The weather here in Rexburg has FINALLY heated up and we are loving it. I'm not sure if we have hit 90 yet but the 80's have been great. Carter loves to play outside so I figured it was the perfect time to get him a kiddie pool. I hit the jackpot with this one, he LOVES it and I love lounging outside working on my tan as he plays in it for hours straight!
I have been back blogging like crazy so scroll down for a few more new posts!
I love the 4th of July. I love all the red, white, and blue. I love how communities come together. I love our country. This year for the 4th we went down town and watched the annual parade. I always love Rexburg parades, they have the small town feel, everybody has a float from the local grocery store to the nursing home. 
After the parade we came home so Carter could take a nap and anxiously waited my families arrival for a short visit to Rexburg. 
Once they arrived we relaxed for a minute then headed to Idaho falls for some dinner and fireworks. 
Carter wasn't as excited about the fireworks as I thought he would be but I think that's because it was past his bed time by the time they finally started! Maybe next year...
Skyler's uncle Coby got married a few weeks ago and it was the perfect excuse to head to Texas for a break from Idaho. The weather was HOT HOT HOT and I loved it. 
The cutest little groomsmen.

Carter and his second? cousin Zebb. They are exactly a year apart and both have the cutest red hair! 
We spent a ton of time in the pool and driving Carter around the property on the golf cart. We had a ton of fun and can't wait to go back to Nana and Poopaw's for another visit!
Skyler has been wanting to go camping as a family FOREVER and we have been waiting on the weather to warm up. I got him a bunch of camping gear for father's day and it sent him over the edge with excitement for a family camping trip but the weather was still too cold at night to take Carter camping. Finally JULY came and the weather heated up. My best friend Jennie called and suggested planning a camping trip, I was all over the idea and knew Skyler would love me forever when I gave him the news. So we planned and that weekend us, the Packards, and Moss' all went camping in Island Park.
Setting up camp
Carter and Skyler shared a sleeping bag and kept each other warm in the 30 degree weather we had that night. I had baby girl to keep me warm and uncomfortable all night while sleeping on the hard ground.

The next day we headed to yellowstone to enjoy all the sites before we leave Idaho forever!
and the only family picture from the whole trip.....
next time I will check for overall family attractiveness.
