Welp, this is the 3rd {and final, YAY!!} summer we've spent here in Rawlins. There's not much to do around here, and with neverending on-call weekends we were hardly able to leave - but as always we tried to make the best of it. We were able to sneak away to SLC in June for a few days with friends, a couple camping trips in our new {to us} camper here and there, Kasey and I had our first night in a hotel room sans the kiddos since I was prego with Mikenna {Almost 9 years ago!! Kasey had to stay the night in Casper for business, so the girls and I met him down there and they stayed with my mom while we went out for dinner and a movie. It was nice to get away for a night, just the two of us.} We celebrated our wedding anniversary and...
Mikenna Turned 8!:
She picked a restaurant called Su Casa {one of her two options, and I'm only semi-kidding. Ha!} for lunch.
She was a wee-bit embarrassed by the sombrero and the entire restaurant singing her happy birthday. Don't let her flush cheeks fool you, you know she loved every second ;)
Then we had her best friend Elena and her family over for cupcakes.
Parade Day:
Miss Isla...
Adiee bringing daddy her candy she gathered :)
Mikenna waving at the girl riding a horse wearing a crown. Two of her favorite things right there :)
Camping Trip at Pathfinder:
First breakfast in the camper... Yummy oatmeal.
Isla and Mom drying out :)
Isla lost her fingernail:
Kasey took the girls rock climbing so I could have the house to myself for a few hours. I guess while the older girls were climbing, Isla picked up a large rock and Kasey says, "Isla, put that rock down before you drop it and hurt yourself." about 3 times before she dropped it and hurt herself... She came home with a very bruised fingernail. About 2 weeks later, I had her in the bathtub and she started crying. Her nail was coming off! I've never had that happen before so I wasn't sure what to do. I called Kasey's mom and she told me to trim it all away... Ick! But I did and it's already grown back.
Kasey built his girls a doll house:
Yup! He is a stud.

Almost finished! We just need to paint, shingle, carpet, put windows in, and trim it out. But in the mean time, they love it! Lucky little girls!
School Shopping:
All their loot.

Had to throw one of the "baby" out there :) Isn't she a cutie pie?!
Labor Day:
Labor Day weekend we spent 5 days at the Bear Lake KOA in Garden City, UT. Let me just say that it was the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. It's often referred to the "Caribbean of the Rockies", the water is a gorgeous turquoise blue and we went to the north shore beach where you could literally walk out 200 feet and the water still only be waist deep. We drove the Yukon on the sandy beach right up to the water, it was a nice warm temperature, and it was littered with seashells. It was an amazing time spent with Kasey's mom, Kirby & Deena, and Kyle, Windy, and their kids.
Mikenna LOVES that kayak!
Hunting for seashells.
Wowsa! Great picture of baby Isla!!
That's how we "roll", haha ;)
The Cousins {well, the ones that went}
Our sweet and sassy girlies!
