August trip to CDA

Our vacation up north was wonderful! We are very blessed to have such wonderful family. I even was given many opportunities to relax, as my nieces loved to play and help take care of my "littles"! Thanks Emelia and Maddie!

Josh's parents built this amazing playset!




Christmas in August! Christmas tree included!














We spent part of the trip with my family. We went to VBS for part of the week and I helped my mom in the nursery while my children went to their classes. We also went to the fair while we were there...elephant ears and Kettle corn, yummy!

It was so worth it!

So, I pulled my kiddos out of bed at the crack of dawn and headed to Boise to the Hot Air Balloon Classic Event, where about 40 balloons took off. It was amazing! The kids had so much fun watching all the different balloons take off and fly through the air. Their favorite was Mickey Mouse. They got to see them blow it up and then take off. It was a chilly early morning, but absolutely gorgeous! We topped it off with breakfast with friends afterwards.
(sidenote: I left my lights on during the event and ended up with a dead battery. Kristen and I tried to figure out how to jump start the van, but we ended up having to flag down a man to help us.)

5 months old...where does the time go!
