Mom & Izzie Go To Idaho

At the beginning of June Lynnell and Izzie went to Idaho with a couple of the girls that Lynnell mentored when they were in youth group. Kind of a senior trip type thing. Anyway, I didn't go, so I can't provide too much input on what happened, but the pictures tell a pretty good story.

Here's Syd with her new rabbit.


Here's Hannah showing her loose tooth.


Here's Izzie getting pushed by Grandpa Joe in her Aunts swing.


Here's Aunt Alex with her sweet umbrella.


Izzie with Grandma Tonia.


Here's the girls getting their picture taken (kind of a miniature reunion I guess).


After a quick stop off in the Silver Valley they headed to Spokane to stay with my mom for a couple of days to get some good shopping in. Here's Izzie with Grannie Alie the next morning.



They didn't take any pictures while shopping or touring Spokompton which is fairly disappointing to me since I journal my entire life with a camera and consequently miss everything because I'm always looking at the screen on the back of my camera. But really, I'm glad that they just had fun and enjoyed themselves. After a couple of days of shopping and spending money they headed back to Billings, but first they stopped off in the valley one last time to hang out with Grandpa Chuck and Grandma Shirley.



And then on the way out of town it was one last stop at the Cote's. Here's Izzie checking out a bunny. Of course she grunted and squealed like a little pig, but I think she probably enjoyed it.


Here's Izzie playing the Godzilla role, shaking the Chihuahua's cage and screaming at it. Notice the terrified-japanese-i'm-going-to-die look on it's face. Poor thing.


Here's Aunt Alex showing Izzie her bear. I'd say it's cute.


Last but not least, Grandpa Joe and Izzie.


I missed my family while they were gone, but I did enjoy my time alone.
