...Winning her way to fame!!! -part 2

We spent the second half of our vacation at the Freddy house and got some much needed time with cousins and family. The boys had a blast going on walks, jumping on the trampoline and I was lucky enough to meet little Foster Fredrickson (although I missed out on a picture) that was born just hours before we left for Milwaukee. It was a fabulous vacation and it is crazy to think that it is one of the last 'vacations' we will ever spend in Idaho! Josh was home alone during this week of vacationing and we were all ready to be together again. 
I just love these people.
Trampoline warriors!
Oliver managed to get some ice cream
from Grandpa every single night. Who
could say no to that face! 
Miss Liv is a crack up!
I got to watch Eli play in his golf
tournament. He did great!
The boys got some quality reading time
in with Grandma.

Go Eli, Go!
Nice climbing, boys!


So many awesome kids!

Benji and Miles were so brave
with their climbing!
Benji was so brave and climbed up
to the top with me!

Ahoy thar, mateys!


Such an awesome group of kids!
All smiles.

We love Aunt Kate.
I lucked out with the best sisters
(Kennady was very much missed)
Another day, another adventure.


Missing Eli, but we're still quite the crew.
Shoulder rides for the youngest!


SuperOllie to the rescue!




These super-dudes make for one
crazy trio!
"Cheese!"
Reed's Dairy was a hit!



Full bellies and all smiles.


Oliver had so much fun touching all of the animals!


"Soft, Ma, Soft."


And the big boys were LOVING chasing
all of the flies around. 

Thanks for the fun evening, Grandma and Grandpa!

Next on the agenda, WATER DAY! The boys were looking forward to this day all week long and schemed the perfect sneak attack on Grandpa. It was a great day to be a kid :)




Slip 'n slides and ice cream, what perfect
summers are made of. 


Everyone loves a good ice cream cone.
How am I supposed to say no
to this face?!
Not sure what was happening
here, but they are pretty cute!
These four have a blast together!

So grateful for this sister of mine.

Five years old at it finest.
We went from one water day to another and spent the day up in Rexburg with the Leonardsons. The splash pad up there was awesome and the kids had a blast! Meeting the Fredricksons for snowcones afterwards was a great ending to the afternoon. We love family time and look forward to the day when we can have it more consistently in our lives!



This kid is hilarious.






Warming up in the sun.



The Four Stooges.

Ollie and Liv became
pretty good buds over the week.
Everyone loves a good
merry-go-round!


All of the cousins, tallest to shortest! 
Each individual face just brings a smile
to my face, every single time. 
Snow cones make summertime great.


The Crazy Train.
So grateful for these beautiful sisters of mine!
A very exciting afternoon
makes for some pretty exhausted
little boys. 
Didn't get a picture
with baby Foster, but this memory
will live on forever. 

Excited to see Daddy! 
Until next time, Idaho!
