Aurora's 12th Birthday

Aurora turned 12 and she was super excited to get a phone. She is an amazing young lady and my favorite daughter. She still loves to snuggle. She is herself through and through and she doesn't care what others think. She believes everyone should just be themselves. We absolutely love her and are so grateful that we get to be her parents.

2017 Total Solar Eclipse







We skipped the first day of school and traveled to Idaho and stayed in a farmers field on the out skirts of Idaho Falls so we could experience the total solar eclipse. We left Sunday and got out of town as soon as totality was over. We were fortunate to have clear roads there and back. It was an amazing experience! Our last eclipse experience was near St. George in 2012, it was an annular eclipse. It was totally worth the high camping cost!

July Adventures

The kids swimming with their friends. We swam a lot this summer. 




We had fun at the annual Lindquist Pops concert. Brie and her family were able to join us.










We took a quick trip to Twin Falls. We were able to see the Shoshone Falls, swim, and visit an interactive toy store.
