Yellowstone

The kids went to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone with Scott this past weekend. They had a really good time. Here are some of the pictures that Braiden sent to me. Enjoy!!

Old Faithful

This picture is of a bear.

I am glad that he didnt get any closer to take his picture.

The kids loved the smell of the sulfur pots. Hahaha NOT!!!

Luke

I thought I would save the best picture of Luke for last. But after I posted my other post of Luke I realized that you all would see this one first. But I just love this picture. In this picture Chris had just got done feeding Luke. Luke decided to take a rest and suck his thumb. He is so dang cute!!!

Our Little Luke

Here are some pictures of my little Luke. He is so cute and chubby. He is the kind of baby that you just want to squish and just kiss and kiss. He is so sweet and has such a good disposition.

Colin & Al

This past Saturday Colin and I got to spend the day together. We had so much fun....well at least I did. I hope Colin did. As you all can tell from Joni's clip of Colin saying what the dog says I decided to let him meet Al. All of you remember our big dog that we have at Greg's house? Al is so sweet and gentle.

Colin was so excited when he saw Al. He just walked right up to Al, their faces were the exact height. Colin tried petting Al but just didnt know what to think about that. Then I went and got some graham crackers out of the cupboard. I showed Colin that Al liked graham crackers just as much as he did. Colin thought that was pretty cool. So I gave Colin a square of a graham cracker to feed Al. Al was so good and gentle about not scaring Colin or getting to close to his little fingers. Colin thought that was soooo neat, he just looked at me and made this little cheesy grin and laughed. Then Colin wanted to feed Al more crackers, we ended up going through a whole package of graham crackers. I finally just had to tell Al and Colin that there were no more graham crackers.

SummerFest

I met mom, dad, Joni and Bryan at the SummerFest this last weekend. I stole Colin from his parents and took him with me. His parents did stay close behind. They were worried that I would lose him. hahaha.....We got to see a dog and he went crazy panting. He was so excited. It was so dang cute. Then we found these metal animals that alot of kids were playing on. Well Colin liked the dinosaur and the turtle the best. He would go from one to the other. I would put him up on them so he could sit on them. Then he would just act like he was so cool. Well since we played so long on the animals Colin's parents caught up to us and stole him back. But we had fun while it lasted. Tomorrow I get to babysit him again while Joni and Mom have a garage sale. I promise I wont lose him. :)

Liftathon

Braiden was in a liftathon at his high school. He was in the Welter Weight Division. He took all four medals. They had a medal for Squats - he squatted 355 pounds, for bench press he benched 255 pounds, for power clean he lifted 265 pounds. His total weight that he lifted was 875 pounds. It was amazing to see him lift all of that weight. I have better pictures coming but this is what I had so far. Braiden is an amazing young man. Growing up so big and tall and MUSCLY!!! I love you Braiden.

Moms New Tat

Hello my wonderful family. I just thought you would all like to know that Mom has turned rebel on us. Here are some pictures that I just happen to take while she is getting her new tat!!! The tattoo turned out really cute. It was a cute little lady bug. And you all thought I was the rebel of the family. :)

To bad she took a shower......Her friend Jean in this picture also got a tat but you cant see it very well in this picture. My cute little Mother!!! You make me smile. I love you.
