Idaho

 Forgot a few: the very last night, Rick and Mia caught
a really big bass right behind the house!
 Oh and everyone knows Mia's fear of everything loud
so we put these headphone on before fireworks and...
She decided that wasn't good enough so she ran and got my
neck pillow from the car. I had to take a picture. haha :)

Trip to Idaho

 We got to go to Buhl, Idaho at my parents' house
for the 4th of July week/weekend. First stop- canoeing
on the pond
 Mia is REALLY into fishing, in fact she told me that I need to
relax and that fishing takes patience ( yes I am a little impatient)
 We ended up searching for frogs for hours. They are everywhere
up there! We found this guy who was huge and so chill..
 He let us pick him up on our paddle but we were afraid that he was
going to jump into our canoe!
 Fishing on the pond behind my parents' house


 We caught a bunch of little guys

 4th of July parade in Buhl Idaho
 Of course we have to get homemade icecream
 Sassy one
 They even had llamas!
 Mia loved this van because it looked like Filmore on Cars
 And of course the screaming started when she saw
Mater from Disney Cars. So cool!
 Mia with Mater
 Off to the park afterward for some fun and a cute
little train ride
 Then we went to the Snake river and fished some more
 caught some Utah Chubs
 Mia had to hold each one before throwing them back home
 Off to Shoshone falls in Twin


 Dierkes Lake - Mia loved digging in the sand and dipping in the cold water

 Mia and dad



We had a great time in Idaho. We brought Bentley and he
loved being up there. Mia was cracking us up the whole time.
She even told Rick ya ya dad you just keep telling us about when you were
a kid. Too funny! All the cousins will be at Grandma B's when we get home,
so off to the next adventure :)

Coldplay Concert/Dallas, Texas

Rick surprised me by taking me to Coldplay in Dallas, Texas.
It was an amazing concert. This band is beyond talented. I've been
wanting to see them for a very long time!!
 In Dallas, we went to the Dallas Stadium. 3 million square feet.
 We took a tour of it.

 Dallas Cowgirls dressing room

 Downtown Dallas, people here are VERY nice..
 JFK building where he was shot. We went to the museum
and it was really interesting.


 6th floor where he got JFK was shot. Crazy!
 In front of the building

 The reason we came to Dallas, Coldplay concert. It was 
amazing. I've been wanting to see them for a long time. 
They gave us bracelets that lit up which was really cool.
It was a great trip!



 Random pics: Mia's last day of preschool : Hawaiian Day
I had a great class this year minus one that got expelled
for hitting me with a dictionary (long story) anyway, the boys would all
wear different eyeball shirts on the same day throughout the year to mess
with me. So the last day of school, I got my own eyeball shirt and wore it.
They loved it of course. I also just got our state test scores and they did AMAZING! 
I feel like a proud mom!
