Are we surprised that it has taken me so long to blog again. We have been having a wonderful spring and summer so far. We are staying very busy and the girls are having a lot of fun. We are getting to experience some pretty cool things and just enjoying life.
My family at Calderon Lynn



 We Saw the steam engine pass through Minidoka county. We pulled up and were running toward it as it was pulling away so we didn't get a chance to get up close to it but we were able to see the steam coming out of it, which is pretty impressive and we got to hear the toot toot so we were glad we went.



 Our girls day in Layton. We picked up so concrete coatings stuff for Doug and then did a little shopping and lunch. It was a long day but we had fun together.
 We found pancake molds at the DI in Layton of a pig, cow, and chick. The girls love them and request them almost every time we make pancakes



  We got to take the girls to the Idaho Falls Temple open house. It was a very fast trip we went up after work Friday night and had some work in Juniper on Saturday morning so we stopped in to see my dad after the open house and dinner and went home but I was grateful for the chance to show my girls where we were married and show them how blessed we are to have so many temples so close to us.





 The girls got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Miles for a couple of days while Doug and I worked and I got a few pictures sent to me of how much fun they were having.


Macy has become a very big helper lately she was helping me with laundry and helps me with dishes a lot too. 
HOORAY! Its warm enough to play outside all day and go swimming. 


These girls love their little sister! 
 

 We went to Indie's baptism and got to spend some time with the cousins. 


 Last night we went to the circus. It was a lot of fun. The girls have been talking about the elephants all day and the tricks they did. I think its safe to say that the headstand the elephant did was their favorite part. There were some really cool acrobats and archery. They even shot a guy out of a cannon. I am really glad we got to go and were able to spend that time together.

My baby is already 2 months old. I can't believe it. She has grown so fast and I love when she smiles and coos at me, it makes my day. The girls love her and have been really big help. With the warmer weather that has come we have made a few family trips. The river is really full from all that snow we have gotten so Shoshone Falls has been amazing this year. We have gone as a family and then I took my mom and Jordan and then we took my whole family when they came for Brynli's blessing. And we took them to Caldron Linn, they are both amazing. The mist off of Shoshone makes it feel like it is raining so it is kind of cold and we got pretty wet but I think it is worth it.










We have been working on our concrete counter tops for probably a month now. It has been fun working with Doug on them but I am really excited for them to be done. The night we poured them the girls and I went out and played in the shop and then went home so the girls could go to bed and I tried waiting up for Doug but got tired and gave up. When Brynli woke up to eat at 2:30 that morning Doug was still not home. I got really worried. He finally called me back and told me he was on his way home. When he walked in he looked like this.
Easter was also very fun. Saturday we went to Doug's parents house and had an Easter party with his whole family. It was really fun and we got spoiled in the Easter egg hunt. Sunday the girls woke up and did really well finding Easter eggs around our house but they are still finding them here and there today. We got to spend the day together and relaxed, it was a very enjoyable day.





I think Macy's mouth has been full of candy for two days now she is loving all the chocolate. I am so grateful for our family and that we can be together forever. I am so grateful for our savior and the sacrifices which he made for us so that we can return to him and be together as a family. We are so blessed.
