When I started this blog I warned ya'll that I am no good at this and I realize it has been months since I updated. So - now that we're all back in school and Fall (meaning snow in Idaho) is right around the corner - I better post a recap of our summer. Here are a few highlights.......
mikael and dylan on a bike ride
old faithful with my sisters
cousins
little monkey
Labor Day with Messingers - we spent Labor Day weekend in Island Park with my family. It was so much fun to see my siblings that I NEVER see and the kids had so much fun playing with and getting to know their other cousins!
Bike trip over Bear tooth Pass... We went on a bike trip to Red Lodge, MT with our sister in law Lindsay and her husband Landon. It was a blast! Red Lodge was such a fun little town. While we were there we hit this totally ghetto saloon for a fun filled night of PIG RACING!(see video) yeah, i didn't know there was such a thing! from the outside this place looked pretty questionable but when you walked through the bar to the "race track" there were families everywhere. It turns out that the saloon donates all the pig racing money to scholarships for the high school kids.....who knew!....only in Montana!!!
Soccer games...Sicily played (aka ran around holding her coaches hand) this year and although she (we) made it through...I don't think it was exactly her thing! She just started dance and seems to be loving it! As I'm writing this I realized that I took video of Dylan playing baseball - but no pictures!
Dylan putting a fish hook completely through his hand! - OUCH
I think this one pretty much explains itself.
camping with the Miller's - we weren't able to go camping as much as we would have liked this summer but we did get a quick trip in with our Miller friends!
"that's no etch- a- sketch, this is one doodle that can't be undid, home skillet!" Movie trivia...- Baby number 3! Actually, I thought I had food poisoning! I woke up one morning sicker than I had ever been in my life! Turns out it was a baby! Mikael just started laughing ( he had been wanting a baby for a while ). everyone is very excited! Everyday Mikael rubs my belly (which is growing by the second) and says, "how is my little boy?" Neither one of us care either way, but he says he just thinks it's a boy. We find out for sure in a couple of weeks... Oh, and today Sicily asked me if the extension cord (aka, umbilical cord) was hooked up in my belly yet? ha. ha.
Annual 24th of July redneck water party at Angell's.....always a good time! Max and Joy have a water/mud volleyball party every year and we always look forward to it. they make a giant size water slide out of what i think is a hay tarp or something....anyways, it is a blast! Last year Joy had a snow cone machine and this year she outdid herself by having a cotton candy machine going for all the kids. We love you guys and are looking forward to next year!
