4th of July

Cooking hot dogs on the beach. Rusty made a little fire so we could have dinner.

Coming back from the little waterfall they found.

Rusty cooking his hot dog.

Ethan had to perform surgery on the poor little fishy. He swallowed the hook.

This helipoctor made a few water trips while we were on the lake. It was pretty cool to watch him.

Just chillin'

Me chillin' while the boys and Gram were swimmin'





We spent all day on the water for the 4th. We had a wonderful time. I didn't get any pictures of the fireworks cause my camera delay was too long, but the boys got some good ones with their phones. They will e-mail me some later. Bayview puts on an awesome firework display and it is so great watching from the water. The booms echo off the mountains and it is SO cool.

3rd of July

The boys found this little frog at the end of our evening. I just love frogs.

Ethan with the officially named "Snickers"

Mary, Rusty looks so much like you in this picture. I think it's the shirt. I apparently put my shirt in his closet. He came out with it on. Doesn't he look nice in teddy bears? I would have died laughing if he hadn't noticed and worn it to work.

My little All Star

Ethan trying to get on the tube.

All that work and he's going back in.

Look at my two handsome boys!

My big handsome boy!

These are just gorgeous so they had to be added.

I was trying to get these to load with this photo first and the bonfire last, but I always seem to upload them wrong. We had a great afternoon on the boat and then had a bonfire and a few fireworks when we got home.

Snake and strawberries for breakfast anyone?

This was my surprise this morning when I am picking my strawberries for breakfast. Don't get me wrong snakes are cool, just not in my strawberries. I had a yummy breakfast of strawberries and yogurt, but let the snake to sunbathe were I found him.

My boy is home!

Seaweed wars!!

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
