Happy 4th!

We had a great 4th of July. We were able to go out and see some friends that Jake had worked with before we left for Kentucky. They live out in Marsing, Idaho and have a beautiful home there. Once we were there the boys and Katy were able to ride horses and had a great time feeding them. I am sure that the horses were so full after our kids got through with them. We had a marvelous time and had a great dinner. They roasted a pig and had everyone contribute to the spread. We had a great time.

Then we were able to get back in time to do fireworks with papa and Uncle Travis. They had gone way out to show the boys a good time. I wonder if it was for the boys or more for them. I know Uncle Trav enjoys them almost as much as the kids do. We had a great holiday and are very grateful for our country that we live in and the freedoms that we have. I hope that all of you enjoyed the holiday as well.

This last picture was taken by Kyle. I actually think he did a great job. He had fun with the camera and I had to delete quite a few of our friends hay.

Jake's Great Find

We have moved into this great house that we absolutely love. The people before us did not take care of the yard and it looked horrible. I had mentioned to Jake that we should find some river rock that would match the rock on our house. One day that Jake went out to the desert with the boys shooting, he came back and surprised me with almost a truck full of rock. I was so excited!!!!!! So here are the before and after pictures of something that we were able to do for free, which for us is important right now.

My Baby's 1!!!!!

It has been way too long since we have updated our blog. We have moved into a house and are still waiting for our stuff. But we finally have internet and a monitor to plug our dying laptop into. So much has happened since I last updated. Katy is now one, actually 13 months by now. Christopher is now 9 and will not stop growing. We have had to replace all shoes on his feet as they have grown so much in the last few months. We now have to shop in the men's section of shoes. I was not prepared for that one.

I can't believe that my baby has turned one so fast. On June 28th we had a good time with family and friends celebrating her day. She has changed so much in the last few months, finally crawling and pulling herself up onto things. I think it will help her to start walking when we finally have our stuff and she has something to cruise on. I think we are now entering my favorite stage of learning and growing so much in this next year. I love toddlers. My babies are always good until they reach 3. We shall see how Katy does. Our last Sunday in church was the first time I looked forward to nursery. She is way to mobile now and loves to make noises so we are unable to not be noticed and have to wander the halls. Hopefully the next few months go better than last week.
