A Use For My Shadow Boxes

In Love With This

If we ever have a girl....

Ross Park

Last Saturday we went to Ross Park with our friends Josh and Kristin. It was Joshua's first time swimming. He loved it, mostly because he LOVES to be outside and because his swim trunks had strings in them. If he has strings to play with, he's a happy kid. He really liked playing in the water and especially enjoyed watching all the other little kiddos. He's such a people person! Beau and I had a lot of fun and can't wait to go back.

*He's a walking fool!
*Hang'n in the lazy river

*Nice tan lines boys

*Getting tickled

4th of July Weekend

The 4th of July weekend was such a fun one for us this year. We woke up early on Saturday and went to the parade and then to a bbq at Kristin's parents house. After the bbq my parents got in to town, and Ricky and Stacia happened to be in town as well, so we all had dinner at our house and then went down to the river to watch the fireworks together. It was a blast, and a fun surprise to have Ricky and Stacia show up! Joshua LOVED the fireworks! I was worried it was going to be a disaster because they didn't start until 10 pm so he'd be so tired before they even started and I figured the noise would freak him out. But he was wide awake and loving every second. However, as soon as they were over he crashed hard. I didn't take very many pictures; I'm not sure why, but here are a few.

*Waiting for the show to start! Dad looking happy to be there :/

*Joshua LOVES Paige!
Also that weekend we took a little drive up to the lake to show my parents. The Palisades lake is probably one of my favorite places we've been here in Idaho. It's SO pretty! We also drove up the canyon (not sure what the name is, but it's between the lake and Jackson) and found an awesome little look out over the Snake and watched some white water rafters. Now my parents and Beau think we need to have a family reunion up here and all go rafting down the Snake. It might take me a little while to warm up to that idea! I think I'd rather watch.




*And of course we had to go to Reed's for some ice cream to finish off an awesome day in the sun!

Handy Man

Can I just say again that I LOVE my handy husband! I showed him this picture the other day because I really liked that shelf so I asked him if he could build it for me....

And here we have it! He's pretty much amazing. You can't see the detail in the picture, but he did a really good job and I love it....Now I have to decorate it. I have some bookends drying in the garage right now. I had to make them because I couldn't find what I wanted anywhere. Next I'm going to find some hat boxes and modge podge them to match. I'll post the finished product.


This is a picture of the picture on the right side of the shelf. Beau's mom made it for him when he was a kid. I think it's so darn cute and I love that the little boy has fuzzy red hair! I'm so excited we have it to pass down.

Beau's New Toy

Yup. We start em early in this family, because according to Beau, his boys don't have a choice but to be riders.
