Bear lake and such

It gets harder to blog in the summer months, mostly because things are so crazy busy!

These roses are from our yard...I don't like roses as a general rule. These were so beautiful though! And what I loved most is that Nathan went out and picked them:)

Nathan and I just this past weekend decide to ditch our usual routine, and head up to Bear Lake for the 4th of July. His Aunt Melanie owns a cabin that she is always so gracious to share, so we happily took her up on the invite! It was honestly just what we needed. I needed a break from cleaning and total craziness that seems to fill my days lately, Nathan needed a break from working SOO much, and the girls just needed some fun, and new faces to look at instead of seeing mine ALL the time :).
The water levels are finally up, so instead of having to hike a half mile to the beach, all we had to do was literally walk out the front door and you were no longer on dry land! Really awesome! especially when you forget your sunglasses, or the book you wanted to read. Anyway speaking of books....Oh Sunday was just the best honestly! After we put the girls down to sleep in the way too fun bunk-room (meaning they stayed up playing when they were suppose to be sleeping) I took a book and headed outside. I then grabbed one of the chairs and put it right on the shoreline so the water could come up and splash my feet, and I sat there for several hours reading and relaxing. The sunset was the cherry on top, absolutely beautiful!  Then Makenna and I played bad-mitten on the beach until the sun finally set, and the mosquitoes were out in full force! It was a really nice weekend spent hanging out with family, and eating yummy food:). Nathans uncle Carlos made these pork steaks that were pretty much out of this world! HOLY COW! Or pig I should say ha ha! OK that was lame sorry.

I only caught a few pics from the weekend, because I was too busy relaxing. I did however get a few pics of the girls bedroom. We got them a new bunk bed that they are pretty much in love with! BY the way the picture of Rachel with the GINORMOUS bow on her head, was all her doing. I promise I didn't send her to church in it :).
