4th of July Weekend

We had a roller coaster ride the last week of June. We were FINALLY able to sign on our house, and move in. My parent's were kind enough to come and help us out (Thank you, Thank you!!!) We moved in on Friday, June 25, and on Sunday (June 27) the boys and I flew to Utah. It was CrAzY! But we survived! We spent the first part of the week enjoying time with family, doing a baby shower for Kathryn, and Girl's Night Out (which I already posted about!). Oh and the boys had their first sleep over (without Mom or Dad) at Grandma and Grandpa Roylance's. They had so much fun!

On Thursday, July 1st, the boys and I drove with Mom & Dad to Idaho Falls. We made lots of stops on the way, including: IHOP in North Salt Lake, Smith & Edward's, Lunch in Malad, and swimming at Soda Springs. I of course, did not take a SINGLE picture that day. Phil joined us late Thursday night, and our family trip began Friday morning. We first enjoyed the falls (in IF), and then we made our way to Bear World. It was so fun for the boys to experience it with their cousins! They were loving the petting zoo part! They also went on the rides, but they didn't enjoy them as much. (I know, my kids are funny.)

After Bear World, we made a quick stop in Rexburg for lunch, and some grocery shopping before heading up to the cabin we had rented in Island Park. It was in a pretty area, and I loved that all 24 of us were able to fit!

On Friday morning, we took family pictures. We did a Mott family picture, and then each individual family. The boys did pretty well, until it was our family's turn, and then they were HORRIBLE (hence the stupid sticks in the picture). I'm still waiting for a copy of the family picture (hint, hint) so I can post that! Thanks for the cute shirts and jackets Mom!

That afternoon, we went rafting down the river. I didn't take any pictures of that, but I wish I would have, because it was BEAUTIFUL! I was a bit ornery on the trip (Sorry Family), but I blame it on Teegan being horrible, because of lack of sleep and Coleman getting sick.
Even with Coleman not feeling well, we decided to still go and enjoy Yellowstone with the family. We hit up the regular spots, and Coleman was a real trooper through it all. Even during the hour and a half that we sat in ONE SPOT due to an accident that occurred (not serious). Yikes! After that, we couldn't get out of the park fast enough!

On Monday morning, we packed up and left the cabin. On our way home, we stopped at Mesa Falls to enjoy the sights. Phil and I hadn't been there in so long. It brought back some great college memories! We also did a quick lunch with Natalie, Jacob and Preston. Thanks guys for seeing us on such short notice!
