Our Family: One month...the highlights

Since I fell off the radar, we've been really busy around here! The decline in blogging came mostly because of girls camp. I was a wreck trying to get everything planned and ready! I'm thinking I prefer not being in charge. =) We had alot of fun, though. Here I am hiding in the back since no one really wants to see me even attempt a dance. It was an army theme but we were bees, if that explains anything.

I made some blue camo hats for our ward to wear that I was pretty proud of!

I got home, slept one night in my own bed and then packed back up and we all headed to Pocatello for the 4th of July. All the cousins were together! Now, trying to get them all to look was impossible, but this one was close.

Here we are lighting and watching the fireworks.

The girls then had two weeks of swimming lessons. We had grandma and grandpa visit, caught butterflies, made flower crowns, celebrated our anniversary, Casey took his comprehensive exam (which he passed...yay!!), and signed his teaching contract (YAY!!!!!).

Then we went camping at Elks Flat for a night. Here are a couple videos. Luke loved keeping the fire going! And Maia was just so cute winding up to throw the frisbees.

There was a hand pump for the water. Everyone had to take a turn...even dad. =)

Here we are at the hot springs right next to the river. Casey and Maia are in the really warm water and the kids are in the cooler water. On the other side of the line of rocks though, is the REALLY hot water! It was crazy! This is also where Maia got a leech on her leg...a big one. It covered a scratch she had perfectly. The kids were done swimming after that but we've since learned that leeches are good eventhough they're kind of weird looking and Sadie was even drawing leeches in church the next day. =)
