Western Idaho Fair

After working all week, we took some time out to try and enjoy the fair.

Wizard of Oz in the Park

Last weekend we were all feeling pretty cooped up so we headed down to Julia Davis park with a few blankets and a picnic basket.
The Boise School District has been showing about a movie a month in the band shell, completely free. The last movie of the summer was Wizard of Oz. I was actually pretty excited having not seen it on anything bigger than my tv. The event is really neat, there are games and arts and crafts for kids prior to the movie starting, as well as a live band and drawings. The movie started at sundown.
Danielle, Codie and Rylan came with us. The weather was perfect! It was a lot of fun and we cant wait until next year!

Because we cant be there physically

We are there in spirit!!!
We would do anything to be able to be out in the heat, losing our voices,
spending time with our niece and nephews
and Sally,
to cheer you and your team on.

We are very proud of you Adam!

If anyone who reads this is in Denver, please support this group of people who have ALL raised money for breast cancer research, AND are walking 20 miles a day for three days.
Give these AMAZING people some love.

And, shame on you if they have been walking close to you, and you haven't given 10 minutes of your day to show boost these guys spirits by cheering at one of the cheer stations. The experience alone is worth it. They deserve the out most respect!!

The Breast Cancer 3 day is a life changing event. Many of these men and women are walking for spouses, mothers, sisters, friends who have fought this awful disease in one way or another.

We love you Adam, Sally, Mark, Kate and Robb!!

Camping... again!

We went camping for what is probably going to be the last time this year... sad.
We had a blast as usual though. We went with Rick and Tony and our other friend, Bob.
We left town thursday, and came home sunday. It never really got super warm, and friday night got down to 23. We were able to go to the fish hatchery, and another hike (woot!!!)
and of course lots of yummy cooking.

The fish hatchery had such high numbers of salmon return last year that they are ready to release 1.5 million babies next spring!! Amazing!!! These guys are just a few of the ones that have come back this year.

South Side of Galena Summit looking towards Sun Valley.

Pathetic attempt at a family picture.

Titus Lake... beautiful! Very worth starting a hike at 9,000 feet. Were you aware that there is no oxygen up there? I now am VERY aware. Next time I will bring my O2 tank.

Monkey boy Tony!

We are going to try to find another weekend, but it looks bleak. I am sad to admit that summer is officially coming to an end for us. Boo!!

A few cute pictures

Rylan and his way cute, way too big jacket.

When I was peicing together a quilt for Rylan, I had a bunch of fabric out. Piper burrowed and found herself a place to sleep. It was pretty cute!

Fun With Photobooth

Never ceases to provide endless entertainment. Mixture of Tanya, Danielle, Rylan, Codie, Matt and I.

Rylans Announcements

I need opinions... Which one do you like???

Playing at the Park

We took Piper and Ella to the park today to play fetch and just enjoy being somewhere other than the back yard.

The funny thing about this picture is that there is one almost exactly like this one of Ellas momma going down the slide. Such funny pups!

Why do we buy tennis balls when she gets much more excited about the stick?

Not much here!!

Not a lot going on here. Just enjoying the new addition to the family.
Danielle is a very good mom. We are all so incredibly proud of her.
Rylan is getting more cute by the day!

Codie is a good kid. He loves his son and is VERY good with both Rylan and Danielle.
Now, if he could just get a job...

We have had a lot of family visit including aunts and uncles and cousins from the area and Oregon. Codies parents are in town until tomorrow. We will be so glad when things slow down!!

Rylan is home!

Cuddling with my Uncle Matt

My cute tye dye little hat!

Visiting great grandma for the first time!
