Summer Days.....

Wow! Is July really gone and August almost over? Time is flying by this summer. I've been a slacker on the blog posts mostly for two reasons: Lots of playing & a computer that is begging to be let go (lets see if we make it through this post!). Here are a few random photos of the last month and a half. Of course, you never get pictures of the really fun stuff because you are having too much fun, right?!
I had to take some pictures of our flower beds and garden. Dean designed our entire yard when we moved here, and it has turned out so nice! My camera really doesn't do it justice.
This is the front yard....

And part of the backyard....



One of the things we have been busy with, picking, freezing, and canning!


We've also had a few visits from long lost friends. The Greenwoods and the Gaileys. Oh how we miss them. I didn't get any pictures of the Gaileys, but here are a few from our old neighbors. Not a week goes by that we don't talk about how much we miss them...




And... my sister moved to Twin Falls! This is a picture of my nephew. He was cold, so Brylie got one of her coats for him and he was nice enough to put it on! Fun to have cousins nearby!

We took a week long vacation too! First, we were off to Lagoon for all kinds of fun. We wore out way before the kids did! Then we headed to Park City with my parents for days of swimming, school shopping, and riding more rides. Dean even got/made me do the zip line this year. I thought I was going to die!!! Then, back to Sugar City for my ten year reunion (I'll have to steal some pictures off of friends blogs for that one), and Island park for some boating and time with friends and family.






When we finally got home, we decided it was time for the kids to have a pet or three. So, off to the neighbors to pick out some bunnies. (Unfortunately, this is Kayden's second bunny in one week....) They named them Butterball, Sweet Sweet Petunia, and Licorice (the first one was Mud Bud). It was so cute watching them pick them out and decide on names for them. They love having bunnies!!! (Hopefully Licorice won't be loved too much....)

So, there is our summer so far in a nutshell with lots of other things inbetween! Hope you are all enjoying your summers as much as we are!

Cacky, your yard is gorgeous!!! Nice work! Also, I know you didn't go into detail about what happened to Kayden's bunny. I can only imagine what being too loved can do to a pet. Sad. I also have to say that picture of Carter is HILARIOUS! Glad you all are having a fun summer!

I forgot about the pink coat picture! Haha, that was so funny. I wasn't aware Kayden got another bunny, yikes.

you think the bunnies are cute now..til you are overtaken by baby bunnies..that's what happened to us. :)

I echo Andrea's comments -- in fact, I was thinking all the same things she wrote. I guess we really are related! Anyway, I too am afraid to ask what happened to Kayden's bunny and I LOVE that picture of Carter!
