Our Idaho Summer

4 generations of Chappells

We were able to make it to the Chappell Reunion this year. We also got an updated 4 generation photo.

We love the 4th of July!

New wheels

Blake has been wanting a truck for a long time and once his lease was up on the car started looking. I'm the one who has been dragging my feet about it for so long (and with good reason). Anyway, I guess you can tell what happened and here is his new set of wheels. Not quit what either of us wanted.

Fathers Day

Okay, so I know I'm far behind but I haven't had the chance to post anything. So I'm attempting to catch up on our summer and get started on the fall. I had to put these cute little guys up. Kierstyn and Ben made them for Blake at a primary activity for father's day. Ben's has one spot of gray hair and he was so excited to show Blake he'd given him a gray spot. Well if you know Blake he doesn't have gray hair at all so I was laughing at this. Blake, didn't think it was that funny, but he laughed too!

Celebrating our anniversary and fathers day!

This year for our anniversary I told Blake I would like to go to a show up on the strip. He said, really, I'd rather go to San Diego. So we did. We took the kids and had a great weekend in San Diego.

The kids favorite thing-smashed pennies!

Moving up!

Kierstyn made it through Kindergarten and is on her way to 1st grade!! Her class had a moving up ceremony and the whole class sang a song to Start Spreading the News. . . It was really cute but I didn't get it all on video. She was so ready to be done with school and is really looking forward to a long summer vacation. She had a great year at Silver Sands and we have been very happy with the decision to go there. Next year she's going to the new elementary school just across the street and we're hoping that decision works out just as well.



Congratulations Kierstyn and enjoy the summer!!!
