Summer Fun!

 Emma's first spelling test. How do you spell TROUBLE? :)

 She's usually a lefty.

Ok, these pictures are going back in time from September to April ish. These are the last of the pictures off my phone(Sorry). Then I'll return to regular updates.

 

 Ellie's 10th birthday at the FAIR pictures.

 This is crazy ride that takes you up a tower and just drops. I could not believe Ellie dared go on it. As you can see not many other people did.

 The kids brush the SAME cow every year. :)

 a picture with the draft horses. Ellie was afraid it was going to nibble her ear. Barry's co-worker owns a team of these horses and uses them on his farm and to teach equine science.

 THIS is a dangerous one ........fur sure.

 Lots of peaches canned. This is all I did in one day. I was pretty proud of myself. The rest of the kitchen(disaster) is conveniently not pictured.

 Ellie's new glasses. Cute girl.

 Mr Weasel from Weaseltown. Barry and I saw this weasel at the Bear River Bird Refuge. One of our favorite places in this world.

 I love this blurry shot of Ellie, I find her like this ALOT. She loves to read.

 Barry's and my date night. We ARE getting old.

 Barry's new office!

Emma with her dolls(babies) before bed.

Summer Family Reunion to LAVA HOT Springs.

Natalie helped me make my first piggy's(with short hair) before we went to Willard Bay.

Emma loves the kitty.

My little OWLS. This was at the Nature Center in Boise. Cool place.

Waiting to swim in the hotel pool in Boise. Natalie and I raced across the pool, many times.

Eating Mom's homemade granola bars at a park in Boise. I dared the kids to feed the geese.  They were a little intense. NOBODY would do it. I even doubled dared Natalie ....chickened out.

Under the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls. This is the first time we went, we got ran out by mosquitos.

Yoda Ellie.

Emma dramatically finishing her piano piece.

Out to dinner at a fancy restaurant, the kids were very well behaved.

Celebrating Daddy's new job as Department Head.

In the Car, waiting to go down to Grandma's

Chopped my hair off and thinned it out. Soo much easier.

Kindergarten field trip to the fire station.
