Silly Summer Memories

I have so many silly pictures from the summer that I need to blog about. Drum roll please...

I left the table for a minute, came back and Avri had helped herself to some salt, and tried to stab the cheese!

Brynli and Avri playing. They were laughing soooo hard!

Sawyer is an awesome big bro, letting Avri cover him with stickers!

I love the look on her face as she is jumping!

One evening Avri insisted on sitting on the curb. Hmmm, I don't know why.

Way too silly!!

Check out those ropes and tackle!

Yummy watermelon.

Isn't she beautiful!

I love this boy!

They love Cheeto!

Slip 'n Slide. . . . in Cheeto's food!

I love my kids. They are what is truly important in my life. I am so thankful that I get the opportunity to raise them, teach them, and be with them every single day. I love watching all the silly and fun things they do! They are wonderful and loving kids. Thank you Heavenly Father for blessing me with Brynli, Sawyer, and Avri.

Horseback Riding

Brynli was in Girls Scouts this year. They used the money from selling cookies to go Horseback Riding. The last weekend of June our whole family went and we camped at the ranch. We also had my awesome niece, Jamie, come with us because she LOVES horses and we really needed her help. So, we went up into the Boise National Forest and got to go on a 2 hour long ride. The ranch had about 30 horses there. Boy were the kids EXCITED to see so many horses! And boy was Sawyer THRILLED to ride a horse (we all know of his fascination with horses). Because the ride was two hours long, we felt Avri was too little to go. And we felt Sawyer and Brynli needed to be on a horse with someone older and more experienced (hence, why Jamie came). So, Sawyer rode with Stephen, and Brynli rode with Jamie. (I stayed behind with Avri, she was MAD!)

Later that night, Jamie and I got to go on another ride, with just teenagers and adults, no little kids. We each rode our own horses (Baby and Stitch). AWESOME!! We had so much fun! I loved it (and was totally freaked out) when the horses started loping! YeeHaw!!

This was that BEST vacation ever!!! I hope the pictures below show how awesome it was! We really want to go again next year!

Brushing the horses.

Jamie and Brynli rode Baby.

Avri loved petting the horses.

Yay! They are in the saddle!

From the moment Sawyer got on the horse he had the BIGGEST GRIN EVER! Perma-Grin!

Heading out!

While they were riding, Avri and I played in the camper.
