~ 4tH oF JuLy aT bEaR LaKe ~

For the 4th of July, Caleb and I went to the cabin with my parents. We had a great time. Here are some pictures of the fun!

My Grandpa Lane and Grandma Dixie invited us to go to the 4th of July program at the tabernacle in Paris, Idaho with them.

They sang a bunch of songs about America and at the end had a tribute to the armed forces. The only picture that turned out from inside the tabernacle was this picture of a Marine holding the Marine flag. Caleb says it's just proof that Marines are clearly the toughest...

Then we all went outside for the Paris parade.

My favorite part was this little minature pony. He was awesome, as you can see...

Caleb's favorite part was the Farmall Super C. We were a little disappointed that there was only one old tractor in the parade, but it was a cute little tractor.

I've been to quite a few small town parades, but I can honestly say I've never been to one so small that they turn around and go up the other side of the street when they get to the end of town. I guess we can be certain we didn't miss out on anything and we got to see all the fantasic parade entries TWICE, wow are we lucky or what? It was nice to be outside and get a few pieces of candy though...

We had dinner with everyone that night and enjoyed a beautiful sunset.

Just another great weekend at the lake... :)

My parents and I had the chance to go to one of Hayden's baseball games. He is in coach pitch and the game was about a hour long. We enjoyed seeing him, he sure is a cute kid!

This year our nephew Scotty turned 5 years old.

His birthday is on the 4th of July, so the Fishnick's decided to celebrate a few days early this year since Caleb and I would be out of town. We had dinner and cake and then went to a splash pad and park so the kids could play.

I have found that being Aunt Andrea gets me involved in a lot of activities that I'm not very fond of, for example, playing on splash pads, but I've also found that being Aunt Andrea makes it very difficult to say no. So, I ran through freezing cold water for a few hours for the sake of fun. I would also like to point out that the only adult in these pictures is me, and that is not because there are no pictures of anyone else, it is because no one else would play. Yes, it's rough being me, and yes I'm pretty much the best aunty in the world, well, besides my aunties of course... :)

As usual, I'm behind, but I guess better late than never...

For Father's Day this year, Caleb and I took his dad shooting.

This last picture is my favorite. Even a tough guy like Tim loves my pink gun! ;)

~ Stuie's Baseball Game ~

My parents and I got the chance to go watch Stuie play baseball.

Here are a few pictures from the night...

We also got to visit with Hayden. He helped take a bunch of pictures for me, thanks Hayden!

My daddy and mom enjoying the game...

All in all, we had a great time. Their team won and are now heading to the playoffs. Great job Stu!

Caleb and I spent Memorial Day weekend here...

My parent's cabin at beautiful Bear Lake.

We did stuff like this...

Enjoyed spending time with each other...

Ate chocolate covered raspberries...

Had fabulous shakes from Le Beau's...

Took relaxing baths...

Got chased by this unknown, very creepy looking bird (look at it's talons, I think it could do some serious damage) on our 4-wheeler...

We also spent lots of time shopping (but not really buying anything), investing in our retirement fund (playing the lottery), walking (panting up and down increadibly steep hills)and relaxing (we really did relax and it was fabulous!) My mom came up on Sunday, and we enjoyed spending a couple of days with her.  

On our way home we spotted this sign in Woodruff... I was all down for attenting, however it was over (much to Caleb's relief). Maybe next year... ;)

Last weekend (May 23rd), was Caleb's 25th birthday.

He decided he wanted to go shooting to celebrate.

He's a cheap date, what can I say?

Anyway, here are some pictures from our day!

Before we left the house...

Balloons are my target of choice...

Yes, I have a pink gun, and yes it is awesome...

It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun. Caleb got a new pair of Leupolod binoculars for his birthday, but I didn't get a picture of him with them. He sure does love them though.

Happy Birthday Caleb! :)
