Wake-Boarding at Jensen's Grove

Today was so much fun! Scott called me on his way home from playing a round of golf and told me to load up the kids because we were going to the Lake. (I'm using the term Lake a little loosely) Scott's partner took our family boating and it was a blast. I hadn't wake boarded in four or five years, so I was a little worried about not getting up. Alas, I got up on my second try. I didn't have any fancy tricks but I held my own. The kids played in the water, ate mud, threw rocks, drank soda and got tan. It was a lot of fun! Thanks for taking us Jerry! We loved it!

Family Day At Leo's

Well it rained today so we decided to head to Idaho Falls for a trip to Leo's. The kids love playing on all of the toys. Here are a few pictures of Kate trying out the jungle gym. This is the first trip to Leo's that she has been big enough to join in the fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dylan had a blast too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The kids loved skiball. I was an embarrased mom as I tried to get the kids to roll the ball and not throw it as hard as they could. Those wood balls make a lot of noise. The picture of Scott would be him having fun playing video games, right before I busted him for using all of Kate's tokens. I guess dad's love Leo's too!

Anyone that has spent a little time with Katebug, knows that she is ga'ga' over shoes. She has to have a pair on at all times. Most mornings I find her in her crib hugging a shoe. Well she saw this pair of Crocs at Leo's and wanted them. I tried telling her that they weren't hers and to stay away. Then, I sat back and took pictures, as I watched her mythodically inch towards the shoes that she knew she wasn't suppose to touch.

 

 

 

 

Congratulations!

Well, I've kept this secret long enough, finally the cat is out of the bag. I am happy to announce that Cody and Laura are having a baby! 2008 is going to be great!

Look Mom, No Hands!

3 years old and riding a bike...what? Dylan is so funny. When he first got his bike he thought that he was really cool because his bike had two extra wheels (training wheels) and his friend Jackson only had two wheels on his bike. After about a month he realized on his own that training wheels were for sissies. He kept asking me to take his training wheels off. Finally, I took him to the neighbors house (thinking that I was really smart) and put him on the two-wheeler to teach him that riding without training wheels would be hard and scary. To my complete amazement he took off on the little bike leaving me stunned and running behind him. I knew that Dylan was very determined and very coordinated, but he surprised me again. When he sets his mind to something he doesn't stop.

 

Relay 4 Life!

...Anytime Fitness super hero Captain Running Man took Blackfoot by storm...

Captain Running man arrived with quite a bang at Blackfoot's Annual Relay 4 Life Fundraiser. Anytime Fitness was one of the many sponsors that helped Blackfoot raise over $75,000 dollars to help in the fight against cancer. It felt good to get out in our community and be involved in such a great cause.
