4th of July


I have spent every summer of my life in Malad Idaho!:) We had a great time as always! We spent the 4th of July weekend there with the family! It was bitter-sweet to be at Grams house without her there. We went on a drive one day around Malad and Samaria where Grams and Grandpa grew up. We stopped to see the "OREO" cows!

We stopped to see the school where Grandma taught 4th-6th grade. All that remains is a memorial bell.

I use to run in the 4th of July races up at the park every year and this year Hannah ran and did awesome!! She loved it!

Mike, Kara and Kenzie came! So fun to see them! Wish they lived here!:)

You are busted!! It's Maddox that blew it for you. Malad, I understand us not seeing each other, family time and all. But Maddox, it's only twenty five minutes from my house. Plus I owe you a lunch. Luckily for you I understand family time crunches and travel time with kids in the car. I still want us to get together with our husbands next time we come down there. We MIGHT come for Thanksgiving, so maybe we could see you then. Hannah looks so cute on the 4th of July, and I can't believe how big Carson is getting.
