Hiking around Targhee 2015

On our last day in Driggs this last summer we headed up to Targhee with Rob and Lance and Nicki and Ryan to hike around. We first rode the lift up and then back down just for the views. I thought I was afraid going up the lift, but going down was way worse. It was a beautiful day though spent with some of my most favorite people. I love this place where I grew up and love being able to go back for a few weeks every summer. It will be different this year with a new little baby. All the kids are already getting excited about our trip in June and Lyla asked just yesterday if she could start packing.

Painting the House

So last summer we were determined to get the house painted. We worked really hard on it when we had the time. Most of the time was spent taking down and putting up the scaffolding. It wiggled a lot when you stood on it and made me pretty nervous, but was such a huge help in getting things mostly done. We still have trim around the windows and doors to do and the top little section of each peak to do with a ladder because we couldn't reach with the scaffolding. I really like how it is turning out so far. I was worried each time Phil was up putting the scaffolding together because I thought for sure he was going to either get smashed with the pieces or he would fall off. He was amazing and I stood around watching. It was not a two person job when one is afraid of heights and not super strong!

Family

Found some pictures of taking the kids out for hamburgers after our Rainier to Ruston run. I love hanging out with these people. It is crazy to me to think that we will be adding another little one in just a few weeks. There is hardly any room left for her and the kids are so excited to meet her and hold her. The top three names I have on my list right now are Nona, Opal and Hazel...the kids aren't super sure about any of them, but I keep reminding them they will get to name their own babies.
