Summer Fun! (Part One)

[My next few posts are going to be very lengthy. Just so you know.]

This summer has been one of the best, ever. Full of family, friends, and fun! It started off with Brittany graduating, she rocks. My mom and dad and little sister came up to Rexburg to celebrate the occasion, as well as Andrew's parents. Britt has all the pictures for that, I went to pull out my camera at her graduation and she goes, "No Markie, I'll just give you my pictures." So naturally, I still don't have them. Love you Britt haha. However, I did get a bunch of pictures of everything else.

We want on a walk, and Miss Ellie fell right asleep.

Ellie, Stevie, and me and Britt's apartment.

Later on we went to dinner at Craigo's. Possibly one of my most favorite restaurants ever.

Ellie didn't get any pizza, only pureed squash.



Andrew and Stevie

Ellie, myself, and my mom.

And after that, it was swim time!
We've discovered that Ellie loves the water, especially with an indoor pool.




This picture was taken later in my parents hotel, I just think she's adorable with that smile. She always opens her mouth so big!


On Sunday we went to church and then Andrew cooked us an amazing dinner (like always).


She was sooo tired after church. Look at that face! Haha.

My parents left early Monday morning and left Stevie with us for a couple weeks. I was lovin' it because she is so so helpful. When we were kids I used to boss her around, I guess I still have that talent. But seriously, I love that girl. She stayed with me for a week, went to EFY for a week at BYU-Idaho, and then stayed with Britt and Andrew the rest of the time.

Here's a few things that we did with Steverino (I don't know where the nickname came from...)

We walked to Porter Park...

...and enjoyed their cute little free splash park.


Britt and Stevie took Ellie to the water. Unfortunately, it was pretty darn cold.


She loves stroller rides.

Then afterward we walked and got some snowcones. Delish.


We also went to Rexburg Rapids a few days later. We had to get in everything Rexburg has to offer within a couple weeks. I think Stevie is sold to come here.

She loves it.




We also went to St. Anthony Sandbar, but I forgot my camera. It was a bust anyway because it started to rain, lame!

Saturday evening, Stevie, Ellie and I went to Nashville Tribute. Tristan and I go every time they come to Rexburg (this would be the third time since we've been married). But Tristan had to work. It was Stevie's first time, and she loved them.

I think Ellie loved them too.

Sunday night, we went to dinner with some friends and said good by to our awesome friends, Kyle and Sharon who moved to Utah. Good luck to them and their future! We'll definitely miss them a ton.

We love you Stevie, thanks for the awesome time!

Silly girl.



And if you didn't know, Ellie can crawl. :) Like a crazy person actually.
My memory card was full, that's why the video was cut so short.


Most Summer Fun posts to come!
