Amazing Experience

Last Wednesday Trent's parents got set apart to go on their mission to Baltimore, Maryland. All of the siblings (Minus Cory, :( ) and their spouses got to go witness this awesome experience. It was so neat. We all met up at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and then headed over to the Administration Building. Such a cool looking building inside. Once there we were summoned to the third floor to Elder Bednar's Office. What an awesome experience it was to be in the presence of such an amazing man. The spirit was overwhelming in that room. I will never forget that. What awesome Missionaries his parents will be!

So Long, Farewell...

Lumpy loved this stroller!

Brent's Beloved horses. Pierce was devastated when we left.. he loves them too!

Braxton being such a good cousin... Brock followed him like a shadow and about every 2 seconds yelled, " Braxton!" He absolutely loved being around Braxton!

This last weekend we journeyed up to Boise to bid Trent's parents a fond farewell. They have been called as mission presidents. They will be serving for 3 years in Baltimore, Maryland! What an awesome but overwhelming experience. We got there Friday night and we spent the night with Trent's friend Brandon Keller.. aka "Cougar". It was so nice. We spent Saturday at The Belliston's House playing with cousins, picking cherries off the tree, digging in the sand box, horseback rides and jumping on the tramp. And just when you thought we had enough.. we then went to cousin Trevor's basketball game. And to make the evening the best of all the adults got to escape from the madness and have a spiritual retreat at the Boise temple. As a family we all got to go and perform sealings. Such a wonderful event. Trent's dad is a Sealer so it was even more special for our family! What a wonderful thing the Temple is! We came back for some good food and then crashed at Cougars again.

Sunday morning was of course Father's day.. I totally spaced it. I remembered all weekend, but when it came down to the actual day I forgot. Sorry Trent. Hopefully my gift makes up for it? Anyway we went to church and heard his parents speak. The spirit was so strong there. So grateful to have such great in-laws. I really couldn't have hand picked better ones! Then back to the house for more good food and of course lots of company. It was a success!

Props for Keelee again..

Got my hair cut again... Keelee is amazing! I love when I go to see her. I went from a mullet mom to this..... Thanks again for being such a great friend and making me laugh!

Being Kids

The boys enjoyed playing the air hockey game.

Loved how he just watched from the sidelines!

Pierce and Grammy Russ

Da boys!

Tyden was a dancing machine in front of the Blue screen! It was so funny to watch.. he was so serious!

So a few weeks ago .. When it was storm after storm. The kids were starting to go crazy , not being able to go outside. I called my mom and we arranged a time to go to Chuck-e-Cheese. We met my mom, Tyden, Lindsay, Dax, and Jo over at the new Layton one. It was a blast for the kids. It really wore us all out. The cousins just had so much fun together.

Don't ever leave Lumpy alone...

Okay so I left the room to go do some laundry.. maximum of like two minutes. When I left he was fully clothed! He is a little stinker! Really sometimes I don't know what I am going to do with him. He is sassy and throws the WORST tantrums. Seriously, that last like 10 minutes of blood curdling screams! Atleast he is cute!

Gracie Swims>>

On Saturday Trent took us all over to the Jensen pond to watch Gracie go for a little swim. She really enjoys it! It was cute to see how excited she got! The boys thought it was hilarious and couldn't stop laughing.

She is getting SO BIG! I cannot believe it!
