4th of July

What a nice weekend! We spent most of the time over at my mother-in-laws eating ice cream and watching fireworks! Sunday, we also threw in a trip to the visitors center at the temple. It was nice. While at the temple, one of the female missionaries was guiding us around and chatting with the kids.....maybe I should say Kolton in particular. What a flirt he is! She even called him Kody. And, when we all corrected her, he said "thats ok, you call me that if you want." It was so hysterical! Yes, I already know that I will have trouble with him in a few years. Sunday night we stayed home and lit some of our own fireworks. We had a bon fire, roasted hot dogs, and made s'mores. What a nice evening. It was fun to have Josh with us. He left yesterday for North Dakota. Kolton was extremely torn up about it. I tried to explain it wasn't forever and that he would come back as soon as he could, but Kolton didn't want his uncle to leave at all.
Yesterday we ventured back to Logan. It was so nice to see that town again. We saw Sheree's new house and went to USU campus. Unfortunately, the kids were all tuckered out and they missed the campus. We will have to take them back again sometime.

Dog Show

We had the dog show this weekend. I put Sasha in the fun match...for her first time in the ring, I would have to say she did pretty well! She was shown by a handler named Susan.

Also, Ken has been building a food storage room in the garage.. I am posting a picture of it also. It is going to be awesome!

Fishing Trip Memorial Day

We went up to Howe Idaho on Memorial Day fishing. I thought I would share a couple pictures with you. The kids had a great time even though the weather didn't cooperate. The best part, is the ant hill that is bigger than Kenzie.

Puppies

We have puppies! Masey had 8 puppies on Saturday, but two have passed on :(
I took them to the vet today to have them checked out and their tails docked, and the vet told me that a couple of them are sick and they need antibiotics along with me supplementing their milk every couple hours for a while.......so now, I am a nurse maid to these little puppies until they are healthy and stronger to handle things on their own. It is going to be a long week!

just an update on us.

Well just to update you on what has happened since my last post. I went to Utah and bought a Honda Pilot because I sold my suburban. So far, I love it. It still seats 8 people but it is smaller and better for our family. While I was there, I bought another boxer. She is 7 months old and her name is Sasha. She is going to be a show dog. So yes, I am going to venture into showing dogs. I am really quite excited about this. I hope she does well....or I should say, I do well. She is perfect so I am not worried about her. She is such a sweet heart and bonding with our family really well. Kolton is now getting excited that he only has 3 wks of school left. I think he is now getting burnt out with school, but he has done really really well!!! He is above average for his age. Kylee is getting really excited to start school next year. I hope she gets a good teacher that will enjoy her and yet keep her stubborness under control.

KOLTON!!!!

Yes, he is a little cutie pie! Don' t tell him I said that though....he wants to just be "cool".
He definately lights up my life and I am so blessed to have this little guy in my life. I should add too, he is 7 yrs old in this picture.

My girls

My girls were having a blast today with pictures so I have a few to share..... Kylee is 5 yrs old and Kenzie is 3 yrs old.
