Catch of the Day

From this to....
THIS!!!!

Weekend fun

Fun weekend! Saturday we joined Amber and family at Priest Lake, and Sunday had the fam over for BBQ.

Mary, this ones for you!

Cody's first words as he took the driver's seat was to look at the throttle and say "this makes us go faster."

This used to be an old red falling down house. They sure made it look nice.

Can I live here?

Report cards

Ethan and Tucker both had a good school year. Tucker has an over-all average of 93% and Ethan a GPA of 3.42. I am very proud of my boys.

All Star tournament

Well we don't play till the weekend of the 10th now. We are in the Hayden pool so games will be at Crowfoot (old Diamond field). I will post as schedule when I know actual times. Looks like Tucker will possibly playing Centerfield, but not positive. He is working hard and the coach is very impressed with his hustle. We are scrimaging the 9-10 team tonight for some game time practice.

Yummy!!!! Fresh Strawberry Jam

I picked two big bowls of strawberries from my garden today. I made 4 batches of jam. Yummy!!!! The boys have been out of jam for a while now and will be very happy to have jam again. Funny Ethan said to make sure I save him some. I think 4 batches should last till he gets home. LOL

New Homes

The gray and orange kitties have new homes. They both went to homes in Spokane. I just have the little Pig Pig left and she is staying here. Rusty wants to boot her outside, we'll see.... She is snuggling on my lap as I type.

Big Fish

Ethan e-mailed us this picture last night. He caught that on the Chain Lake with his dad and Matt. That is one nice fish.

I finally got a memory card so we are taking pictures.

All Stars

Tucker is playing All Stars. He did not sign up, but his teammates and the coaches voted for him so he is playing now. It should be a great experience and I think he will learn a lot. The tournaments are all locally so no traveling. First practice is tonight.

Silverwood

The boys, Tyler, and I went to Silverwood today. It was really nice. Amber and the kids showed up in the afternoon. It was fun. I took Connor on the Scrambler. He wasn't too sure it was fun at first, but he did great. He didn't want to go again though. Cody is a stud on the rides. He did everything the boys wanted to go on. He even went on the Corkscrew and he said he would go on Tremors with me. I might have to see if he is tall enough cause my kids won't go with me. We are going back tomorrow. Ethan goes to his dad's tomorrow evening so we have to get some fun in before he goes.
