Shoshone Falls a couple weeks ago, impressive!My sweet cousin Jessica called me today making sure I was alive and functioning because I haven't posted in a few weeks. Sure made me feel good, but bad that I have been a slacker for a while. I feel a lot of pressure to make this post so awesome since it's been so long but don't get too excited it's pretty basic.
Anway I hope I kept some readers...
If you haven't been keeping track we have only been home for 6 days since April 10th!! We got home last night and blogging has been on my to do list. Along with sorting 3 months of mail, bills, grocery shopping, etc. It's been a crazy 3 months and I have so many pictures and stories to share that it's tough to know where to start. So I'll start with our favorite thing to do so far this summer, boating. Hence the first couple of songs on the blog. They get you pumped to jump into freezing cold water!
RaeAnn and Paul have taken us out a couple times, and I was wimpy and whiny from the cold and my lack of skills but we still had fun. 
Then this last week we went 5 or 6 times on Nolans parents boat. I finally crossed the wake and surfed a few different times. Wahoo!!! 
One day the wake board was broken and there weren't enough people to make surfing fun so I gave knee boarding a shot. Oh man, is that the most funny thing or what? I felt like an amputee and got such an ab workout from laughing that I had to give the driver the "I've had enough" signal. I think I just don't really get what you do when you are out there. I got to spend some time in my favorite spot on the front of the boat just soaking in the rays. Nolan did everything I did a few more times and really showed up my "skills" He also slalomed a couple times and really improved. Thomas gave kneeboarding a try but I don't have the picture. (Holly if you'd be so kind to email me it that'd be great:-) )
I will be back with more but this is a little preview of what is coming next....

I'm glad to see a post. I thought your new haircut gave you some attitude or something. :) Boating is so fun...glad you got to go. I love that first pic of your family, you look beautiful in it.
YAH for a new post! Those falls are amazing. I bet it feels good to be back! Gosh, your kids are just too cute. That's a cute family pic at the falls. And I still LOVE your hair.
Hurray, new post! Sounds busy, but fun- I'm impressed with your boating skillz!
I have been wondering what you have been up too. You are so brave to ski and try knee boarding, I've only ever got up the nerve to go on a tube once and I made Chad drive the boat and go way slow, then I made them stop before I fell off. I'm a chicken!! Can't wait to see more of what you've been too.
tingling . .you got that right! i seriously am going to be your twin when i get my hair cut (well then i'd have to loose 20 lbs and smile 24/7) . .okay well at least our hair will match! you looked way awesome on the wake board and little grace is growing up too fast!
It looks like you have been having fun! You are so brave to be so adventurous with too kids! Looks like you have fun and I can't wait to hear about the rest!
I can't wait to see more. Hope you're enjoying being home. We miss you already.
Your hair is so cute! You guys have been all over! I miss boating so much! Looks like you guys had fun. Glad that you made it home!
I'm glad you guys are back home. I can't believe it had been so long....I love coming back home after a trip. I am so happy you gained some mad skills on the wakeboard. You are awesome. I have both my kids asleep right now. Matthew has a fever and fell asleep in the car at 9 this morning and fell asleep when we got back from the doctor. Poor kid. I hope you are doing well. I wished I could have stayed another week with you guys.
I am not sure how you handle all that traveling!?! The last few weeks definitely look like tons of fun I bet Thomas loved boating and Gracie probably got in some good naps. That is all Ian did when we took him last summer however he was only a couple months old. Sounds like fun can't wait to see more!
Welcome back. Now you put the pressure on me to post. I wish I had some awesome wakeboarding pics to share. I am so proud of you!!
I knew you were busy, but 3 weeks without a post!?! That's a little too long. :) I have no room to talk. Anyway, looks like LOTS of FUN! I always love seeing what you guys have been up to.
Finally! just kiddn'. I feel dumb for bugging you yesterday, but I'm glad you were having lots of fun and not dead or something! I love the picture of the kids in your sunglasses :) Wish we had a boat or someone to bumb-off of. Glad you're working on all your water skills. Gotta keep up with your sis and bro-in-law! love ya.
I was wondering where you've been :) It's fun to see what you've been up to...boating looks awesome, I'm jealous - Brandon and I keep saying we need to find some friends with a boat! Your kids are looking adorable, like always! I love them in the little life vests and sun glasses.
Yeah!!! I'm glad your home and had a great vaca =) Oh and I L-O-V-E your hair!!!
love the new blog music, love the boating picks, love reading new posts by you, can't wait for the next one!
WOW, 16 posts! You are so popular. I love the skiing pictures. Takes me back. I sure wish our paths would cross.
Water skiing is so much harder than it looks. I remember barely even getting up at all. It looks like you got the skills though.
I am so jealous that you have got to go boating so much. I am nice and round and prego this summer, so boating isn't so hot. Enjoy it for me!
You look like a pro on the wake board. Gracie looks so cute in her little life jacket. And Shoshone Falls looks pretty amazing. I would be lying if I said the blog book thing wasn't a lot of work but it will be worth it when it is done (I am on Dec. yay!). The program isn't the most user friendly - pretty slow and you do have to change the format for pretty much every page, but with the new version you can custom make pages, which is good. So it does take a while, but I just figure it is family history right?
Shoshone falls?!? That looks familiar :) Boating is definitely my summer fav as well. Hopefully I'll run into you again in Boise it is always fun seeing you. Jake definitely liked playing with Grace or at least Grace's toys not sure which.
Oh my gosh, you guys have been keeping busy! Sounds like fun! We just got back from a trip home to MT and when we drove to Darby to see Blades family, we saw 'ol Blodgett creek and I thought of you! Miss you! The kids are looking super cute on the boat!
