I found these little gems at the DI this past week for 50 cents a piece. They're pretty enough, but not really my style.Paired with some Dollar Store vases and a touch of glue.., well.., that's more like me. Now..., what to put in them??? I may need to pull my fall decor out early this year just for these little guys. I wish I could take credit for being so creative, but I found the idea at Get Your Martha On. How cool of a blog name is that???

What's wrong with this picture???

You may think it's some thing like the kids jumping in bed, but.., nope.., it's not that. Check out the curtain rod??? Do you think that Maya's been pulling her curtains at all?!?! The end rod holders are completely bent! I may have to start 'Really Maya???' posts. Seriously though.., how fun is it to see your kiddos playing together and not fighting or screaming??? I LOVE it when it happens!!!

I Adore My Family!!

It's lazy Sunday afternoons like yesterday that just make me happy. We didn't do anything exciting. We lounged around our back yard and laughed a lot! Phoebe is a riot on the hammock and loves jumping on and off..., and of course that made the kids laugh.., and well.., their laughs always make me laugh too. I love my family! They are the best!

Oh how I LOVE Burley, Idaho!!!

We are so lucky to not only have relatives that live in Burley..., but to also have them be relatives we actually enjoy spending time with and enjoy to boot! We love our Idaho Family and always have such a blast when we see them. This is the 3rd summer for the O Fam mini reunion in Idaho. This is also the first year Dan's folks were here in the states and able to come as well, making it all the more fun. Mason trying his hardest to wake up the Wilson girls who has slept on the trampoline over night.
Maya even tried to help, but they didn't budge too much.
These are the type of swings they had in Mexico. They call them airplane swings.., not really sure why cause I don't see the resemblance, but what ever the case, my kiddos loved it. I think it's cool Dan's brother made one for his kids in their barn.
My kids are HUGE country kids at heart like their Momma and LOVED being outside for hours on end. The cool thing was.., they could just run around with the cousins and I didn't have to worry too much about them. I mean.., in the country all you really have to worry about are things like coyotes carrying away your babies or baby cows nipping at your fingers when you stick them in their mouths!

I swear Mason spent hours up here looking at the babies cows and horses. I'm also still surprised he didn't break his arm when he tried standing on the very top rung of the fence. Needless to say I didn't get a picture of that one.

The saggy diaper with no shorts on is totally fine in Idaho.

Maya has always been a Grampa's girl. It was funny to see how she was a bit confused at first when grandma and grandpa showed up in Idaho.

Maya loves the water. She wanted nothing to do with me in the water and would get mad at me if I tried to hold on to her. I need to get this girl into some swim lessons.

Lunch at the River.

I love this picture of Dan's mom and his brother walking down to the boat. I think it's so tender to see this big guy hold his mom's hand to help her walk. I wish I had pictures of the late night games, because I hear those were the best this year. I feel asleep putting the kiddos to sleep. How lame is that?!?!?! Thanks again Dave and DeAnn! We had a blast as always!

Guess where we were???

Love! Love! LOVE this place!!!!

Really Son???

Kool Aid + Dog Water Bowl = A VERY Unhappy Mommy I was too upset to take a picture of the bright red kids and puppy running around in the back yard.
