Shively Camping Trip

In July we went camping with the Shively's up to Wade Lake in Montana. I mean rugged, tent camping :)  Everyone had trailers but us so we were the only ones roughin' it.  It was actually so much fun! I took a much needed week off work and went up to the land of no cell phone service.  I loved every minute of it! Thank you family for letting us join in on all the fun! Here's some pics from our trip.

So no judging here for what I'm about to tell you.. Shawn had a really bad sunburn and was peeling so the kids worked together and peeled his back for him, hahahaha.  

Jaden helping out with the fire

Katelyn and Cassie were super crafty and made everyone jewelry.

We went to to West Yellowstone to get fishing licenses and Kelty found this cute hat.

Look how handsome he is! He's making a Shively's sign. It's pretty cool actually, it's in front of our house now

Thank you family for being so great, we had so much fun with you all! I can't wait until the next family campout!

The First Kay Family Reunion

So these lovely ladies had not been altogether for 23 years!! That is way to long to go without seeing your sisters! I'm so glad they were all able to get together and I hope this will not be the last reunion we have. 

One success of the trip was Zac man no longer hates my dogs :)

We saw so many moose! Just on our rafting trip Shawn and I saw 6!

It was so wonderful to have everyone together.  We really missed Logan, Curt, Kodi, Travis, and their cute families.  Next reunion hopefully we'll all be able to make it.  Love you all family!

Summer fun!

So I have something to admit, I'm a horrible blogger. So I downloaded all of my phone pictures to my computer finally and will now update you on our lives.  You're so lucky for reading this because it is going to be very exciting I'm sure! ;)
FYI: This is a totally RANDOM post

We have been doing a lot of camping

A little hike my mom, Marissa, Aaron, Ben, and I did in Yellowstone July 2012 

My love catching us some din din

Shawn joined in on the action too!

Gramps and my babies July 2012

Our AMAZING yard sale find! I've been holding off buying new furniture knowing our pups would probably ruin it, but then we found this! It's in great condition but we got an amazing deal so it works!! 

This is my beautiful mother who got a little carried away with the Tabasco sauce ;)

Look how big my little Baylee is! I can't believe she'll be two :(

In Island Park waiting for our fam to float into the bridge.  We luckily missed out on a super chilly ride!

Love this cheesy grin!

Miss my girls! 

Saying goodbye to Grandpa

 So Shawn has been working in Mud Lake a lot which has been good because he is a farm boy through and through. Well me and the pups have been missing him.  Diesel likes to look out the window and wait for him to come home.

And here's my pretty face because I don't have a lot of pics of myself I've realized :)  Sis I need a bang trim!
