Visit to Great Grandma Edwards

 

Last Sunday we went and visited Kyle's Grandma. I thought this picture was so cute!!

Happy Fathers Day Kyle !!

 

For Fathers Day this year I decided to take pictures of the girls and give them to Kyle in a frame for his desk at work.
This is just a few pictures from our photo shoot in the back Yard. Lydia was giving me the most trouble I would say 123 cheese and evaryone else would say it and look at me and Lydia would say it and be looking at the trees. I am not the photographer in the family so please forgive me, since most of them are not that good.

Watermelon Fun!!

 

The other day we were at the store and decided that we had to have these cute little watermelons. We thought it would be neat if we each had a half. So this is our adventures of watermelon eating to kick off our summer. If you can tell it was actually kind of cold out so they are all freezing.

Passports or Bust

We will be going on a trip to Canada in August and since we now have to have a passport to go there. We decided to go and get the kids the passport cards. They are cheaper and only last 5 years. The regular passport only lasts 5 years for kids too. We are not planning on going on any international flights. The passport cards are only good for land and sea not for flying. So today I made a trip to get Lilly's birth certificate and then we all made a trip down to the court house. We had to have all the kids with us and Kyle had to be there also. It took about and hour and half. (It would of been shorter if I would of filled out paper work ahead of time)We had passport pictures taken about a year ago. Lydia's didn't look the same and well Lilly is so little. They took new pictures of both of them. They turned out pretty cute. They told me it will take 4-6 weeks to receive them hopefully before we have to go. So look forward to our summer vacation trip in August.

 

Idaho 2

We went and visited my Little Sis Alisa and here are some pictures Carlee took of her cheerleading.

Family Pictures

I was going through some pictures of our family and thought you might like to see the Hoisington Family through the years. This is all I could find. The only recent picture we have is from Lilly's Blessing. We will work on a new family picture soon.
Look how thin we were when we were engaged.

Idaho fun!

I went with my Mom, my sister Carlee her son Blake and Lydia and Lilly to visit my little sister Alisa at college and my Brother Jared and his family last week.
We went for Mothers weekend at BYU I.

The drive was something the first day it took us 12 hours just to get to Boise. We ended up stopping alot to feed dear little Lilly. Every time we would stop it would end up being at least 40min. We stayed in a hotel in Boise. The next day was a little better but the 2 kiddies in the back seat were a little more restless. We made it in to Rigby in a reasonable time frame. We then picked up my little sister Alisa and she came and stayed with us at Jared's house. We just hung out and visited.

On Friday we all went up to Rexburg to bring Alisa back for her classes. We went to the BYU bookstore were they were having some specials because of the weekend. The only problem was chasing 3 toddlers around the store. I don't know how people do it with multiples(twins,triplets etc.). Next time I am bringing my double stroller. We went to Gandolfo's the restaurant that my brother and his in laws own and run. It has the best sandwiches. The salads were wonderful. So if you live in Idaho you need to go and eat there. There Gandolfos restaurant is in Idaho Falls. That night we went to a basketball game where we watched my cute little sister Cheer at the game. She was so cute and they did a great job. Lydia was copying all of their moves doing spirit fingers and everything. I might have some cheerleaders in the future. During one point she was able to come up to the stands and talk with us. The kids were so excited! When she had to go back and cheer, they all started crying Alisa. They were just a little tired.

I am so proud of my little sister she is such a great example for my girls. She is always trying to do what is right. She is having a wonderful time at college. Alisa you are the best!!!!!

Saturday my Mom and Carlee went to a Mom's breakfast with Alisa. While I hung out with Ali at the house with all the kiddos. Later Carlee and Jared's friend from High School came over for a visit. She lives in Rexburg too. It was so nice to visit with her and her two little girls. We then went to Sonic for dinner(I love their slushies).

Sunday we went to church in Jared's Ward. I have never been to a ward with so many members. There is 4 wards in this building right now. There was so many people that it was hard to move around. The nursing lounge had 4 women in it. Do the builders of the church buildings get that there is usually more then one baby born at a time in most wards. Please make the rooms bigger for more then 2 people. The meeting was so nice. We then stopped by Nicole's house for a short visit. My Mom picked up Alisa and we all hung out at Jared's. We had a wonderful dinner we all pitched in with a roast we put in the crock pot. It was very good. It was a wonderful trip. I can't wait to go back with all of my family!!!

Jared and Ali we love you thanks for putting up with all of us.

Alisa we love you too.

Happy Birthday

 

Zion's Camp Memorial Weekend Fun

We decided to go to Zion's camp again this time for Memorial weekend. It all started that we were going and we invited Tj's boys to play with our girls. We invited grandma and then Rex and Nene came with their boys and camped. Emily Steve and Simon came.Danielle brought the boys up and Kyla for a few hours. Mike and Mo and their kiddies came on Saturday and camped too. We all had a fantastic time visiting and just hanging out.

We had tons of fun at the lake, making smores and just plain playing. The kids tried archery and liked it. It was really fun. We went to Church with aunt Nene! It was so nice to relax and play.

Science Project

 

 

This was our first year to do a Science Project. Gabby decided she wanted to see which juices cleaned pennies the best. We had all sorts of Juices: Pineapple, orange, coke, apple, cranberry, pickle juice, vinegar,grape, water, soapy water. We decided that baby food jars would work best. So my grandma took Gabby to the store and they bought baby food. It was mostly applesauce and the kids loved eating it. She then put the juices in and soaked pennies for a few days.

The results were that pineapple juice cleaned the pennies the best.

Happy 3rd Birthday Lydia

I can't beleive that you are 3 and not a baby anymore. We love you Lydia.
