dirty dirty 2012

The other weekend josh and i ran the Dirty Dash again. it was a lot of fun and a lot more dirty this year. Josh's work put together a little team and i was the other girl. those men sure do know how to get real muddy!

I took this pictures from the site. they are way too expensive to purchase.

so much fun and hopefully i can participate in it again next year!

Jakobson camping trip 2012

this year Cory picked to go camping in Mccall for his birthday/ family camp trip

it had been a long time since i had camped in Mccall. it was so beautiful and SO much fun. I love being with my family. We were missing two important people though, Brent and my dad!

first trip to the lake.

tyson was super popular with the boat.

 cory and mads builing a sand castle together

 Grant the the other boys loved the goggles

 Mady

 i love how clear and clean the water is

 baby Will. He loved to eat the sand and tried really hard to crawl into the water.

 Owen is getting all 4 molars at once so he was VERY sick and whinny/clingy. he cared less about everything!!

 then his Aunt Jenny gave him the idea to throw rocks into the water. success!!

 roasting marshmallows

 second day at the lake we rented jet skis and took the boat out. so much fun. Josh had never been on a jet ski before and he was having too much fun on them.

 i finally got a smile from him!

 our sweet Mads

 left to right: Kole, Will, Mads, Grant, Mark, Boe, Luke and my sweet Owen.

So many boys in our family and one sweet princess

 pretty much how Owen was all weekend, but we still had a fantastic time.

 Mark was too tired he had a sweet nap at the lake. he was a sicky boy that weekend too.

Even though Owen had a horrible fever and was beyond whinny and running our patience very thin we still had a great time in Mccall with my family.

race day

Cory, Tyson and my sis n law Elena all did the tri-athlon in Emmett the other weekend. it was great being there to support them in there amazing accomplishments. plus tyson and his family were in town for the weekend and we all like spending time with them

willden's unite

it was that time of the year again when all of us Willden's come together and camp. we went to Wymoning again and it was fun. the weather was hot during the day and super cold at night. Owen was teething and was super clingy and whinny! but towards the end of the week he had made friends with the other boys and was in heaven.

the first morning there Owen woke up at 5:45 am!! crazy kid. he was up and ready to do something. mom and dad were not!

 Owen and his buddy cousin Aaron! yes Owen is sucking/chewing on a lemon. must feel good on his gums.

We had such a great time just relaxing and getting caught up on every one's lives. till next year Wild Willdens

 this is how we are spending our summer!

and loving it!

quick trips

Owen and I just did two quick trips back to back and i am exhausted!

first was a camping trip at Red Fish. it  has been a few years since i am been there and let my say just how gorgeous that place is. I love to camp and it did not disappoint.

the day after we got there we went on a hike to 4th of july falls. Josh wasn't able to come camping so i was on my own. so on the hike i had to carry Owen the 1.5 mile in and out in the back pack!it was quite the hikea and he is heavy and my shoulders were super sore the next day, but i didn't complain.....till now!

 Grant had a little backpack with his fishing pole sticking out of the back. he is so cute! and then me and my big boy ready to hike!

 the mesquitos were not super bad at camp but on the hike they were HORRIBLE! maddy got a huge bite right on her cheek!

 it was a pretty hike

 Mark was strapped in so well he couldn't move his head from this position! kinda funny

 at the end of the hike was the lake. Grant caught his first fish and was so excited about it.

Trip #2
so i got home Friday night and Saturday morning we left for Redmond, Oregon! Josh has a good friend who was getting married and we had planned this trip for awhile. it was a nice get away to the beautiful oregon country. OWen did pretty good in the car considering all the traveling he had done days before.

we ran out of diapers in the diaper bag and Owen had a stinking issue! i felt bad so we changed his and i made a "diaper" out of my diaper holder. he thought is his funny and i was praying he didn't pee!

 the wedding was gorgeous! it was at his family ranch which is breathe taking! seriously is didn't want to leave. they had a very country themed wedding but it was done with such elegance and chic!

 how handsome are my boys!?

now i am exhausted from driving a ton and not sleeping in my bed!

4th of July

this was our outfits for church the sunday before the 4th. i love dressing up for holidays!

 we did was we always have done on the 4th of July.....boating! i can't remember a 4th when we didn't go boating. it's such a fun time! this year we were missing some family members and so it was just us, cory and his family and then my parents. it was nice that we were all able to be in the boat at once and enjoy each other more.

 owen loved the boat a lot better this year. he insisted on driving all the time. him and marky love their Grandpa!

 grant and mads. Mads was able to wakeboard for the first time this summer, with cory's help. Grant wakeboarded all by himself and did awesome!

 afterwards we headed to Cory's house for dinner and fireworks with their neighbors

 we got a lot of sun!

 jenny and I made tye dye shirts for the kids. I loved them! I did take like a ton of pictures of these three but it was so hard to get one where they all looked good

 grant and Owen on the wagon parade

 love him!

 Josh's legs and feet got FRIED! i mean he was bright red. poor guy.

we were able to put owen to sleep and enjoy and nice firework show that night.
