We just got back from our Idaho trip. Mia and I flew

on Allegiant ( which now goes directly to Twin Falls :)

The way there was rough, 3 hour delay along with sitting on

the runway (the worst) but Mia was smiling like this the whole time

She absolutely loves planes so that was fun. Rick was supposed to drive up the next

day but his truck broke down and he literally coasted in at 4am. The truck was

then in the shop for 6 days!! Gotta love small towns. We had tons of fun, there's tons of pics,

and we are glad to be home too. The Blaser reunion is always a good time. We had about 50 plus

show up and there were still around 25 not there so you do the math. We have a huge family.

Three more weeks and Mia and I fly off to the Rydalch one. Crazy!

we had to walk out to the plane, Mia was waving to
Rick the whole time

This is usually completely covered with water which

is pretty cool.

Rick and Candice ready to kayak

dad and Candice- being the only girl on the river

with two guys, it was hard work. Luckily I had gloves

on but I was definitely ready to be done on the way back.

Super fun though

good stance babe

cousin Kim got paints out and this is the result.

Uncle Wally kept saying Mia has OCD because everything

has to be precise/perfect. She wouldn't use her fingers

even though they were finger paints, she found a stick instead

and placed perfectly on her paper. Notice no paint on herself, that's

not by accident either. She's just that way. She dropped a bunch

of eggs on my floor yesterday and was crying saying, "I ruined

my beautiful house mom!" I promise I don't do this to her. She even lines

up all her toys, crayons, etc but so does her cousin Scott. Too funny! Look

at Hailey in this pic. Crackup!

we are actually getting to be a big group with

Mia was very excited about seeing some

reunion in my parent's backyard playing volleyball

It gets pretty vicious with all these guys.

my grandma and grandpa - Mia saw him and said,

"MOM THERES A PIRATE!" She was so excited.

It was hilarious. He doesn't look like he's doing very well

but he is still the smartest man I know, never misses a beat,

he even told Rick a joke and Rick didn't get it til minutes later,

he is so witty.

Mia checkin out some cows. I love the smell of farms.

I know it's gross but I do, maybe cause I spent my younger

years on one. farms and potato pits, the best smells ever!

Mia found a baby bird with my dad and walked

over and just picked him up. Better yet, the bird

had his mouth open wide for food and she literally

kissed it right on the lips. We didn't even have time to

say, No Wait! She LOVES animals. I love this pic because

she is just so at peace holding this little bird.

Then she set it in this bird house to wait for his mom.

This is her friend Gunner who was
the landscaper's dog. She fell in love with him.

I didn't want Rick to see this but he did and
I'm sure you know what he said after that.

She layed on him all day

Mia loved the razor my dad had up there for the

week, she kept saying, "Go Faster"
