mccall.

Last weekend we went on a Beus family reunion up to McCall, Idaho.  When we were younger our Beus side went there almost every summer and it is a fun family tradition we are starting again.  It is honestly one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.  It hasn't been taken over by tourists, yet, and hopefully never will.  This year we rented a fantastic condo right on the water.  We would walk out the back porch and be on the shore.  It was so beautiful!!  

We mostly did a lot of water activities which were so fun.  We rented a boat on Friday and Saturday along with jet skis on Friday.  I had never been on a jet ski, but they are my new favorite water activity!!  So fun!

 Lots of my aunts and uncles were there along with my cousins and even some of my cousins kids.  It was so great to see everyone!!

 We got some fabulous pizza one of the nights-this was the kids table-I remember the day I graduated from the kids table, yea for being married :)

 Enjoying the sun and water!

 "Uncle T" and cousin Aubrey...

 Walking through town when we saw Aunt Debbie and Uncle Mike!  "Hey!"

Lincoln loves my grandma Beus.  He talks to her so much.  I think he spent a lot of time with my grandpa in heaven and wants to tell her everything about it. :)

 Yes, even Linc had a swimsuit for water time at the lake.

 He loved it all :)

We had such a wonderful time and can't wait for next year!!!

As I said in an earlier post I wanted to re-finish a dresser and my aunt gave me a great piece.  This dresser started out a light brown, sadly I didn't take a full on before picture.  Holly and Lucy came down and helped me finish it and we love it!!

Provo Canyon Picnic

Last night we went for a picnic in Provo Canyon at Nunns Park and it was so fun to be with my boys.  We ate dinner and then walked up to the waterfall that is nearby.  

 Lincoln loves to be outside and makes the sweetest sounds...

 And of course he loves playtime with daddy...

 (The outfits were not planned by the way ha ha)

 He is seriously my pal!! 

We had a really fun night together.

Park City

Last week my family and I went up to Park City for a day of shopping and sliding.  Dad, Mom, Trev, Jansen, Holly, Lucy, Mia, Lincoln and I first stopped at the outlet stores for some very fun shopping and found some great finds.  Then we ventured up to the Park City resort for some delicious mexican food and then, of course, went to the Alpine Slides!!  Lucy and Mia first went up with the boys while us girls watched Lincoln and then we went up with them after.  Mia went with my dad and after kept saying, "I laughed!" She is so adorable.

 She LOVED it :)

And she took very good care of my sunglasses ha ha...

Favorites

Every couple months I find bagillions of pictures of things that I love/adore.  Sometimes I post them, other times I set them as my desktop, and at times I just stare at them and dream of living inside them.  Here are some things I have found lately that make my heart swell with gladness and goodness. :)

Check out all that...so pretty... 

 Goal: Learn how to reapholster furniture.  I have read lots of tutorials on it and I think I could do it!!  I just need a subject to practice on....

 Oh.My.Goodness. 

For reals, this takes my breathe away. 

 LOVE me some red brick fireplaces...

 Teal couch? sign me up.

 Wow!!  I wish I would have gone to the Parade of Homes and seen this beauty.  She is absolutely fabulous.

 Quite an entrance.

 My grey couch with these pillows=perfection.

 So quaint and sweet for a small apartment...

 I'm usually not the biggest fan of pure white kitchens but this one is done so well!!!  Gorgeous.

 Pull out bed from the window seat? Sure :)

 Along with reapholstering furniture I would love to learn to re-finish furniture.  Yum...

 Will you be my guest?? 

 Rad. So hot right now.

Green: You have never looked so hot.

1. Summer!!!

Father's Day

This weekend was absolutely fabulous.  On Friday we drove to Claire and Bob's home and enjoyed dinner and lots of fun play time with them.  On Saturday we had a wonderful Father's day dinner out on the porch-it was so beautiful!  

 Lincoln loved being at Grandma Claire's!

 We're so thankful for Bob and the great example he is to us.  Lincoln is so blessed to have such a wonderful grandpa!  We love him so much.

 Saturday night we went over to my parents and enjoyed a fun night with them.  It's so nice that our families live so close to each other so we can celebrate holidays with both our families.  

Happy Father's day to Brett!!!  Lincoln loves his daddy so much.  Thanks so much for being such an incredible husband and dad Brett!!  We love you SO much!!!!

On Sunday we went to church with my parents and after enjoyed another fabulous meal with my family.  I'm so grateful for my dad.  He is such an inspiration to me and I love him so much.  He is so sweet with Lincoln and Lincoln loves him so much too.  What a blessed little boy to have two amazing grandpas and a fabulous daddy!!!  

 We had such a great time playing in the backyard after.  My parents installed a new swing and Lincoln loved it!  He had the biggest smile on his face the entire time.  

1. fabulous weekend.
