The fair

So we made our trip to the fair and as always had a great time. Ella was actually big enough to go on some of the big rides. She went on one of my very favorite rides the swings. Talk about brave, I have never felt so old.















Can I just say I love this picture.
















This is one of my absolute favorite memories of the fair. So anyone who knows my Ava knows that one she is tiny, and two she is a chicken. She was to small to go on a lot of rides, but for some reason she was not too small to go onto the scary ride. After a lot of convincing she went. I don't think she opened her eyes once.















And here she is after the five second ride, It was so dang funny. Maybe one day you will thank me Ava for pushing you little out of your comfort zone, then again maybe not.

The girls



































some more rides.





























This mini horse was so adorable, she was asleep and fell in love with the kids scratching her back.

I also wanted to include a picture of my grandmas wedding, she looked just lovely, I am about four months along here with number four. It was a nice weekend to see my dad.

First day of school!

This was Ella's first bus ride to school, she was a little bit nervous but I would say a little bit more excited.




















Such a beauty, she is doing really well in school and we are so proud of her.

Ava and Harper miss their big sister, and look forward each day to her homecoming. I do have to say they are doing really well though, just the two of them playing.

The rest of Yellowstone.

My Favorite trip this summer was Yellowstone. We had such a great day.




















This is just one of the hikes that we went on that day the girls wanted to pose on a tree stump.

Ava balancing like a champ.

Harper loved the Buffalo, I forgot how huge they are. Pretty gnarly animals.

It was so gorgeous up there, I love living so close to such an amazing place. Such a great day.

Summer time, man the livins easy!

We did a lot this summer and really had a great holiday! Kade participated in a bed and breakfast race in down Rigby Main. Team KLIM won and we got a leaf blower. Its was just hilarious.

We also went on our camp out with the Kraus clan, Ella got to go on a ride with her Uncle Quinton.

Papa Kraus and Logan

Kade took Ava, she loved it she is giving us a thumbs up ready to go.

Around the camp fire, eating scones that Kimber made. YUM.

We also went to rigby lake, quite a bit this summer, it's nice cause it is only five min. from our house. Harper kept throwing sand on Ella's face.

Ava is getting more comfortable in water, she is becoming quit the little swimmer.

Pretty sure Ella has gills

Just a little bit cold?

My parents were able to come up for a visit and luckily there was an airshow going on. My Dad loves them so we all got to go. It was actually really amazing.

My mom and me.

Saying goodbye to our first home. We were so blest to have it.

We also made a trip to lava, It is so pretty up there, we really enjoyed it.

The kido's nice and pink from the hot mineral water.

The group I got to look after on her field trip. They went to the zoo, and a nursery.

More to come.....

told you I have a lot of catching up to do.

I know that it has been way to long my dear blog, what can I say, it's been a busy summer, how about I am so lazy. But now I have a whole lot of catching up to do, so hold on to your hat. Now one truth about me not blogging is that we have a new computer so I am trying to figure out all of the photo stuff, so these photo's below are not my absolute favorites, however they were already formatted correct.
So one of the many things we were able to do this summer was going to Yellowstone. This was actually my favorite thing this summer. The kids completely loved it which made it so much better for kade and I.






























Ava was such a riot, she wanted to know all about the geysers and hot lava. Then after I had told her about it she went on and on about all of it. She was such a doll and really came out of her comfort zone, maybe we have a future scientist.















They call this place the little Grand canyon, it was so gorgeous and very dizzying I might add. The canyon was really steep. It was really just a great day, we saw lots of animals which the kids were into big time. I feel so lucky to live next to such an amazing piece of earth.

My kids are growing so darn fast. Part of me excited , because they become more self reliant with each year. Another part of me completely sad and wanting them to stay just where they are. Ella is now 6 1/2 she is going to school full day and I miss her. I am so excited for her though cause I know this year she is going to grow so much. She has such a tender heart and is so compassionate toward others. Ava is completely coming into her own. She has stepped up to the plate and has become a great little helper. Ava has such a fun outlook on everything and lets me see things threw her amazing little eyes. She is just constant, I don't worry to much about my buffie. Harper is growing so quick, he is such a fun little character. He is the perfect mix of I am a boy hear me roar and I love you mom give me a hug. Lovin having a boy, it's a completely different trip with just as great of views. I am also expecting my fourth baby. We are all super excited. I am about half way there, its going quickly thank goodness. All in all we are all very good, super busy and happy. As soon as I figure out the picture thing I will be doing a lot of catch up, wish me luck.
