It has been so great this summer to have a lake to jump in anytime we need to cool off. Loaded with fish, warm enough to swim in and big enough to get a little crazy in. The kids love it and beg to go everyday. Marin is a little daredevil, she will go on anything and is not afraid to get thrown off. Ashton just likes to ride on the jet ski and Greyson is satisfied just to look at the water. I am just waiting for him to leap in for kicks!

Home sick









We are here in Rexburg and I am finding that I am quite more homesick than I thought I would be. Even though I am from Pocatello, went to college at Ricks, and have all my family here; I miss my home and friends very much. There is definitely a different pace in Rexburg, no one drives fast and I haven't seen a policeman on the road yet. Stores and places open late and close early. But there is a clean flicks which I love! My family has been great, I think I was unpacked in record time and have been invited to lots of dinners. My dad even hauled over the weed wacker and went crazy on the amazon forest attacking the house.
Greyson has already required a trip to the Community Care and the dentist. He tripped and smashed his face into the firplace mantle. He is probably going to lose his front baby tooth after only having it a year. I am not used to such a wild toddler.
It is very nice to have a second bedroom on the main floor so don't have to climb a mountain to get Mesa to bed. I am excited to share a cricut machine with my sisters and to learn to bake bread like a pro. I can see the temple from our front window and it almost looks fake because it is bright and luminous on the hill. We took some pictures before we moved, it is so green and beautiful in Alpine.
