A day at Bear Lake!

I know! I know! I'm blogging all at once.....take it or leave it! It's a good thing I have my good friend Melanie to bug me about updating my blog or I would probably do it all at once at the end of the year!! I am really good at cramming all at once! Anyway! We spent one day this week up at Bear Lake. The kids and I met my good friend, Lori Busche, and her children up there. They go camping up there several times during the summer and have the whole routine down. They don't have a boat but she has a really nice jet ski that can pull a tube and also a knee board. We had a lot of fun! The kids had so much fun playing on the beach. We finished the day up eating burgers and Bear Lake Raspberry shakes! YUM!

4th of July!

Here are some more pictures from the 4th. Like I said, we had a great time in Oakley and the weather was awesome! The kids loved it! The other girls in the pictures are my sisters youngest 2 girls, Jamie and Emma. The picture on the bottom left is a good picture of the Kamas Valley in the background. Contrary to what some of you may have heard....I am coming home at some point! Johnny is flying back out to drive us home Aug. 1st. I am starting to miss home (and my friends!) but you can't beat this awesome weather in Utah. It's much more favorable than Houston weather! Sorry, but I will NEVER get used to or like the Houston summers!

Izzy meets Lucy!

For the 4th of July we went to my sisters house in Oakely, UT. They live on 5 acres up there in the Kamas Valley. It is so beautiful. Oakley has a great 4th of July parade each year and also a Rodeo. We got to go to both and had so much fun! After the parade we went to my sister and brother-in-law's house to hang out for the day....that is where Izzy met Lucy! Lucy is a 5-6 year old New Finland. She is HUGE! She is probably the size of a large bear cub. She loves kids and is really pretty gentle unless you start to run....then she thinks your playing and she will mow you down! Anyway, we put Izzy in the grass to play and Lucy slowly crawled up to her. She sat down next to Izzy and started licking her toes....then her leg, then her arm until she slowly moved up to her face! She gave Izzy a great BIG LICK! It was so funny and Izzy just sat there pulling her fur and hanging out. She never cried. SO CUTE!
