Week at Grandma and Grandpa Duncan's

This summer we decided to have the kids visit Grandma and Grandpa Duncan from July 28th to August 5th. Alan and I drove the kids to Tremonton were we met mom and dad at Wendy's for dinner. After we ate mom and dad took our van and kids to Idaho and Alan and I drove their Honda back. The kids were so excited to see everyone and play. Mom and dad planned some fun activities to do with the kids.


Eating in Tremonton Tuesday night.

The kids got to help pick, or eat, the raspberries! Reagan and Kairi remember doing this last summer so they were really excited. From what I hear there was more eating than saving for later though!










After picking raspberries Leslie made raspberry shacks and Tahlia thought Grandpa eating was hilarious!

The kids also got to go for rides in Grandpa's tracker bucket.







Camden got a much needed hair cut!



The kids always have fun playing in the back yard and on the patio.











When the weather didn't cooperate they went and played at Artic Circle.







They played at a water park in Rexburg.







They Visited Great Grandparents.

Loving cousins... most of the time!

Thank you mom and dad for letting the kids come spend time with you... they had a great time!

Happy Anniversary!

It's been 7 years since Alan and I were married! So much has happened in that time. Where does the time go. It feels like yesterday we were in our first apartment waiting for Reagan to be born... now we are paying a mortgage and worrying about how to get our kids to soccer and dance. It has become a tradition for our kids to go see my parents in Idaho for a week every summer. We have done this over our anniversary for the past couple of summers! Great idea! We get to have time to do whatever we want whenever we want. Alan thinks I spend too much money during that week, but I can always justify it! This year, Alan surprised me by taking be to Providence Inn in Logan, UT. It is a great bread and breakfast. We left Sunday afternoon and came home Wednesday afternoon. We had a great relaxing time. We got plenty of rest, saw a couple of movies (that are not kids movies!), ate at restaurants (again not kid restaurants), saw a local baseball game, walked, talked and shopped. We had a great time. It was bitter sweet having to come home. We missed our kids but having to go back to work, cleaning, cooking, etc was not so good. Now our minds shift to getting ready for me to go back to teaching and classes for my masters, Reagan starting 1st grade, the girls playing soccer and dancing, Alan traveling for work and our babies growing up. We have a lot to be grateful for and look forward to. Thanks for a wonderful seven years Alan... I love you!

We didn't take many pictures, but those I did take Alan is either making a weird face or putting something in his mouth!


We stayed in the Bridal Suit. It was a nice room but we new why it was the bridal suit.


Sunday night there wasn't much open so we went to a local dinner called Angie's. It was really good food. It reminded me of O'Brady's in Idaho Falls. There was a triple double cheese burger on the menu. The minute Alan saw it he new he had to try and conquer it! He could barely get his mouth around it!


Monday we tried a restaurant called Cafe Sabor. I had no idea what kind of food it would serve. It ended up to be Mexican which was great for me. Alan told me he figured it was mexican based on the name... he could have let me in on that one! The restaurant is in an old train station. They have done a really good job of preserving the atmosphere... very neat.


This is the only picture that Alan isn't doing something weird, but I'm the one holding the camera and I am way closer than him.... oh well!
