The Month of August overload...

Well the month of August was a very busy month. The first weekend Brant's brother Spencer and his family came to visit and of course I forgot my camera but we had lots of fun we started by going bowling and dinner and then the next day we had a movie/game night and then we went to ross park in Pocatello. We were very tired and worn out but we had tons of fun. The next weekend of August we had our annual Sautter Family Vacation and we went to Bear Lake again. We went to the Minnatonka Caves which was really cool the kids really liked it and then we went to the little Bear Lake Hot springs to swim. We then went to Bear Lake to the same beach spot and Hillary and I built our first sandcastle together I think we did a really good job. When we got home from that Brant had to go to Utah for work and then got home the day before the boys 4th birthday. So we then celebrated the boys birthday and then are so into Star Wars lately that we just had to get a Star Wars cake they got lots of fun stuff. Three days after their birthday Brant had to go to Huntington Beach California for work and we were able to go with him 14 hrs in the car but we had a great time at the beach and swimming at our hotel the kids were a little cautious about the ocean but we were still able to have a good time making sandcastles and playing in the sun. We got back Saturday just in time for the first day of School. We have had a busy month but it was well worth it.

4th of july and summer fun

We had such a great time this 4th of July, well we always do but the kids got to ride on a float this year in the parade. Aunt Hillary needed some help with the float they did for there school and asked the kids if they would be spiders cause it was a super hero theme and Jordan was spiderman and Melissa was Maryjane so the three older kids got to dress up as spiders. It was way cold when we first got there and the kids were not very excited but when we saw them during the parade they looked like they were have a really good time. Then later we went to April and Todds like we do every year to have a BBQ and play some fun outside games. We had a blast.

I just wanted to do a little update we camping again with Brant's family this time and we went to Twin Bridges, It was alot of fun I think the kids got way dirtier this time then last time but they had a blast doing it. During the day the weather was beautiful it was hot but it was kind of over cast so we could stand the heat. At about eleven that night we got at wicked thunder storm and we were a little worried about the kids but they slept right through it and didn't even know it happened when we asked them the next morning about which was probably a good thing. We have enjoyed camping this year and hope to go some more if we can fit it in with all the other stuff that goes on in the summer time.
