Life Latey, According to My Phone

We've been doing lots of little things that don't really justify a post on their own. Here's a lot of the little things we've been doing.

After hiking in Provo, we found some horses.

Mercedes came over and made her own little bed to watch Cinderella.

We've been having a lot of summer storms and I just love it when the clouds cover the top of the mountains.

 UVU apparently has a cage for raptors! I just hope they build better fences. 

Whenever we wander around BYU, we find animals around! They have a lot ducks...

and even the occasional deer!

We got rid of our California plates, but we'll always keep a piece of California with us thanks to In-N-Out!

Other than this, life has been nice and busy. Jonathan's almost finished with his summer classes and then a new semester will be starting up all over again!

Jackson Hole

Jonathan came back up to Idaho to bring me back home to real life. I wasn't too excited about that, but it was going to happen sooner or later!

I did miss him terribly while he was gone!

Before we went back to real life, though we went to visit Jackson, Wy. I drove through the city 6 years ago, so this was my first real time there. On the drive there, we pasted a tractor and saw a crazy deer cross the road in front of us. Oh, and lots and lots of green fields!

We ate lunch at the Wart Hotel. It's supposably haunted, but I didn't see any ghouls or hear any rattling chains while we were there.

Jonathan found a real Stetson that fits his huge head and Clara found an adorable pink cowgirl hat that she needed. Thank goodness Grandma was there!

We found an amazing chocolate store with beautiful creations.

We wandered around the city for just a little bit. It was getting close to Clara's naptime.

The rest of the day, I was in denial that we were really leaving. Though Idaho gave us another beautiful sunset as our final farewell.

Annie and Chris worked so hard to make our week so wonderful. Annie was saying that Seth and Clara ask when their cousins will be coming over again just about every day. I absolutely love our big family trips in Idaho. I already can't wait until next year!

Idaho Fun!

After our crazy fun filled days, we all slowed down. On Sunday, we all walked to church.

After church, we picked strawberries and said goodbye to Jonathan. He had classes to get to while I stayed in Idaho for the rest of the week.

Monday morning, we had a doughnut run along with a trip to the smelly dump. The little girls had pink sprinkle doughnuts while Ty had a churro.

On Tuesday, Andy's family (except for Ryan) packed up and left for California. Before they could leave, the boys had to do summersaults and everyone needed to pick more strawberries.

After they left, we played in the backyard for awhile and even had a picnic lunch.

While the kids were in and out of the house playing, my mom and I ended up staying outside for about 7 hours just talking. It's been a very long since we've talked that much since I'm terrible about talking on the phone.

The next day, Annie took the kids to the park while my parents, Chris, and I did a session at the Idaho Falls temple. The kids had a great time and so did we!

The Idaho Falls temple is a very special temple for my family. My grandpa helped with construction of it after he came home from his mission and before he moved to California. My mom said that they were hauling 50 lb sacks of concrete up to the temple and my grandpa, being the ox of a man he was, would carry two sacks at a time. It was such a wonderful experience to be inside of temple that he helped build.

That same evening, I went to Rexburg to visit one of my good friends. It's been over a year since the last time I saw her. It was so much fun to catch up with her and see her preparations for her little girl that's coming next month!

Here's a picture from her maternity shoot. Gorgeous!

After our visit, I took pictures of the Rexburg temple for over an hour.

Even though our days were slower and we had to say goodbye to some of the group, we had a wonderful time.

Idaho Temples

While we were in Idaho, I had to go and visit a couple of temples! The first one I took pictures of was the Rexburg temple.

No crops were damaged in the shooting of this picture.

As a family, we walked around the Idaho Falls temple. My mom shared some stories about her dad helping with building it.

I love how different these two temples are on the outside. They are both beautiful, but very distinct in the architectures style.

Price Family Farm

One of our family's favorite parts about visiting Idaho is visiting the farm. This year's visit did not disappoint! 

Within just a few minutes, Tyler caught the first fish.

Not long after, Andy caught his fish.

We had a hayride.

After the hayride took off, Kyle's fishing pole went crazy. Luckily, Jonathan was there to grab it.

Kyle's fish got stuck in the weeds, so farmer Wayne and Jonathan got into the boat to rescue it.

By the time the hayride was over, the fish was freed from the weeds and Kyle was able to reel it in.

Kyle was so proud of his fish.

Lyla loved exploring the farm and she even found an egg in the chicken coup. Right after this picture, she dropped it.

After lunch and lots of exploring, we pulled out some guns while the little ones played inside the house.

After we finished up with the clay pigeons, we pulled out the .22 for Ryan and Tyler to take a turn.

This was Tyler's first time shooting and he did a great job as a lefty.

Ryan got to help clean up the shooting range.

It was a great day, the only thing missing was the Wadman's.

Farm days are always great days!
