Pirate's Cove....

Well, we finally had our trip to Pirate's Cove in Boulder City Nevada this past weekend and it was everything and more!! I have been looking forward to this child free getaway for months now! This place is insane and like a playhouse for adults filled with pools, waterslides, pirate ships, rope swings, cliff jumping, and more!! Ben's company paid for all of the employees to go to Pirate's Cove for a weekend and if you have a chance check it out on You Tube. One of the founders of 'Nuskin' products bought all of the props from the Treasure Island Hotel in Las Vegas when they remodeled and built this pirate haven mansion overlooking Lake Mead. More pictures and stories to come!!!!

Bride to Be!!!

My wonderful friend Danica is getting married!!!! Not until October, but we wanted to have a fun pool party with the girls to wish her single life goodbye! I have known Danica since my freshman year at college where we have shared many great memories cheering at BSU together, being roomates, and just plain having fun! I am so happy for her and wish her the best for her upcoming big day! Love you Nica!!!

Camping in McCall.....

We finally got one camping trip in this year a few weeks ago, but it happened to be the one weekend that ended up raining almost the whole time:( We roughed it out though and didn't get too soaked! We found an awesome camping spot right on the Upper Payette Lake near McCall and had a great few days full of fishing( even though we didn't catch anything!!!), eating, swimming, eating, campfires, eating, hiking, and more eating!! Thanks for a good time with Aunt Beth and cousins Hannah and Drew who joined us!

From the mouths of babes.....

Oh how it would be to think like a child again, so simple, so innocent, so pure and not really understanding the realities of the world today. Yesterday the girls were asking a lot of questions about a little boy who has been missing in the area since July 24th. The community has really come together to search for him and it has been all over in the paper, on the news, and posters everywhere around town. Of course, Macee being as inquisitive as she is, has been asking lots of questions which have been very hard to answer. It is just not a fun topic to talk about with your kids either:( Unfortunately, they did find a small boys body in a canal a few days ago and it looks like it may be that of the missing boy. They were asking if it was him and I told them the police were not sure who the boy was yet that they found.
Jadyn then said, "Well if it is him then he is probably up in heaven huh, mom."
I agreed, and then Macee said, " I wish that somebody had Jesus' phone number so then we could just call him and ask if the boy is up there already and then everybody would know."
Ahh to think like a child, I think that is one of my favorite parts of being a parent is hearing the cute and creative things they say. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of this poor little boy.
