My sister hill has been down for the past week hanging out with me, we have had some good times so far. Hill however begs to differ and says she is ready to go home!
We have been swimming in the club house pool tons.

porters park

My family from Calgary is down for the weekend. Today, after a long three hours of church we decided to have a little party in the park!! We have had a sweet weekend so far including movies, wake boarding, cliff jumping, biking, and swimming. Hill is here for another week and then were off to Calgary.

spray park fun

This afternoon we headed to the spray park, this is usually a daily occurance for us, but today I had my camera. I love this 'action' shot of the kids running, David looks halarious!

What a good big brother. He is definatly protective of his little Sadie Lady.

David will now go down the slides without fear.

The Potty Train

David is officially a big boy now. We have been potty training for about 3 weeks, and he has it mastered. I am so proud of him. We made a big boy potty chart, and everytime he went he got a sticker and for the first couple of days he got to call someone (lightning McQueen, Spiderman, Shrek, Sheriff, Little Mermaid etc...) After the chart was full of stickers he got a new scooter.

Sadie's Birthday

Today is Sadie's first birthday. We had a little party for her tonight. She really enjoyed her cupcake.
David was a great helper when Sadie was opening her presents.

I can't believe a year has gone by so fast, Sadie is such a sweet and happy little thing. She definatly has a mind of her own, and she always wants to be doing what David does. We are so blessed to have her in our family!

4th of July!

Fireworks at the river in Idaho Falls
We rode our bikes to the Rexburg Parade in the morning.
Even little Braxton got to ride with us!
Happy kids

We sat with our friends at the fireworks. Sadie loved the firework show, and David's face shows how much he liked it... he was wincing with every loud bang.


Mike and I started dating 6 years ago at the fourth of July, it is my favorite holiday!

We had such a great 4th of July. We went to the Rexburg Parade in the morning and then went to lunch with Brandon and Lyndz. After the kids had a nice nap we drove down to Idaho Falls. We spent some time at Mike's Grandma's house then we rode our bikes to the river. It was packed, tons and tons of people. It was a pretty good show.
