Summer Is Over Already?

I'm blogging later in the month than I normally do, but when I sat down at the beginning of the month I realized we hadn't really done anything blog worthy.  So I guess July was not very exciting here in little Pocatello! 

Amy and Matt and their 3 boys were here all summer, so we spent a lot of time with them which was awesome! It was fun for Bryker to be able to get to know their cute family.  One of his new favorite things to say is Maymee.  He loves his Aunt Amy.  And the rest of his Aunts too :) I don't want to get into any trouble here!

Joha, my new Venezuelan sister, and her daughter Nella came and spent a couple of weeks at the Thiemann's house too this summer.  It was so fun to have them here! Nella is the cutest! My one year of Spanish in high school didn't get me very far apparently because I couldn't understand her, haha, but her and Bryker got along so well! We were sad to see them go!

Well, with summer winding down quickly we decided we had better have some fun.  These last few weeks we managed to make 3 big trips and do a few other things along the way.  The mall here does a back to school fashion show or something and Bryker and I got roped into being in it.  It wasn't too bad.  I got my hair done and got to dress up and walk down a runway with my little man.

Grandpa Blanscett volunteers at a Dinosaur museum in Ogden, so the Blanscett clan piled into 2 vans made the trek down to see the dino's and Grandma and Grandpa!  I thought Bryker might be afraid of the big dinosaurs, but he totally loved them! We will have to go back!

This was the lab.  These Dinosaurs moved and made noises.  It was awesome!

Bryker and Grandpa Blanscett, not sure why Grandma wasn't in this!

Touching real dinosaur skin.  Bryker refused to touch it though!

5 of the boys! We missed Jordan and Emma!

We also stopped to Grandma and Grandpa Ferrin on our way home! It was good to see them!

Canoeing! This is the pond I had my bridal pictures taken on!

Bryker and Nella playing the piano...also got a bridal picture taken at this piano.  

Trip to the Tautphaus Park Zoo in Idaho Falls with the Thiemann's! 

This tiger was his favorite

Saying goodbye to Joha and Nella. We miss them!

Marcus has a training in Boise every year for work and this year I decided that we would go with him. Here are a few pictures from that trip!

Little aquarium in Boise. Bryker loves fish!

This bright yellow one seemed to be the one he like most

Shoshone Falls on the way home!

I know I always apologize for too many pictures, but this one takes the cake.  I had so many things to blog about today!  School has begun now so family time is hit and miss.  I am so glad we were able to do some fun things before we went back.  This is my last semester so between my classes and internship it's a little overwhelming.  Don't be surprised if I don't blog again for a while, but I will do my best to keep you all updated on our busy lives!
