kick off

even though summer doesnt technically start until my birthday (june 21), i always feel like memorial day is the kick off to the summer season. for our long weekend, we headed over to southeast idaho. but not before trying out green beans for the first time!

oh and did i mention this stud passed all 4 sections of the CPA exam?

HOLLERRRRR!!!!!!!

we also had to wash our cars and mow the lawn. parker is a great helper with both of those tasks.

his favorite part was spraying the water. he kept telling me he was a fire fighter.

during these activities brooklynn did what she does best... look adorable.

after a good night sleep, we finally hit the road to enjoy our long weekend!

we stayed with jared's parents in idaho falls. parker enjoyed playing with all of his cousins toys. unfortunately, his cousins werent too excited to be sharing said toys. they played just fine if they were outside with no toys.

parker especially loved the trampoline

we also got to travel to rexburg a few times to see kyle and carissa and stacey and play with kyler. again, we had issues sharing toys, ay yi yi... but they sure had fun running around outside.

i got to go to the temple on saturday with my sisters. it was a neat experience being in the celestial room with both of them. 

and of course, we cant forget about little miss and brant man. these two are only 3 months apart and are both so stinkin chunky, its adorable! 

ah, summer.... welcome back!
