Kittens and Swimming

Ali is in love with the kittens. If only they were in love with her :( This one seems to be a pretty good sport and lets her pack it around under her arm and do pretty much whatever she wants with it. It doesn't even run away when she puts it down.....Ry thinks it went without oxygen for too long and is now damaged and that is why it doesn't run when it gets the chance!

 Watch out boys!!! Ali is getting in some good practice!

 Swimming lessons have pretty much been our life this past week. 4 days in a row we headed out for lessons. The picture above is of Cam in class......can't find him....that's because he spends most of class underwater! I don't think he hears half of what his teacher is saying. The boy is part fish!

Up for quick breath of air :)

Paige loves her class and comes home singing a new song everyday. She is quite the little swimmer and would probably spend all day in the water if she were permitted.

4th of July Weekend

Enjoying the Local Events

 Ali sporting a pony tail. It was SO cute didn't quite last all day. Just like all of Ali's other hair dos!

 The girls and I watching the Rexburg air show from A-1 Windshield. Not a bad seat!

 Paige loves the new kittens....especially this one she calls the snuggly one. They were both pretty worn out from a long day of playing.

 Free fishing day at Lone Pine. We caught 7 fish in 1.5 hours. We were the envy of all our neighbors who were not catching anything. Our awesome fisherman day used his magic to help a few of the neighboring kids hook into some BIG fish!

 Paige caught and 18 inch trout that tied for the largest fish caught by a girl for the whole day! Go Paige!

 Paige's first real haircut. She took off 6 inches. Both mom and daughter have not missed our daily fights about combing through the rats nest :)

 Paige and Grammy getting ready for the Rigby Lake firework show.

 Good ol' sparklers

Roasting marshmallows for s'mores over a can of Sterno while waiting for the firework show. It was AWESOME. Sterno works even better than a traditional fire. Nice and slow making for a PERFECT s'more. Thank you pintrest :)

2nd Half Portland Trip

1st Half of Trip to Portland

Here is a preview of our trip to Portland this last week.....more to come soon!

Week in May

 Paige had her first dance recital this weekend. It was pretty much an all day affair on Saturday but very cute to watch.

 The dance director told us to put lots of make-up and lots of hairspray. I had the hairspray covered and thought I had the make up good as well. However, when we showed up we were WAY underdone on the make up. Needless to say....I could NEVER be a pagent mom!

 We took Bridgette and Austin Poole flying and decided to take Cam along because he has been begging to go. It was quite windy and therefore very bumpy. Ry was doing some steep turns and about 2 minutes into the flight he decided it was not fun. When we would do a steep turn he would grab my leg and lean as far away from the window as he could.

 He kept saying he wanted to be done and looked on the verge of tears the whole flight. We decided to land the plane and try on a better weather day. The second the wheels touched the ground (I honestly mean the exact second) Cam had a HUGE smile on his face. The rest of the day he kept saying, "I go flying high in sky", "I not sad". I guess he was trying to convince himself of that!

 Ali decided that wood floor would work better than paper for her latest art creation. Thank heavens for Mr.Clean Magic Erasers!

Just a little glimpse into our ZOO!

This is what I woke up to the other morning. The hair says it all! Watch out world.....Ali's got ATTITUDE!

Here is Cowboy Cam doing his chores...helping dad water trees. What you cant see in this picture is that all he is wearing under that vest and chaps is a diaper!

Ali and Dad.....although the hair didn't relax too much throughout the day, luckily the attitude did :)
