Our Summer Fun

As it was kindly pointed out to me today from a friend, I have not updated my blog in a really long time. It was the incentive I needed. I have lots to catch up on so I'll condense most of it to one (long) post.

The 24th of July Weekend:
We started off our weekend by going to the Spanish Fork Fiesta Days Rodeo. It's one of my favorite events during Fiesta Days. We were so excited to take Kaylee and I really think she loved it. She loves horses but the thing that caught her eye the most were the cows. They were right underneath us under the bleachers so she kept peaking down there.

Grandpa bought her a cowgirl hat at the Rodeo. So cute.

Over the rest of the weekend we went to the carnival, we went to a concert in the Park, and we had a BBQ with Jake's family. We had so much fun over that holiday weekend spending time with both of our families.

July 28th:
One night when Jake got off work, we went shooting guns. I'm not the best aim but I did hit a couple of cans. It was still fun though.




August 2nd-3rd:
My mom, Kaylee and I drove to Idaho to visit my Grandpa Stoddard. I wish we could have stayed longer because it was so good to see my Grandpa. It was really weird being up at his house because I hadn't been there since my Grandma passed away and it was different without her there. But I loved seeing my Grandpa and I loved having Kaylee be able to spend time with him as well. We picked TONS of raspberries and made so much raspberry jam. While my mom and I picked raspberries, Kaylee followed Grandpa around. She went for a ride with him on the tractor and she loved it. She loved hanging out with Grandpa Stoddard and so did I. It was a really good couple of days.



August 4th:
Kaylee and I went to visit Grandpa Vane and the horses. My dad hooked a horse halter on the walker and we put Kaylee in it so she could go for a ride. I used to love this when I was little. Kaylee didn't like it so much. Maybe when she gets a little older....?



August 14-19:
We went on a cruise!!! I will be dedicating a whole post to this as soon as I get pictures so stay tuned.

August 30th:
This is what it looks like outside of our apartment. (I know, it's awesome.) You can almost, not quite, drown out all the junk with the weeds. Jake decided to mow them down and Kaylee LOVES the 4-wheeler so she helped.



September 2nd-5th:
We went to the cabin for Labor Day. Kelly and Jen and some of Jen's family came up as well. We had a blast. Lots of 4-wheeler rides, lots of good food (as usual) and so much fun. We are so blessed to be able to have this cabin and enjoy the beautiful scenery up there. It's gorgeous and we always have the greatest time.

Kaylee loved picking flowers

Kaylee kept falling asleep on the rides we went on.
She would get so excited to go and then miss the whole thing.

During this time we were also dog-sitting for Zac. We had little Zoey with us for a week. Kaylee and Zoey loved playing with each other. Kage and Zoey, not so much. We had fun watching Zoey. She is sooo cute!

Zoey!

It's sad to say goodbye to the summer. I always have a hard time with it because we have a short fall and then winter hits. But we had an awesome summer.
