For Sale

Well  it's official, we are selling our house. Kelly has switched jobs this summer, he just got on with Intermountain Gas (Pocatello office), so we will have to move to at least Blackfoot. Unless something changes and he can put in for up here. Which I am praying for, but not holding my breath. We have been talking about selling the last couple of years anyway so we could go somewhere with a little more ground. Now it's for sale, no more just talking about it. So if you are looking, or know anyone who is looking, drop me a line. We live in Rigby, well Grant area, on a one acre lot in a small quiet subdivision.  Other than that nothing else new and exciting. 

The Goings on

So the summer has flown by as usual. Here is just a little update on what has been going on. We have been going to Gray's Lake a lot on the weekends.I love the birds up there. Blue birds and humming birds. Tyree had her first s'more. She loves to fish. I golfed on the women's league. I think we ended up 3rd. Tyree loves being outside and absolutely loves animals, especially horses. We have had visits from cousins. Tyree is getting to where she loves to play with her cousins. She talks all the time, and likes to sing. We had a great time with Reagan. We had fun on the 4th with Cami and her kids. We took them fishing one day and on horse rides another day. Tyree doesn't like to share her horse. We have seen Gabe and Hillary a couple times. Tyree loves babies, she's a little mother hen. I have no pictures of Gideon and Parker but we do lots with them. We went to the fair this week and she did awesome. She rode rides and petted all the animals. She is very independent and doesn't realize she is little. We are working on potty training. My goal was by her 2nd birthday. I have 10 days, we'll see what happens. Last weekend was a big one for Kelly too. He got on a bull, it's been 8 years. They were having a a bull riding reunion. He got bucked off, but he had a ton of fun and Tyree liked watching too. This fall we are going hunting, I am so excited. When we go to the mountains Tyree loves to look for deer. We had to get her some little binoculars. I'll try to update better this fall.

Easter

Yes, I know, finally I am posting. Usually Jan. to March is the longest, and hardest time of the year for me. I don't know what happened this year but it has just flown by. I'm sure having a busy 1 year old has helped. We have been doing just great, I can't even think of anything new. Our jobs are both good. We went steel head, and ice fishing a few times. The fishing wasn't very good to us this spring, but it is still always fun. In March I turned the big 30! We had a party on Fri. night with a bunch of friends, and then had cake with the family on Sunday. Kelly and I even got to golf 9 holes on my birthday so it was a great weekend. The last couple of weekends we have been branding, yes it's that time of year. I will get those pictures up later. I also have some family pictures from last fall I want to put up, but Tyree makes it very difficult to do anything on the computer. There is always little fingers helping you push the buttons. Tyree is getting so big. She says several words, and loves to throw things in the trash or the dirty clothes hamper. Not just anything though, she only throws trash away, or any time you change her she grabs her clothes and puts them in the hamper. It always amazes me how quick she picks up on something. She loves anything to do with cows, horses, and puppies. Next to Mommy, Daddy, and No, I think those are her favorite words. She will not say yes, what is that about? There is a new baby at the sitter's, and apparently she is a little mother hen. Baby is also one of the words she says a lot.  Easter was so much fun. We were able to go to Utah and spend it with our family. They were blessing my nephew Gabriel. The weather was beautiful, Tyree loved being outside the whole time. We got down to Hillary and Jake's on Sat., and we just hung out there for a few hours. Cami and her family were able to come up, and of course dad, mom, Cody, Cali, and her family were there too. We just let the kids play and then we colored eggs. It was fun, I haven't colored eggs for a couple of years. We had a little kit to make it look like chicks were coming out of the eggs. Cody and I had way to much fun with it. He cut his into a mo-hawk, I made one with wings, and one we called the Monsters Inc. egg. That evening we went out to dinner with the family. Afterwards we swam in the pool at the hotel. The kids had so much fun! Ransom is my little buddy, he's so cute. Tyree is not scared of the water, which scares us just a little. You have to keep a close eye on her. Everyone slept really good that night. When we got up the next morning the Easter Bunny had come to Hillary's house. Baby Gabe's first basket. Our basket turned out to be a much needed crock-pot. Tyree's basket was full of fun stuff too. She's not really for sure about peeps. It didn't take her very long to figure out how to hunt eggs. She was good at it. After all the Easter fun we went to church. The blessing was great. What a cute little family Jake, Hillary, and Gabe. Mom and Dad with the grandkids. Then we had dinner afterwards before we headed home. We spontaneously stopped at the Living Planet Aquarium on the way home and it was great. It was totally worth the $10 to get in. I recommend it. We did get pictures but they are on Kelly's phone. Anyway it was a great weekend, we loved seeing everyone.

Christmas

Sorry it's a little late but here are Christmas pictures. I really didn't take very many pictures, I think I was too busy with all the family and fun. We were so blessed to have most of my family here, and Kelly's sister came up from Texas. It was a wonderful time visiting with everyone. Tyree loves having her cousins her to play with her. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas too, and Good Fortune in the New Year!

Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving was awesome! We drove down to New Mexico to Cami and Jacob's house. Hillary and Jake also came down, along with Jacob's parents Mike and Dru, and Jacob's sister Amelia. It was a great visit. We hiked a couple of days, I only have pictures from Pyramid rock. The scenery and the weather were beautiful. Then we did some target shooting, I don't have any pictures of that. Of course we ate tons of food. The turkey was fabulous. Great job Cami. Just hanging out and visiting with family made it a perfect Thanksgiving.I am so grateful to have my great family, healthy little girl, and amazing husband. I couldn't be more blessed. Tyree loved it too, she loved playing with her cousins. Can't wait for Christmas and more family fun.
