And Then They Were Off

Hailey got her braces off the week before school started.  She is so happy to be done with those, and I just love her new smile.  :)

Mackay Twice

The day we went to the Piano Guys we also spent the day with Bryce and his family and my parents.  We over to Mackay and visited a cool cave, a swinging tree, and White Knob Ghost Town.

Here are some pics:

We went last weekend with Kris and Kendra too.  The kid's new favorite spot.  They could spend the entire day swinging and be happy.

The Piano Guys!!!

I've been in love with the piano guys since their start.  They create such inspiring music, and they are just great, down to earth guys.  When I turn on their music in our home, it calms everything down.  Myself included.  :)

I've wanted to go to a Piano Guys concert for years, but it has never worked out.  Back in May Bo got me some fantastic tickets for my birthday and we got to go together.  I laughed so hard and even cried a bit.  These guys played so beautifully and had great messages throughout.  I can't wait to go again!

I loved this quote they had on their screen. "Don't only practice your art, but force tour way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine." Beethoven

Jefferson Country Fair 2019

The boys entered Legos and photos in the fair this year, and each Lego entry received a second-place ribbon.  The images did pretty well too. Con and Jack had fun entering their photos and winning awards, and they both got about $20 for it.

Great Job, Boys!  It was so great to see you with the confidence to show off your work!

Another Camp Out at Coulter Bay

We met up with Carley and her family and Grandpa Porter for a weekend of fun!

We spent a day in Jackson and hit up a school playground while we waited to meet up with Carley.  The kids had a blast jumping out of the swings and running around.

 We spent the next day in Yellowstone.  The south entrance is very close to Coulter Bay.  We saw some fantastic views and got held up for quite a while by some bison.  Yellowstone sure is a beautiful place.

This bridge was kind of scary to walk over.  Brayden didn't want to do it, but he conquered his fear and did it (twice)!

 Just playing at the lake:

We had a great time with everyone.  The kids get along really well together.  The last night we were there it POURED.  Whenever it rains, I'm always grateful we have a trailer.  Everyone came in, and we watched "Big."  The kids loved it and had a great time chillin in the RV for the night.  I forgot how much that movie swore, of course, but it was fun to watch a classic with the kids.
