circus time!




Ok so Juanita gave us free tickets to the circus yesterday and we all went even took my niece Paige with us. It was very cold here yesterday so I am glad I made sure everyone was in pants and took jackets because they didnt have a big top (the tent) I was so sad! It is not truly a circus without the big top! We had fun though even in the cold and the rain; it was at the Idaho Falls fair grounds and they did have sheltered seats but Trevor was too cold to watch the circus. He would pop his head out of the blanket every few minutes to see what was going on but he did not want to stay there too long. He is sooooo much my child that it makes me laugh to think what a brat I must have been for my parents. The circus shut down at intermission but we then headed over to the Army Surplus store; I know right! lol! Travis had never been in there and wanted to wander around there a bit. It is a great place to get everything from clothes to emergency candles to rainsuits and boots and socks and well you get the idea! We got to eat at Frontier Pies and the kids loved it; they have a "covered wagon top" over the table so it feels like you are eating in an old wagon, well minus the dirt, insects and bumps (ok too much today but still funny). We bought a strawberry bannana pie and took it home with us (T.J. was happy when we shared with him today). We also went back up today to get Travis a father's day gift from there. I always get lots of interesting ideas from that store. Thanks for the adventure! Later, Amy

Grandpa and Grandma Brownlee




We all went to the cemetery in Wendell, Idaho
It was so great to go to Wendell for Kristie's wedding because it gave us all an excuse to get together again. Travis spent many of his summer's here with his Grandpa Jones and tells great stories about milking cows and watching movies and well I can't decribe it all. Lol! Travis is very proud of his Grandpa and it was nice to see a part of all of these wonderful people's past. Also on the way home we went to Albion, Idaho and seen his Grandma's old house and ate lunch there. Thank you for the memories and sharing with us! Later, Amy

Ok so none of these have been edited but I thought I should post them here since she was married on May 22nd, sorry it has taken me so long but here are some of the pics I took while there. It was so wonderful to see family and be able to visit we had a lot of fun and are glad we were able to attend. We were so happy Laurie was able to make it down as well as Aunt Barbara and everyone else we seen while there. Later, Amy


Bridal Shower!


Ok so I really late posting these but I had my sister's bridal shower for her on May 30, 2010 to celebrate her upcoming marriage on June 25, 2010. We had so much fun and it was even better because I got to go wild! I did a pink and zebra print (or black and white) theme which made shopping for decorations lots of fun for me. She went to the hot pools in Lava Hot Springs and then we had soup and and really great fruit tray for dinner then lots of games, including pin the dress on the bride and "know" your bride. Thanks for a fun party gals! Later, Amy
