We had such a fun time on our Memmott family trip to Flaming Gorge. It is beautiful there, lots of trees and wildlife. The water was a bit cold but the kids didn't mind. We stayed in these great condo's with kitchens and all, floated the river with rafts, went fishing, toured the dam, which was very interesting, and enjoyed each others company, the best part!
Thank you for a great trip, we had a lot of fun!

Our HERO'S!

Wanting to wish our Dad's a Happy Father's Day! This handsome man is my grandpa on my dad's side. (our idaho grandpa)
He has the biggest heart, a very hard worker, a tough side (he thinks) but definatly a tender heart (where I get my boobing from). This is also where my OCD for cleaning came about. This guy is very tidy and fortunatly for me (not) passed it along to my dad and then to me! What stories he has to tell, about his parents and his childhood, memories I will always remember. He is always teasing that tommarow will be his last day, so to that we are greatful to be apart of his last days, living here in Twin.
This is one of my favorite photo's, my dad sent this to me when he was in China just to say I love you in an email. I am so greatful I got the dad I got. He has been such a strong example in my life. Has taught me the importance of service and having a strong testimony of the gospel. Has never given up on his faith, even when times were tough, and to that I am most greatful. He has always been a very hard worker and has always been there for his kids. We have always know how much our dad loves us. I hope you have a wonderful day, I hope you know how special you are to our family and we can't wait to see in three weeks! It's been a long year.

This is Shane and his dad during one of their million hunting adventures. Their bond has grown through their love of hunting. I love Paul to death, we also share a common bond, tidiness!
He is a neat and organized guy and I love that about him. I tease him by calling him Marla (his sister, she paints her home and garage floor every three months) and he calls me Martha (Martha Stewart I guess ha, ha). He is always great with the kids and is a very proud grandpa of thirteen grandchildren.two serving missions! We hope you know Pa, how special you are to our family and wish we could be with you on Father's Day. Sending you lots of hugs and kisses.

Memmott News:

Nathan, Shane's second oldest nephew received his mission call this week and has been called to the beautiful island of Honolulu Hawaii. Nathan is such an awesome young man, a great example to all the cousins and very fun to be around! We will miss him a ton but can't wait to hear about all the adventures of Hawaii. If you need someone to come and pick you up in two years, Shane and I will definatly be available. Congratulations Bud, we are very proud of you and know you will Serve WELL!

Rykers Fishin' Hat...

I bought this hat at Old Navy for Ryker to wear on our family trip to Flaming Gorge in a couple weeks. It didn't remind me of a fishing hat, but it would cover his ears and face so I decided to get it. I brought it home and gave it to him, put the rest of the things away and started getting dinner ready and here he comes upstairs with his hat decorated with fishing flies! All randomly placed but he said those were his favorites. An $8.00 hat with $40.00 worth of flies; He won't go anywhere with out it. People stop us wherever we go and tell him how cool it is. He just smiles a big grin and says "see mom". He is all BOY! (Needless to say the flies are there to stay, once they are in, they won't back out)





Fairy Hunters...

Hallie eats, sleeps, and breathes fairies. We found this cool fairy book at Costco that tells how to find a fairy. I found them outside this morning looking around the yard for fairies. Ryker has a sling shot in his backpack, and Hallie has her book, a magnifying glass, and a flashlight in search of a fairy! If you see any fluttering around your neck of the woods be sure to let us know. Hallie and her Bible (how to find a fairy book)
Great Fairy Hunters...

Maybe in the bleeding heart bush?


Best friends!

Six Month Milestones...

It's hard to believe six months ago today we brought home our little bundle of joy! How he has changed our family's life...weighing only six pounds, we thought that was soooo tiny and instantly he grew to a whopping eighteen pounds, so happy to be around brother and sister, is now liking rice cereal, still getting up four to five times a night, is sitting up on his own almost (leans forward because of that belly), rolling himself over almost (that belly gets in the way), everything that touches his hands goes straight to the mouth, grows rolls by the day, hearing toots when his belly is squeezed, laughing outloud, loves bathes (except soap in his eyes...thanks Ryker), loves being naked, and my most favorite...this little guy has dark BROWN eyes like his mama! Sorry so many things, but if I don't write them down I will forget the things we love at six months! Likes the bumbo seat for three and a half minutes, before it cuts off circulation to his thighs
Enjoying his only solid so far...rice cereal
