Silverwood


This last weekend we got to spend it with our good friends from Post Falls. Riley, Stephanie, Cole and Finley showed us a great weekend. On Friday night, we hung out at their house and had a bbq. We brought up buffalo steaks. I think everyone enjoyed them. The boys played outside forever. They werent easy to put to bed since they were so excited for the upcoming day. On Saturday we got up and got ready to head to Sliverwood. Believe it or not we were out of the house by 9:00. That is good with 2 husbands who insisted on not having a good time and 4 kids under the age of 5. We got there in plenty of time to wait in line to get to get through the door. We rode the train first since the 2 older boys wanted to. Then it was off to the kid rides to burn a little energy before lunch. Then, Steph and I took the boys to lunch in the water park and then decided it was time for some water fun. It was getting pretty hot. All the kids, yes all of 6 of them (this includes husbands) enjoyed the water park. By this time is was time for some adult rides. So back to the theme park for some log rides and roller coasters. Then back to the water park to cool off before they closed. The biggest boys enjoyed some more water slides while the 4 little boys played in the little water park. Then back to the theme park for some last minute rides. We left at 8:00 and went back to Steph and Rileys for pizza. Got the kids to bed and the adults. We were exhausted. Sunday we hung out and let the kids play. We got home at 8:30 last night. Thanks guys for such a great weekend!!!

Grandpa's 80th Birthday Party


We had my grandpa's 80th birthday party on the 4th of July. There were 87 people there. It was at my grandparents house in Lewiston. I have to say it was extremely hot. The kids decided to have a squirt gun fight. None of the adults minded as long as we got sprayed a little. It was a lot of fun to spend time with my cousins that I never get to see. The little kids played very well together. We had tons of fun. Then after the party, we all stayed and watched the fireworks and karaoked. What a blast. Happy Birthday Grandpa. We love you very much!!!

Camping up the Selway


This past weekend we went camping up the Selway again. My parents went with us. Rick even got to go this time. We had a blast. It didnt even rain on us. The kids had fun playing in the river. Oh and so did the dogs. We rode 4-wheelers on Saturday for a long ride. We had lunch and played in the river. On Sunday we went for a short ride and then packed up. Since Rick and I bought a new snowmobiling trailer, we decided we would sleep in there. Dallon didnt want to try it. I dont blame him. Toddy and I slept on the air mattress. Rick slept on his cot. I think it was an even plan. The air mattress went flat at about midnight. Not very comfortable. But Toddy slept on top of me so he was comfy. I was glad to get home and sleep in my own bed.

Rick Swimming

Rick decided he would go swimming in the Selway. The day before he tried it and he couldnt put his feet in. We gave him so much crap because he screamed like a girl. Dallon played in the water for a long time. So, I guess Rick had to prove a point. He dove in twice. The first time was the best, but I didnt have the camera ready, so I made him do it again. And, I have to say it was very cold.

Kim and Kerry's Wedding

I dont have too many pictures of the wedding. My camera was dying, so Sam took as many as she could. But, the wedding was beautiful. The ceremony had a few sprinkles and then after a couple of pictures, it downpoured. So, among all of us we packed up everything and headed to Cottonwood for a wonderful reception. The hall was decorated before Kim and Kerry arrived. It was so nice of everyone to pitch in and help make this their special day. If you have some pictures of my boys could you please send them to me. Thanks.

Snack Cupboard

Toddy really enjoys his food. If he is hungry he will let you know by acting like he is chewing. It is actually pretty funny. Well, anyways, last night I wasnt fast enough in making his dinner. So, he took it upon himself to go find his own. He climbed in the cupboard and reached all the way to the back to get a granola bar. Now, I really dont understand why he just didnt turn the tray. But, it is his way or no way. No, he didnt get to eat the granola bar. He noticed the pancakes were done and put it back.
