1st hunting trip

Hunting season is here and Tony wanted to take Cody out with him on opening weekend. Tony bought Cody hunting clothes and everything. They got all geared up and took the camp trailer out and had a great time. Cody always wants to wear his hunting clothes.

trip to Winnemucca

Well, I decided to brave the six hour drive with the kids without Tony for the first time. We went to visit Aunt Angie, Uncle Bryon, Courtney and Chelsie. We were able to surprise Courtney and Chelsie, they didn't know we were coming.

Courtney and Cody had so much fun in the backyard. Thank you Courtney for spending so much time with Cody playing volleyball. You are his hero!!! Angie and Bryon had a company summer party that we went to and Cody won all kinds of toys and played on some blowup toys too.

I actually got a good picture, can you believe it. I tool thisof Brandon sitting on the fence in front of Angie's house. I am so proud of myself. Isn't he so cute!!!

I will fix it

Our bathroom sink was having some problems so I told Tony when he got home from work. Well, Cody overheard me telling Tony about the leaky facet and he ran and grabbed his tool belt and told us he was going to fix the leak. I tried to take some pictures, here are the best ones. He was so cute. I hope he is this excited to help when he is older.

Fun at the playground

My sister-in-law Sam, invited the kids and I to Jensen's Grove to play. We had so much fun, thanks Sam. Asia, Grace, Cody, Brandon, Leah, Elizabeth and big Ben played in the sand, on the monkey bars and on the slide. Elizabeth was even decked out in her pretty hat.

Grace and Asia were hanging upside down so Cody wanted to give it a try.

He did really well. I think they could have hung upside down for hours.

Family visit

We had all of our family together for a weekend, I threw a baby shower for Marietta and it was so great to see everyone. Brandon joined in the fun while eating cake.

Cody and my niece, Elizabeth, had a blast with sunglasses.

We spent a lot of time with cousins and had tons of fun. Here is Elizabeth with Belle and Abby.

I wish I was better with the camera because I missed a lot of shots of the kids. It seems I can never catch the good stuff. It is always so nice to get the family together and watch all the kids play. I am very blessed to have a wonderful family of my own and to have a caring extended family.

Train Ride

The Railroad offered a free train ride today in Blackfoot. The boys, Mary, my friend Bonnie and her son Amory and I all went for a train ride. It was fun. Here is Mary and Cody enjoying the ride.

The boys liked to look out the windows and loved to run around the train car. Here they are standing in front of a mirror at the back of the car. It was fun to ride the train, could be fun to go on a trip on the train.
