July 2, 2025
Trey and his girlfriend Cynthia flew in from Idaho to spend the 4th with us.  We did lots of boating and a little sight seeing. 
Josh taught Cynthia to surf
Kaleb was the first to get up on the foil board and actually ride it! 
Jack and Trey 
Mr. cool! 
Tyson, Carrie, Taylee, and Tripp flew in on July 5th and was able to hang out with Trey and Cynthia for 2 days before they had to leave.  They stayed with us for 10 days.  We've wanted them to come visit for years and we had the best time!
The kids started the visit with driveway fireworks! 
A trip to the Temple
We hate going into DC but when we picked Trey and Cynthia up it was 7pm and since they were only going to be here a few days we thought we would just drive by some of the main spots. When we got down there it was empty and there was parking everywhere so we decided to try that again with Tyson, Carrie, and the kids.  It worked out and we enjoyed walking around sight seeing! 
If course Kaleb brought his scooter! 
Of course we did A Lot of boating! 
Jack and Taylee
They double surfed!
Tripp learned to surf
Some dirt biking! 
Uncle Josh giving Tripp some words of wisdom.

July 24-28
This year for our girls trip we went to Annie's new house.  I flew to Boston and she picked me up and we headed to Nottingham NH for a relaxing weekend! 
I thought this was cool.  I had been flying over the ocean for over an hour and saw this in the middle of nowhere. 
I got to Annie's a day before Kristin and Sam but the first thing we did was go out for a wild night on the town.  😂
Saturday we went to the coast. The water was freezing but it was beautiful! 
On the way home we stopped at this cute place on the water for dinner. 
The rest of the time we relaxed and watched trashy TV and sit on the porch and chatted. It was a perfect weekend!

Happy 7th Birthday to Barrett! I never dreamed I would have a dog but I'm so glad we have him! 
August 2025
Summer flew by but we tried to enjoy every last drop! The boys found this boat in the weeds behind the marina years ago and no one had ever done anything with it so the boys decided to try and repair it and add a deck for fishing. 
They did take precautions in case it didn't work.  Haha
Here we go! 
Kaleb decided, with the persuasion of mom and dad, to cut off his mullet before going to high school.  He wasn't happy at first. 
That night he caught the biggest fish he's ever caught! 
The last days of summer were filled with fishing, boating, and hanging out with friends! 
August 14th Jack had his first football scrimmage.  This was the first time we ever saw him in uniform practicing. He didn't get to play in the game because he had gotten a concussion the week before but it was still cool to see him practicing.  
August 18th First Day of School! I can't believe we have two high schoolers! 
Barrett is still nosy as ever 😂
September 
It seems now that the boys are back to school life is just busy busy.  Kaleb has been asking to go to Bass Pro for a while so I finally had time to take him in labor day.  I had gone off shopping and when I went back to find him he had his little basket.  I thought it was so cute! I love getting individual time with the boys! 
Happy 41st Birthday to the glue of our family!  He wasn't home this year but he was still celebrated!
Of course we celebrated him when he got home too 🙂
The rest of the month was filled with football and work
Jack #95 home jersey
Away jersey #52
When it's raining and you just straightened your hair that day, you find a way to keep it fresh! 
Josh was in Montana for work most of the month.  He called me one day and told me he had to meet with some Commanders and Generals so he had to dress up.  I was confused because I didn't think he took any suits. He sent me a picture of the 2 Star General giving him his coin.  🤣🤣

July 30 - Aug 5 Alturas Lake Idaho.

6 months ago Josh text his family and gave them dates that we would be camping in Idaho and 31 of them made it! Josh has always told me of all the places he traveled, Alturas Lake is his favorite! We spent 5 days in the mountains without cell service, electric, and water because the campground didn't have any open sites. I was nervous at first but once we got the bikes unloaded we were able to take them to the campground and use the bathroom and get water.  Aunt Carrie always makes sure to play games with Kaleb!  Grandpa Randy Jones Grandma Sandy Jones Jack and Zach  Trent had only been home 4 days from his mission in Canada before coming camping. ❤️ Trent and Saige  This was the first time we didn't have a boat with us so Josh spent the week trying to make friends with people hoping that he would get a tow. There were two families in particular tha...

4-1 The ski hill that Josh grew up going to is still open but only on weekends, so they hiked to the top of it and made their own jumps.  The boys were not impressed with the journey getting up there but had so much fun once the work was done!  4-4 Our nephew Zach works at a zoo in Twin Falls so we went and saw him.  This is the perfect job for him! He's so knowledgeable about all the animals and you can see how much he loves what he does. We enjoyed our visit.  4-5 I took the boys to a skate park in Burley today and Kaleb had a pretty bad crash and we ended up in Urgent Care.   Good thing he can still play his oculus while he's recovering! 😂😂 4-6 They went back to Pomerelle on Saturday to snowboard.  The boys were so excited that they got to ride the lifts this time.  Haha ...

I guess the fall is wedding season now because we had 2 in 2 weekends.  Josh and I were able to celebrate Roman and Teresa's wedding with them and a lot of our neighbors! The day was beautiful and we love their family so much!  Josh left the next day for Nevada for 6 weeks and missed Steph and Kenny's annual birthday party! I love that we celebrate the grown ups birthdays with the kids!  Our BMX team planned a day to go to a new skate park and when we got there there was an event going on that none of us knew about so it was so crowded.  Jack doesn't have a park bike so he brought a skateboard and I was so proud of him for just getting out there and trying even though there were so many people.  He really is growing up!  Then he took his mountain bike out there and had fun with the other kids on bikes Kaleb On Oct 21st we had t...
