I stole this picture like a thief in the night from my friend Katy's blog. I ran a 5k with my sister in law Niki (not pictured) and forgot to bring my camera so this is the only picture I have so far. Niki was in the car keeping warm at this time and I was trying to warm up my body which was IMPOSSIBLE to do that morning. It was freezing!
At the parade with Chase. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I dislike this picture of myself but I'm putting vanity aside and posting it anyway because I love Chase's sweet smile in it!
Landon looking very serious with that lollipop. Probably a warning look to anyone who thinks about taking it from his sticky fist of death!
Aunt Karissa in the parade! She was with her ballroom dance group and she hooked us up with lots of sugar!
Cutie fellow spectator Whitney Woo! Look at that sweet smile!
Chase, daddy, Payton and Chris in the background
Crazy boys!
Sweet brown eyes
Chase and Uncle Cam giving each other some noggin' DUDE!
We've had a lot going on lately and I'm WAY behind on posting all of it but I will start with the latest and greatest, our trip to Idaho!!! We had a blast and we were so sad that the time flew by all too fast. Before we knew it we were gassing up the Hyundai for our long sweaty drive home. Our trip was filled with family and fun fun fun. We went canoeing, four wheeling, swimming, parading, and let's not forget the eating. Oh the eating is so good at the White house (and I'm not talking about the one in D.C.) Chase is dying to go back and frolic with his cousins and his bffs Aunt Karissa and Uncle Cameron. He's been singing songs about Grandma and wondering when he'll get to relive it all again! I'll be perfectly honest though when I say there have been some tears (mine mostly) when he starts to really get sad and downright blue about not being able to visit his beloved family whenever he wants to. It's times like that, when your kids are feeling it, that we wish we lived just a little closer to family. We seriously love Arizona, the heat and all, we just wish we could transplant some of our family down here. My mom might be the only one that we could possibly talk into moving here, but not anytime soon. Maybe someday??? Right mom?? HINT H.I.N.T!
Anyways, we had a great time in Idaho. Here are some pictures to recap our adventures!
