Labor Day Weekend with the Boones

We had a fun Labor Day weekend with Michael's sister Theresa and her family. We went for a hike in the mountains on Friday afternoon. Then, on Friday night, the adults went to see Mary Poppins. It was AMAZING! If you like musicals, then you need to see this one. It took me a while to wrap my head around the story line (it is not the same as the movie), but once I did, I loved it. There were so many special effects that were just mind blowing!

There was a fun little stream on our hike. Robby even caught a water snake! It freaked him out a little, but it was still pretty neat. Samantha didn't want to have anything to do with the cold water. She just wanted to go home and take a nap!

Zach loved riding in the back pack thing! He was looking around like crazy.

Family Pictures

I was finally able to upload the family pictures we had taken about a month ago! I've tried several times without success. Finally, blogspot likes me again! There are a lot of pictures, but I think they are so fun, so I'm sharing my favorites. We want to print out some pictures for family, so if you see any you want, please let me know and I'll makes sure to send them!!! Enjoy!

Samantha was obbsessed with all the rocks!!!

During July....

This summer wasn't too busy, then July hit!

Zach decided he likes moving around way too much to just fall asleep in his bed or in someones arms. There have been nights this month were I have had to go to the play room and let him play himself to sleep! This kid is a wiggle worm!

Michael turned 27!!! What a handsome man!!! :)

Samantha learned how to literally "lick her plate clean." She loved the icecream cake we had for Michael's birthday.

Zach has figured out how to grab EVERYTHING!!! He just doesn't stop moving. And boy does he have a reach!

We went to Idaho for the 24th. At Grandma and Grandpa Stone's, Zach had his first popsicle and LOVED it!!! It was the slow melting, mini kind, so it was just perfect for him.

We went to the parade in St. Anthony for the 24th. It was, as always, the best parade we've been to in a while! St. Anthony does parades they way they should be done, with awesome floats and chocolate milk! We also went to the 24th play, Tom Sawyer, because my youngest sister, Eliza, was in it. She did a great job!!!

Zach doesn't seem to care much for parades.

Michael, Samantha, and Zach all experiened their first rodeo! The bull fighting was the best part. We left early though because kids needed sleep!!!

We sat with my good friend, Camilla, and her husband, neices and nephew.

Samantha really enjoyed the rodeo, once she figured out that Brooke wanted to play with her!

Martha, Michael's oldest sister, and her family stopped by last night! It was so fun to see them and show off the house. Samantha cried when they left this morning. She loves playing with Spencer and Trent. We were lucky enough to have them get here on Martha's birthday, so we celebrated with a good dinner and cheesecake!

We are wrapping up the month with me going to girl's camp tomorrow and then we head to Idaho again to spend time with all of Michael's siblings! They haven't all been together in a long time, and I'm really looking forward to it (it's nice to have in-laws that you really like to be around)!
