Summer Fun











The boys were out of school June 18th and had to leave for Florida on the 29th so we had to get in some fun summer activities before they left! We headed to Silverwood! Landon's favorite ride!











This is the first roller coaster Brad has been on! He and Caden were the brave ones this time!






Don't all my men look so cute in their matching shirts!















We also went to Lake Coeur D'Alene with friends.









Let's Party!

The beginning of June we did a joint birthday party for Landon and Caden. We had about 25 boys running around the house! We played games and had cake and ice cream!

Memorial Day trip

For Memorial Day we headed up to Priest Lake to go camping. We left early Friday to make sure we could find a camping spot. After all, it is the busiest camping weekend right??? Maybe if it wasn't raining the ENTIRE weekend! Needless to say we were about the only ones in our campground!


All the boys had fun fishing and riding their bikes around. We played games in the tent (and realized that Brad is not allowed to eat chili anymore!)





Notice the pavement is wet in EVERY picture!


Brad taught the boys some of the techniques for mountain biking!



Landon taking a break from the action




This poor fish was caught over and over again!



Caden caught the biggest fish of the weekend


Our first trip as a new family, and we had a great time! I can't wait for all the ones to come!

Mighty 6 year old

On Landon's birthday we went to Chuck E Cheeses for dinner. The boys had fun eating pizza and playing games. I can't believe that my baby is 6! He makes me laugh so much and the crazy faces he makes keep us all wanting more. You are my snugly one and I don't want you to ever grow out of that! I love you!


Field Trip time..

Landon had a kindergarten field trip to downtown to eat at the Olive Garden and to see the play Pocahontas. (May 26th 2010)


Crazy faces!!

Of course he had to take his turn going down the red wagon slide!

The long drive home...

On May 20th I flew down to AZ to get my husband back!! Even though it had only been 10 days it felt much much longer :) So, we packed him up and cleaned out his condo. Ate at Cafe Rio a few times!! His family threw a reception for us at Gingers house on Saturday and after that we hit the road. We rented a small U-Haul trailer to tow behind his truck. The first night we stopped in Flagstaff. Then on the 23rd we drove 12 hours to Utah. We stopped in Payson to see Don and Marylynn. Then we made a stop to see Brads dad. He had not seen him since he was 8. It was a hard decision for Brad, but int he end he looked him up and called him. It was nice to meet him, and it turned out to be a good stop. Both father and son were able to say what they needed to say and I hope that they will be able to continue to work on their relationship. I am also so glad that I was able to be there with Brad.

So, we sleep in on Monday morning and wake up to four inches of snow!! Luckily by the time we left most of it had melted.


We drove to Missoula and stopped for the night. I love that area it is so pretty. We pulled off an exit by the river to take pictures and it smelled horrible. Pretty soon we realized why! There were dead deer and other animal carcases and body parts everywhere! It was weird!



We made it back HOME (yes Brad Spokane, WA is now your home! At least for now!) on Tuesday just in time for Cadens orchestra concert! Now the real fun begins! Living the life of a family.
