great learning experience and it has been so fun to spend time with friends and family.

This is from our first Yellowstone trip this summer

Isaac treed a squirl
This was when my dad came out with my brother Scott. and down below is the fire day. I have seen big fires from a distance but this one was close, it was started at the INL and the winds were so strong that it blew the smoke all the way to rexburg. It turned the sky dark and orange it was really cool to see. Luckily it mostly only burned desert.
