Summer Fun in Pictures!

This is the one thing that I get to do during the summer....get my hair done. My other half's mom is a hairdresser so I get to go and pick out a color or style and then she makes it happen. For the summer I went a bit blonde with some highlights. We always have to go see her at the beginning of the summer and end of the summer to get our fresh new haircuts for school. We will see what color I get this next time!

I'm sure most of you who have kids will understand this, traveling in the car with animals or kids. It is imperative to be flexible and have space for each of them. Well, this last trip to Idaho we were taking along the niece who is way taller than me, our two dogs, all our stuff for a week in Idaho and camping. Therefore, our Jeep was packed!

We had a 9 hour drive and the teenager with the dogs got a break part way through....so my short legs moved to the back. What a different view! It was funny to see how the dogs tried to find their own space and one of Murphy's favorite places was on my lap....well the both wanted to be on my lap even if it was just their head. On the way home Murphy

discovered that she could climb into the back and sleep on top of all our bags. So cute if I do say so myself.

Camping in Wallace!

So while in Idaho we went camping in Wallace, Idaho. It was a very different experience for us, we had the dogs with us

and we spent most of our days out riding on the 4 wheeler. We went with our family and some new friends, and had a blast. I do have to say that I'm not looking forward to spending that much time on the back of a 4 wheeler for along time....my back was very angry with me for that!

This was a house project that has been on our list since we moved in, but we just couldn't decide what we wanted to do. We ripped out the carpet and then had to try and get all the stuff underneath removed. Then the other half put down this awesome laminate that looks like tile. I love it! The "downstairs" actually feels like a room in our house now and it looks like it has a style rather than the first place we come in and drop our stuff.

What now? Well, school starts in a few weeks so we will be off to Idaho to get our hair done and to celebrate a big birthday! I'll add some pictures of our other camping trip later.

Thanks for coming back and I'll try and post more often....I'll try:)
