Hanging out

We really spent just about every evening with Darin's sister Kathie and her family while they were here.  Here are just some of my favorite pictures from our night at the park and our adventures at the county fair!

American West heritage center

We were able to spend an afternoon at the american west heritage center with the Nichloson clan and Oma.  We had fun learning all about life back in the old days!  The kiddos had a great time.  Here are just a few pictures from our fun day!

My kids are lucky enough to have the worlds funnest dad!  I have been in the Young Women's the past three years and on many occasions Darin has been left alone with the kiddo's.  I got to go to girls camp this summer, and when I came home I found these great shots.  I think they were well taken care of!

Nothing like a summer evening getting wet!

Nicholson's

Darin's sister and her cute family came to visit this summer from New Zealand.  My older boys were especially excited to see them and even told all of their friends they couldn't play for the three weeks that they would be here.  They were pretty accurate in that assumption...we spent just about every waking minute with them that we could.  Here are just a few of the many pictures we took with them!

We had them over one evening to celebrate Matt and Tom's birthday's since they would be back home in Sept.  And no birthday party is complete in the Chase family without a pinata!

Darin took the older two and went camping to Tony Grove with the Nicholson's.  They had a great time and it looks so beautiful up there this summer!

So much fun.  We miss them already!
