Thank-you for your service!

This is my 100% AWESOME brother and my sweet little neice. This picture brings me to tears everytime I see it. Thank-you Kevin, Melissa (sister), and Amy (sister-in-law) for sharing your life with the military in order to serve me, my family and children, and our country. It is no small sacrifice and should not go unnoticed. Thank-you and I love you!

We LOVE Summer and Flip Flop Season!!!

Elk River Falls

This weekend we went on a much needed family get-away! Jesse surprised us all by planning an afternoon excursion to Elk River Falls in Elk River, Idaho. We had a picnic, a water-gun fight (well, Jesse and Andrew had water guns and ganged up on me), and then we hiked a couple miles and saw the beautiful Elk River Falls. We had a ton of fun! We all love being outside and it's so much fun to watch the boys run and explore. The only bad part of the day: Jesse ended up with mosquito bites larger than quarters (despite all the insect repellant he used). I sure wish he wasn't allergic to those stinkin' things!
