CSI Triathlon

 This weekend we didn't go anywhere!
Weird huh?
Well it was conference weekend, so we decided to stick around.
The kid's and I went to the library on Friday, went to lunch at CSI and explored the Rose garden. The kids each picked out their favorite roses. I took tons of pictures, and I have no idea where they all went.



 Saturday we woke up early and went and watched Barry compete in a Triathlon at CSI!





 He saw the fastest!








 Waiting for Dad
 He biked the fastest!

 AND He ran the fastest!



So he won!!! Congrats Dad!

Dierke's Hike



My My! What a gaggle of kids. :D
We got a few stares. That's alright, I wouldn't trade away any of them, and I know Shana wouldn't either.


 This weekend we went on a hike with some old friends from Rupert. It was super fun to see them again. We met at the lake, had a picnic dinner, and then hiked around the lake. It's about 2.5 miles. The kid's had a fun time and each of them made a new friend.












 Ellie and Taci. Around on the back side of the lake you can get a pretty amazing view of the snake river.



 Lauren loves to make intense faces in my pictures. She thinks it's soo funny.

 The "easy chair" Owen enjoyed the hike and even treated us to a song.




 Lizard catching attempt. Of course James brought supplies.






 Follow the leader

 of course I focused the camera on his hand and NOT the lizard. It was pretty cute.




 Guess WHO got to hold the lizard?

 Singing us goodnight songs
James being excessively dangerous. I kept telling him what goes up, must come down....
 Lauren found a new bed to sleep in at night.





 These TWO were just too cute.
