Recent happenings. :)

Summertime is here and that means a few things. 1. Trips & 2. Madi gets to spend time at gram and pappy's house. When I was in school madi would go to their house when I would go to Farmington for labs. So Madison is always asking when springtime comes around when she gets to go. So Brian and I were planning a trip to go see our newest nephew, and my dad was making a trip through so we were able to meet up and make the hand off. :) she was so excited to go and to just have time with pappy. This was her face when I asked her if she was up for making the trip with just her and pappy. 

I was a little nervous but the trip went great. Pappy said she did awesome. So proud of that little girl. 

She's so fun!

We went to the Hardin day festivities and enjoyed an elephant ear and Indian taco. :) 

On our trip to Utah we made a pit stop to stretch our legs and throw some rocks in the river. Everyone loves throwing rocks. Madi has some awesome form and mason was getting help from dad but was laughing so hard every time a rock flew. We were all laughing so hard because mason was laughing so hard. 

Look at that form. 

When she's at Grammies house she goes to the library activities. So she got her very own library card, she was pretty pumped about it. 

The new books for the week.

Studious little girl. Working on her work sheets. 

Heading out with new shoes!! Love being spoiled by grammie.

Meanwhile in Utah Brian, mason and I were visiting Brian's sister's family. She just had a baby and we got in some great little baby snuggles!! It's so much fun holding tiny babies.... And I'm realizing how great it is to have little nephews and nieces! Because they have moms and dads who take over when they are crying. :) so much less stress. Lol :)

I'm so sad, I don't have any pictures with my nephew! I didn't capture any moments of my baby snuggles, and it makes me really sad. But it was pretty fun to snuggle him and meet him. 

Another great thing about going to Utah was......... The Cheesecake Factory!!!

We love that place. Everything about it. The dinner, the desserts, the drinks..... Love it. :)

So we went and enjoyed some yummy food we have longed for at least a year. Brian had the chicken costeletta and I had the chicken tacos. It was so delicious. Oh and I had a raspberry lemonade and Brian had a peach raspberry smoothie. Then the cheesecake was amazing!! Brian had the red velvet, and I had lemon raspberry. I see now a trend in my decisions. Lots of lemon and raspberry. It was so so delicious. 

Love this face. 

Happiness

So yummy.... I believe billings should get one soon. 

I have included some updated pics of my flowers.  I wish I was a better gardner. But as a beginner I'm pretty happy with what I've gotten to grow. But hopefully I can get better.

I love these lillies that the previous owners planted. 

This was my pot that struggled for a long time, but has pleasantly surprised me. I'm pretty happy with how it has turned out. 

My pallet project. :) it makes me happy. The July heat is testing its ability to live and mine to water it but seems like it is doing ok.

One weekend we got to babysit my in-laws dogs and they played all day outside in the warm weather which made for some very sleepy puppies in the evening. :) they much like children are so sweet when they are sleeping. :)

Madi will be coming back home soon, and mason is enjoying his 1:1 time with us and it has been fun, but we are excited to have madi back!
