We had a nice relaxing weekend at my sis in laws family's cabin. I was great. My brother Nate made a big water slide for the kids to play on and it was a bit bumpy from what Marley said, but they liked it a lot.

Marley's First Day of School

On the 21st Marley started 2nd grade. She is in Mrs. Melines class. She loves her teacher, and has a lot of her friends in her class. She is so excited and ready to learn more. She is going to have a great school year.

Willow Flats

All of the Briscoe's went camping to Willow Flats last weekend. It was great. It was dirty. It was so fun. We all had our trailers and had a huge group site that fit us all. Everyone else brought their 4 wheelers and motor bikes, and it was a crazy dust cloud most of the day with the kids riding them. Boden was in heaven riding the mini 4 wheeler with Dylan. Marley was oh so happy with her cousins, and Piper was happy with any snack that she got. We loved the action filled weekend and can't wait to do it again.

Downetta Hot Springs

We went to Downetta camping and to the pool for a couple of days. We went with Cory's sister Angela and her kids. We went on a Monday and came home on Tuesday night. I was so nice. We just about had the place to ourselves. We all loved the pool. It was so fun to watch Marley swim and to see how good of a swimmer she is. She was very brave. She went down the dragon water slide six times and was so proud of herself. Boden and Piper loved the little kid slide and we could hardly keep them off it.

Marley Finally Lost Her Top Teeth.

I have been dreading the moment when Marley looses her baby teeth and the big giganto teeth start to come in. It will be such an awkward time, especially since she has a tiny mouth, and will most definately need braces. Today, she finally pulled these teeth out. For the past two months, her teeth have been loose and turning a nice shade of gray because they were totally ready to come out. Yeah, I am happy they are out, but not ready for the giganto teeth yet.

Boden climbing the thing

On the day of the 24th of July Parade, the park had this big climbing thing which Boden thought had something to do with spiderman. Anyway he had to climb on it.

Yeah, he landed on his head, not very much like spiderman. Oh well!

Merrill Family Reunion

This last weekend we had my Merrill side family reunion in Bear Lake (I love bear lake).

My Grandma said out of 60 members of our family we were missing 12. That is a pretty good turn out. We had so much fun camping with every one. I was so great to visit and sit around the fire roasting marshmallows. Saturday we spent most of the day at the beach. I was such a perfect day. I was really bad at taking pictures, I only took pictures at the beach. Anyway, We had a great time.

We're having a baby!!!!

Yes we are expecting. We told our families on 4th of July. The kids are so excited. For some crazy reason Boden is the most excited. He wants a brother and is already calling him Bob. He is always asking if I can hear Bob yet. We are due around January 19th.

The Lake

Nate and Jen invited the whole family to American Falls and they took their Boat out. All the little girls had so much fun playing in the sand.
