Summer 2013

We have had a fun, busy summer! (Maybe that is why the blog posts have been non existent! ) The older two go back to school in four days so we are trying to finish up our summer bucket list. One thing left on the list was a shaving cream fight. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

 
 

Chloe turned three!

She was so excited all day long. We went around the river, played at the park and had lunch at Mickey Donalds.

We had the Thornton Family reunion. We just stayed in Idaho Falls this summer. We had fun boating-  well until we broke the window on the boat. The reunion was filled with sleepovers, good food and conversation, ijump, night games, smores, and a trip to Ribgy lake. 



We were able to spend a week in Boise for Heath's work. We went to a water park, walks down the river, swam a lot at the pool, tour of the Capital, and to Heath's award luncheon. It was great to see him receive the award for the State of Idaho Assistant Principal of the Year.

We accomplished lots of things on our summer bucket list. Number one on the list was for Hayden and I to hike table rock. We did it and had a great time. We came home tired, scratched up and sunburnt but would do it again in a second. It was a great day.

Laramie got married! We were so excited to participate in all of these festivities. The girls looked beautiful in their dresses - especially Laramie. It was great to catch up with family too. We were excited to welcome Melvin and Isaiah to the family.

We have had many trips rafting down the river. Hayden has become a pro at doing it. Chloe and Hannah made it down half way. Still too cold of water for this old mom.

We had a fun day trip to Jackson. We did a bungee tramp, saw the tetons, rock climbed, and a rode a tram to the top of the mountain. It was an awesome day.

We had fun celebrating the fourth of July with the normal traditions of the parade, water party at Grandpa Jackson's and the fireworks that night.

Chloe got her tonsils out. She was a trooper and actually healed pretty quickly.

We love summer but are also excited for school to start.
