I'm Back!

Sorry I have been missing guys - just super busy with family visiting and the long Holiday weekend and all. Basic run down and then some photos to share!
All last week Ed's sister from Texas, Carla, and her family were here visiting. Carla, Rich, Meagan and Brandon DROVE from the Dallas/Fortworth area up to Idaho to spend the 4th with us and we had a blast!

We spent a full day up in Yellowstone and Grand Teton Natl' parks - we went to Old Faithful, ate ice cream, picinic'd at the Tetons and had a mild run in with a bear! (YES! A BEAR!)

We celebrated Carla's 41st Bday with a nice adult dinner out with our friends Blake and Lisa (they all totally hit it off!) and spent time visiting, shopping and hanging out.
Thursday Ed's other sister, Odessa, from Boise came to visit. Odessa, Art, Josh, Kennedy and step daughter Brianna came over for the 4th as well and bless their hearts they got a hotel and even took all the kids swimming!
Friday was the 4th and was BUSY FULL OF FUN! In the a.m. we did the parade, then in the afternoon we went to Blake and Lisa's for a huge bbq and games (slip n' slide, trampolene, football and more) then that night we all gathered for the big fireworks display and after that we came back home and did our own fireworks out front! WHEW it was a long day!
Early Sat we got up, loaded the cars and headed to Boise for a family bbq/reunion. We visisted with Ed's folks, went to the bbq and then later went to a big dinner. Sunday we had Odessa, Josh and Kennedy's baptism and ANOTHER bbq dinner! We headed home Sun afternoon but I stopped with my boys in Twin Falls to visit my sister Carlee quickly! (who looks AMAZING by the way!)
Dani is now in Oregon with Ed's other sister and Tiffany stayed in Boise with Odessa! I have ALL boys for 2 weeks!
I hope to get back on track this week, have tons of photos to share but for now will just leave you with these pretty dang photos of the Grand Tetons that I took with my wimpy little Koday Easyshare camera!!!!
More later.... Darla
