Going back in time...

Summer is now over but I am finding all these pictures that I haven't put on my blog, and since I use my blog as a journal and print it every year, I thought I better backtrack a little and get them posted.

Here are some cabin pictures from my family reunion we had in July. My dad has some awesome pictures of us floating the Hoback, but I didn't get them in time to post them. They are some pretty awesome pics though. The kids spent most of their time trying how to figure out how to hook the trailer to the 4 wheeler...




They finally got it!!









Playing Minute to Win It....





They also found an awesome climbing tree and spent almost a whole day playing on it. We hope to build a fort for them next summer!!






It rained every night around dinner time so the kids got stuck inside....





Boating, boating and more boating!! We love it!!












Linc loves his Papa...


We also went to Jackson and even hit their county fair...it was pretty lame but the boys got in a few rides....











My parents took all the grandkids to Ross park a few weeks ago. I didn't get very many but I the ones I did get I absoultely love....





Here are just a few of my favorite random pics of the summer....













Hope that wasn't too much of a picture overload!! I'll try to stay on track better in the future!!

Loving life...

Things have been a little crazy at our house(like always) so I haven't been great at blogging but I'll get better once summer is over and everything settles down.
Luke started school last week. He was accepted into ISU's Speech Pathology Graduate Program. We are so proud of him. He's really nervous but I know he'll do great. Linc also started preschool last week. He's loving it as am I:)

This weekend we enjoyed a relaxing time in Boise visting Shawn and Chelsie. We had so much fun and wished we lived closer to them. The Boyles had tons of fun things planned and of course I forgot my camera....so here's a few pics taken with my phone..


We....

Went to the zoo...


Had a picnic..







Went swimming..



Had a jumping party on the mattress..



Took a nap in the car..



~We did tons of other things..including a bumper bash with a curb(don't ask) and ate some awesome and not so awesome food. We loved our trip there and Linc is already asking when we could go back. The ride there was a bit hairy....everything Linc said on the way was totally dramatic..."Mom this is tooo far" "Mom I have to pee sooo bad" "Mom I'm sooo hungry"But I would do it all again.

On a side note-I don't think Ledger is EVER going to get rid of his pacifier...

Summer Days

Life has been pretty crazy at the Searle house. It seems like all I do is pack and unpack bags. I guess that's what summers are all about though right?? I'm kinda ready for it all to start slowing done though. We have gone to the Splash Park a few times this summer and every time we go the boys absolutely love it.





Linc and Carson
















They also found a tree they just fell in love with..they spent half the day climbing that tree.




My Favorite pic of the day...










They also wanted to try out the carousel..and of course loved it too!






Last weekend we had a girls weekend with Luke's family. It was so nice to be able to shop without 2 kids. Thank you mom and Luke for letting me be able to get away for a few days. You guys are the best a girl could ask for!!






We shopped till we dropped!!


Another favorite picture. ..he's such a ham.
