First Snowstorm!

Oct 6th was Idahos first snowfall of the year. And we got a ton! When I left for work that morning at 6 it was raining and by the end of my shift the snow was coming down like crazy.

And this is what I got to come home to....

Yup that's right our neighbors tree that hangs over into our yard totally broke and crashed into our yard. Almost hit the house and my mother in-law. It was huge and in the middle of the road. Poor Boe and his dad spent hours cutting up the tree and taking it to the dump. Our first snowfall started off with a bang! Hopefully we wont have anymore trees falling for the rest of winter!

Boise Trip

This past weekend we went over to Boise for the football game. I haven't been to a college football game in a few years so it was fun to be able to go again. It was super hot for the first half of the game which was a little uncomfortable but it cooled off nicely once the sun went down. We had great seats close to the field. Boise played great and won! Aside from the game we did a tiny bit of shopping and hung out with family.

We love the smurf turf

Our last night in Boise Boe and I stayed in a hotel. Super comfy beds. Best night sleep we had in awhile and it was greatly needed. When I got up in the morning to shower I got this nice surprise. It was huge and ugly! So happy I have a hubby who kills scary yucky things for me!

Fun at the Fair

They wanted to have matching tattoos with Ronnie Dunn

I promise he loves my kisses despite the face


This past week was the East Idaho State Fair. We went down 2 days and had so much fun. Probably my favorite year yet. We ate too much fair food (that was so good), saw some cute animals, magician, hypnotist, crafts, and an amazing concert! We saw Ronnie Dunn in concert and he was AMAZING. Seriously he sounds so good live and put on a great show. He even played lots of his songs from when he was Brooks and Dunn. It was my first concert with Boe which made it all the more special. Hope we can do it again real soon.

Then and Now

Our Kayley is not a puppy anymore. We have hit our year mark with her. She is bigger than we expected. We still love her even though she can be a pill. She still can't keep her tongue to her self and has to lick you at every chance she gets. Her tail is a weapon that never stops moving. We love her despite her annoying habits and spoil her to bits. She has truly brightened our lives and fits in with us so well.

Kayley at 10weeks so cute in her bed

Kayley at 14months in the same bed. I took it out to put it in our garage sale and she has been sleeping in it for weeks even though she has a bigger bed to choose from. Shes so big she has to stretch out the sides

So at times she results to use it as a pillow

She loves car rides and this is her favorite thing. Especially when were in the country. She cant get enough of all the smells.

Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July! It started out early in hopes of making it to the parade but unfortunately we missed it. We headed over to the river and walked around to the different booths they had and enjoyed a snow cone. After that we went and saw Thor at the cheap theater. It was actually a better movie than I thought it would be and it was nice to get out of the heat for a couple hours. We headed home so I could fix up these tasty 4th of July themed treats. I had a blast making these festive treats! Boe told me they were delicious. We didnt go to the river to watch the fireworks this year, Boe didnt want to deal with all the crowds so we ended up watching the fireworks from the side of the highway. It actually ended up being a fabulous view. Plus our local radio station broadcasts the music during the fireworks. Overall it was a fantastic day!

Jam!

Totally random post but a couple months I canned for the first time. I did 24 jars of strawberry jam. I must say I think they taste pretty good and they taste so much better than store bought jam. Felt a little more Mormon after I was done : ) Looking forward to canning something new.
