Idaho

It was really neat to see the Twin Falls Temple. This is a picture of the back of the temple. JT and Brevin loved the ATV's. Brevin did flip his over to the side one time and scraped his side up, then Clint had JT on the big one and they dropped off a jump and landed pretty hard. Good thing JT had his helmet on because he hit his head pretty hard on the handle bars.
My dad gave JT and Brevin a quick lesson on skeet shooting. After firing the shotgun the first time, JT went back to the ATV's and Brevin held it under his arm. Here he's shooting with his Uncle Justin.
Zack got up! Second time we went, he wouldn't stand up, he just sat on his skiis, it was really funny!

After our time at Bear Lake, we drove to Gooding to spend time with my family. We had so much fun. We were all together for the first time since Duke and Morghan's wedding. Just like Bear Lake, the boys had a great time. They got to golf, water ski, tubing, ATV's, skeet shooting, ping pong, temple, horses, and food. There was never a dole moment, the kids slept great every night. Dad and Mom have been helping with the opening of the Twin Falls Temple, so we got to spend some time on the temple grounds with them while they fulfilled some of their responsibilities. The boys even got to help put up a tent for the open house. My dad was able to take Clint and I on a private tour of the temple on one of the days. It was so amazing and we look forward to our next trip so we can go inside again. We went boating a couple days. All the boys tried water skiing. JT and Zack each got up, not for a long time, but they were up. Brevin tried and was soooo close, but didn't quit make it. Zacks favorite was the tubing. He could not get enough of it. He wanted to go faster and have lots of bumps. One time he just about bounce right out, he just laughed and told my dad to go faster. They all loved the ATV's despite the few crashes Brevin and JT had. Thanks Mom and Dad for planning such a great family reunion.

Bear Lake

Zack had a really great time with cousin John at the beach one day. Zack has really been missing his cousins since we've been home. We played many rounds of mini golf. Zack got 6 hole-in-1's in one rounds!!!
Cousins having fun together at the pool. Brevin loved hanging with the older cousins.


We went on our annual trip to Bear Lake with Clint's family. Grandpa and Grandma Hanks(Clint's mom's parents) rent condo's at Bear Lake every year for all their family members that can come. We look forward to it all year and can't stop thinking about it until we're there, then when we leave we start thinking about the next year. There was about 50-60 family member there during the week. The boys get to go swimming at the pools, play at the beach, boating with Uncle Jason and Aunt Jamie, golfing, mini golf, volleyball, baseball, tennis, and food. I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but you get the idea. The boys had so much fun with all the cousins. I felt like the only time I saw the boys was when it was time to eat. We had so much fun. Thank you to Grandpa and Grandma for making it happen!
