catching up on vacation. . .

So tommy and sid at murray park on pioneer day, cranking icecream at the wilson's, grandma pulling the kids in a floaty at starvation, and all the kids climbing in the apple tree after pictures for more pictures.

These are a few from our summer adventures with the wilson's

Just in case you were wondering. . .

Just in case you might be wondering what happens when a child runs into the path of another child swinging a real golf club. . . It lands you in the emergency room getting two layers of stitches in the kids head on a Sunday afternoon. Two underneath and six on top. And I don't know who cried louder H (the victim) or E (the attacker). H was crying in pain, E crying because his little bro was bleeding from the head and it was his fault. Hey at least he cares. . .???

Recovering?

So I have been avoiding the computer since I have been home, mostly because I have been really motivated to get my house in order. Thus I haven't blogged for ever. I will eventually get to it, but today will be spent preparing my RS lesson.
I have found if I avoid the computer then more around the house gets done. Go figure!

Packing up and heading home

I can't believe it has been a month since we left home, but alas the fun is ending. we have successfully worn out our welcome, haha. We are leaving first thing in the morning and attempting to drive the entire 14-15 hours. . . wish us luck. Our dvd player broke on the way up so a new one has been purchased. It is a pretty rough ride with out the movies. . . what did they do before they had them . . lucky us I guess.
I am not super excited to go home, but thrilled to sleep in my own bed. It has definately been an adventure and posssibly the kids best summer break EVER. I will have more details when we get home and settled in.

Cousin's

This is our first week in Idaho with some of the cousins riding the carousel. Squid and kayzer on the carousel together, and then cousins in front front of the carousel. And then the last picture is of the some of the kids at the park in St. Anthony across the street from Kassie and Shad's house.

Hometown 4th of July

So we spent our 4th in Rexburg, it was awesome of course! Living in the city doesn't hold a candle to a celebration in a small town. Matt I know you think I am crazy, but because of growing up in a small town, that is my interpretation of the 4th of July. I don't remember the last time we were in Rexburg for the summer because all of our vacation was used for weddings.

Congrats to Taela Laufiso!!

We came to Utah to see our niece Taela get baptized. She sang a duet with a friend "I stand all amazed". It was awesome, she has a serious voice for an eight year old. Most of the fam was there, and then we had lunch at the Laufiso's after.

We were happy to be able to be in Utah while that was happening. We miss alot of stuff because we live so far away.
So the funny part happened when we got back to wilson's where we were staying and matt and all of his brothers were running through the sprinkler with the kids. . . kiddie pool and all. I have lots of pictures to share eventually. . . although the boys might not appreciate them as much as us, hehehe.

We are at the Wilson's until tuesday, matt flies home to go to work and we will head back to Idaho for my sister Kassie's baby shower on saturday. This is her first and it is a boy. There are alot of new babies and pregnant women in the Benson Fam. I am glad to currently not be one of them, haha.
