New School year and Visit with Grandmas

Rick and I decided to go see our grandma's in Idaho

Mine in Rexburg and his in Pocatello. It was a very long 18 hour

drive we made in 2 days but worth it!! 

 First stop was Rick's grandma who is in her 90s and hilarious.

She talks about how she doesn't need men in her life and she doesn't need

 to take care of any man. She's so cute and funny and definitely a spitfire!

We took her to Red Lobster and got a tour of her assisted

living home. 

 I took Rick out to see my first house growing up and the

one after that. It's so breathtakingly beautiful in St. Anthony.

Summers are heaven on earth there.. 

second house

 We went to my grandma Lil's assisted living home

She is suffering dementia and it was beyond sad to watch

how emotional she is. She cried most of the time but let me 

hold her sweet hand and cuddle with her.

We took her down to eat dinner. The place she

is at is beautiful. 

I love her so much! She wants to go home to my grandpa and 

I wish with all my heart she could make that decision. 

I am so glad I got to hold her , love on her, and be with her.

kids were happy at home with Grandma and Grandpa B making breakfast

 my mom and I made Jam, this is Kellan's way of helping ...

hard work paid off!!

 our tradition

 It's still 110 degrees so we are at the pool constantly

 at the lake - Kellan even tried his wake board...

 Mia did so awesome!

 WE love the lake!!! Mia also wake boarded too on top of skiing 

Kellan and dad at an Aviators game!! 

 Kellan trying to decide if the pool is a good 

temperature haha

my cutie on the way to the movies 

Kellan was so cute the other day, he said he wanted to 

practice being a good husband and could I help him

make breakfast in bed for her.. omg he is so cute!  and so romantic 

First Day of School 6th and 1st 

It's so weird to only have one kid again 

at my school, I'm sad Mia is not with me and 

I don't get to see her all day every day

but she is loving middle school and she is becoming

such a wonderful young lady... So impressed with her!!

 Mia and her BFF Kira :) Leavitt Middle school 

Unfortunately parents sent kids to school the first few days sick

so this was Kellan mid week on the first week, poor little guy 

then Mia was to follow on the weekend fever and all 

ugh I already miss the summer and being away from all the germs!!
