Summer time part 1

Wow this summer went by in a flash.  We has A LOT of fun and were super busy.  We made many great memories as a family.  

This cute face was at home to greet us back from New York. 

 Bubble time with Grandma and Grandpa Trevino

 Someone loves McDonald's fries as much as I do.

 Big Sisters helping get Samantha to church.

 Lexi now being in competitive soccer means fund raising. Our team had a car wash and I was so proud of her for knocking doors and selling tickets to the car wash.  She sold all 10 that we had in less then an hour. It might be because she is just so darn cute. They had a great turnout and made enough to cover a few tournaments and some supplies. It was an 100+ degree day and she was exhausted when she got home but it was great for her to see how hard it is to make money.

 I am pretty sure she had more cake then dinner.

 Baby you must find a better spot if you are going to sneak cookies. I love the "Uh Oh" face.

 We went to Paul, Idaho to visit family for the 4th of July.  We had a great time. Lexi was very adventurous and went down this slide probably a thousand times. Unfortunately the last time she caught her toe on something and got a big cut and we later found out sprained it real bad.  She couldn't walk for a few days and she had a nice big bruise.

 Danielle had her own version of going down the slide.

 Lexi's first time on the jet ski.

 Of course no surprise that my kids spent hours playing in the mud. The were nice a dirty but had the time of their lives playing with cousins.

 Nothing like the Rupert parade. This was only a few of the kiddos but I just love this picture! Maybe one day we can do it all again!

Since Lexi could barely walk we decided rock climbing was out for the day so we had a girls day in Twin Falls while the boys climbed at the city of rocks.  We went to a movie with some cousins, some shopping and we even watched some brave souls base jumping off the bridge.

 The girls tried their little hands at making jam.

 We enjoyed more walks on the river and going to some parks. We seriously have some amazing sunsets here.

 The older girls spent many hours shut in their room building a Lego city. It had hotels, post office, restaurants and much more. It was great to see the creative juices flowing and the hours of peace was amazing as well.

 Samantha loves to help carry in groceries. Anytime was get home she goes straight to the tailgate and insists on carrying something.

 Canal building at Grandpa's house. My kids dream come true.

 Someone keeps up the naughtiness. She got into my flavored syrups and squirted about half of a bottle of blackberry flavoring out. The is what it did to her leg that soaked through her pants.

 Lexi won 4 tickets to watch the local Dust Devils play baseball.  We have never been to one game living here.  I think we will have to go again next summer. The kids enjoyed the popcorn and treats. They did not however enjoy the mascot Dusty.  He came over to us, Danielle was not thrilled but Samantha freaked out. She kept her eye on him the rest of the game and even when he was on the field she started fussing.
