Middleton Gold Vikes football and cheer

And that's a wrap! Cheer and football are done for the season. Bailey had her final performance last week, and yesterday was the end of the year party. All the boys went to the alley to play one last time, before it got too late. I'm excited to have my saturday mornings back and get to sleep in just a bit!

Subdivision Easter Egg Hunt

Had a great time today hunting for eggs. It was windy and chilly out, but the kids had a blast running around. Jackson and Maddie were pretty cold and as soon as they got their eggs, they wanted to go home.

Bailey's violin concert

Bailey joined the 4th grade orchestra at her school this year. Neither Trent or I play music, so she is doing this without any help from us. She has been working hard and did great on her spring concert

Too long

It has been a long time since I have posted, so I will catch up a bit. We had a great Halloween.  The kids went to the annual Harvest Party at the Star Barn. Then a few days later they went Trick or treating and had a blast. Maddie and Jackson loved going house to house asking for candy.



A couple days before Halloween, we went with Grandma and Grandpa to Walter's Ferry, a place where you take a mile walk and all along the way there are cool statues, signs and birdhouse. The twins had a blast running around in the fall air.

First day of School 2017

These two cuties started school today. Bailey is now in 4th grade and Nick is in 2nd. We had a fabulous summer with a trip to California and Universal Studios, a family reunion, an Eclipse, Roaring Springs and tons of fun playing with friends. Bailey was excited but nervous to start 4th grade. Nick really doesn't say much but has been acting up, so I'm sure he was nervous too.

We are excited to see what adventures this school year brings!

Happy 4th of July

We started out by attending the God and Country fireworks show in Nampa on the Wednesday before the 4th. We always enjoy hanging out with friends in the evening and waiting for the show to start. unfortunately this year, Nick lost his glasses that ended up costing us $230 for a new pair:( Still had fun that evening with the Belnaps and my parents. This was also the first time we took the twins to watch the fireworks and they loved it!

On the 4th we went to the Melba parade with my parents. Trent had to work in the morning, so we headed out without him. Luckily my mom likes parades also so we went with them then went to teh small carnival afterwards. We met Matt and Brandy there so the kids could hang out with their cousins also.

That evening we went to the Star firework show and it was one of the best we've seen. Great day all around!

Universal studios

Trent and I took Bailey and Nick to Universal Studios while my parents watched the twins at Grandma Parsons house. It was a nice break to get away for 2 days and be able to have a little fun with the older kids.

We got there just after the park opened and stayed until closing.

And a huge donut from Mo's in the Simpsons world.

Afterwards we spent the day relaxing and stopping along the coast as we headed back to grandmas.

trip to California

A few weeks ago, we were able to go as a family to California. We stayed with GRandma Parsons in Santa Margarita, went to Universal Studios for a few days and ended at a big cabin in Jackson for a family reunion. We were not sure how easy it would be traveling with 4 kids (and 2 year old twins) but we ended up having a blast. It would have been a little better if the twins didn't end up sick the whole time, but it was still fun.

Grandma Parsons and Dad's birthday on June 10th

The un-birthday Party that Aunt Pam threw for the kids. It was MIckey Mouse theme and so cute!

This was a super great start to the week. Next stop - Universal Studios with the 2 older kids!

All About Bailey

Today Bailey had her gymnastics recital. She is not very competitive, but it was really good for her to come out of her shell a little bit. Bailey is very shy and is always afraid to try new things. This year she is doing better and really beginning to blossom. She is doing well in school, loves to play with friends and now starting to enjoy gymnastics. I'm very proud of this girl!
