Trip to Idaho Summer 2013...On the Road




This summer we decided to drive from North Carolina to Idaho. The adventure began in the car. I spent the month before making and gathering games and toys to keep the kids entertained during the long drive. The biggest hit was the prize bag. Every so often I let them pick a ticket. The pattern on the ticket matched up with a prize. The whole ride actually went pretty well. I may have over compensated on the entertainment but hey we got through the drive so all in all it was a success making it possible for us to try it again in a few years. 


Hitting the road 

St Louis Arch, always an awesome site

We found a few new temples on the way

 Kansas City Temple

By the time we saw this sign, it was the best sight ever!!

What we have been up to...June 2013



We started June out right by celebrating Paul's birthday at the lake. Aiden and I made fishing cupcakes for him the night before, however we did not get to enjoy them until the day after his birthday because Aiden wasn't feeling well. When we got off the water he had a fever so we just headed home instead.

Macie really started getting into all things dolls
