Ropes Course

I am in this years class of Leadership Pocatello and I'm loving it! I have the BEST class and had such a blast with them on our retreat. We went to twin falls and went to the ropes course which really pushed me I loved it. We had the most hilarious debate on gun control I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. I'm excited about all the monthly adventures I will have with my class

We had to get three of us on top of this pole with a very small platform on the top. I thought it was impossible but we were able to pull the last lady up with nothing short of a miracle. 

This is SO much scarier than it looks. You climb on the top of this really high pole then jump a very far distance to grab the trapeze bar. The hardest part for most was getting both your feet on the top of this small pole while standing up. Don't let the safety rope deceive you it was so help at all. I had the hardest time jumping because you are so high and the bar was most definitely out of my reach. I prayed the lady down below would catch my slack before I hit the ground. Needless to say I was happy to be on the ground. 

I also climbed to the top of a very tall rock wall. I felt pretty hard core :)

Fair Time

We all know you really go to the fair for the food. I don't think I've ever eaten so much fair food but I LOVED all of it!

Moms gone wild.... or crazy

Rilynn and I recently took a girls trip to the Wolf Creek area of Utah. My parents are the BEST and had an extra condo that we all crashed in. It was chaos, but I loved every minute of it! The babies were so good and it was great to spend some much needed time with the mamas. I'm posting a million pictures but there were just too many cute ones.

Amazing all the kids are holding still and not screaming

Going for a walk 

This was about the most hilarious moment. We of course were asking a lot trying to get a picture of all the babies. It was so hysterical that everyone was having a melt down and Hawk was trying to escape. Well just image what that picture could have been haha! 

Hawkins was so in love with Rilynn and was so adorable with her. I see a little romance in the making

Are you dying? So stinking cute

On the last day we left our babies on the beach with some great babysitters and took a wild ride on the tube. I don't think I will ever forget how hilarious that was. Emily was freaking out, I was laughing so hard I thought I would pee my pants, Charish was shrieking and Cali was flying all over the place. Oh man it was a highlight of the trip for sure the pictures kind of speak for themselves.

Jetts cute bare bum 

I consider myself so blessed to have the most amazing family to put together this trip and the best friends in the world. Not only are they so gorgeous but they are some of the best people I know. They uplift me and help me be a better mom. I couldn't ask for better role models! It was exactly the vacation I needed during a very emotional and trying time. I am so blessed!

Rilynn's Blessing

Rilynn Paige Bringhurst was blessed August 12, 2012 by her dad Steven Brett Bringhurst 

My baby is such an angel and it was a wonderful day to celebrate her and give her a name on the records of the church. She is loved by so many people. I wish I would have gotten more pictures of everyone that came to support us but as you all know its kind of a hectic day. Thank you so much to everyone that came your love and support doesn't go unnoticed. 

 The beautiful blanket was made by my dad's aunt Ila

 I did not make the dress for those of you thinking I am that good :) I did make her headband and she wore the shoes that I wore when I was blessed

 When I saw this fur shawl I couldn't pass it up. Everything is cute in miniature

 We had such a nice lunch after the blessing at my parents. Thank you thank you to everyone that brought food and a big thank you to my parents for all the hard work they did to make it special for Rilynn and I.
