Camping Fun

On Tuesday night we headed over to Redfish Lake to spend time with my family.  On Wednesday we went to the fish hatchery, Stanley Lake, swimming and boating.  The kids went right to sleep that night after so much fun. Thursday we rode bikes, went boating and swimming again.  We had to start for home about 4, but we had a great time playing and spending time with family.  (My camera battery died Thursday morning, so I don't have any pictures from that day.)

Party

Last week Jenny, Mindy, and Mikey all came to visit. Wednesday the girls got to go swim in Grandma's pool with their cousins. That night we had a get to know you party for Mike and his Jenny. On Thursday, we drove up to Heise to swim. It was so much fun taking the kids down the slide, and Daniel had a blast just being in the pool. The girls went down the slide almost the whole time and Kenna even went down by herself a few times. Daniel would kick his feet out and try to mimic what the girls did. After swimming we had a picnic lunch and then headed home for naps and quiet time. We went back over to Grandma's that night so the kids could get some more play time in with the cousins. On Friday we went to the zoo with (almost) everyone. We saw the servels (sp?) playing, saw the snow leopard(he usually hides), and got to feed and brush the goats. After lunch Jenny and her family headed for home. We had a great time with all the family.

 Daniel loved chasing the balloons around the gym.

 The girls went up on the stage and danced to the music during the party- when they were done, Ruby would bow.

 Daniel loved getting up on the piano- I felt like I got him down and shut it about 100 times...

Thanks Jenny for emailing me the pictures!

Concert, Boating, and Good times...

On Friday Warren and I went to a Darius Rucker concert. My mom met me in pocatello and took the kids for the night. After the concert Warren taught me how to drive his car since I have never learned how to drive stick shift. It was a lot of fun to drive. The next day after Warren got off of work we headed over to Burley. We met my family at the boat docks and took turns getting rides on the tube. Kenna said that she got 10 rides- I didn't get any pictures of her on the tube :( On Sunday my sister Diane had her baby blessed. Afterwards we ate lunch and let the kids run around and play with their cousins. (I didn't even think to get pictures :( We had a fun weekend.

 The sun setting behind the clouds- a couple minutes before you could see the actual sun rays- it was pretty cool.

Kylie's black eye that she got today- long story.

Tired boy

This has been a common the last couple of weeks.  He is still eating when I get up and help the girls get things set up for quiet time downstairs.  I come back about 5 minutes later and find this.  

Pioneer Days Rodeo

We went to St. Anthony's pioneer days rodeo Saturday night. It was a fun little outing for our family.

Yard work with Papa

 Daniel- he was digging in the dirt.

 Kylie sweeping the dirt off the sidewalk (she found a pair of Dad's gloves in the garage.)

 Sweeping more dirt- (this time she found an old broom)

 He thinks he wants to mow the lawn too...

Yep- He got to help too.
