Out on the Boat

I tried wake boarding. I am very proud of myself...usually I am a BIG coward.
But I hopped in and tried...

and failed!

Due to our awesome Costco card, we bought a huge tube that fits 4 people.
Here's Shawn with Grandma and Grandpa.

Here are Shawn and Kyle showing off.

It was a great time on the boat.

A Great Start!

We were headed up to beautiful McCall, ID with our boat in tow for a week long Family Reunion with Ty's family. We were 7 miles out of Snowville when one of our tires on the boat trailer burst. We pulled over. Ty had a spare tire but he didn't have the tool to get it off the trailer! Long story short, we waited 2 1/2 hours for a tow truck to come and help us get the spare off.

Ty felt like we should get new tires for the trailer just to be on the safe side. So we stopped off in Twin Falls and joined Costco and bought tires! They weren't allowed to change trailer tire so Ty changed them in the parking lot. 1 1/2 hours later we were on the road again!

The upside to this story is that we are now proud members of Costco!

It's also a great reminder that you should always be prepared for what ever may happen.

Cody

Cody gets into EVERYTHING!!!

This is where all our cleaning stuff is...safe, huh?!

I had to remove all of our kitchen table chairs and put up the bar stools so he would stop getting into things. Agh!

Beez Game

We took our boys and my dad to a Bees baseball game last week. It was a lot of fun! We had seats real close to the field. It poured rain but it stopped eventually.

What's a baseball game without hot dogs???

Cody loved having a glove on his hand.

Nick doing one of his weird faces.

There was a cute little train that went around. The boys loved it.

Couldn't resist!

Cody fell asleep on Ty. He looked so uncomfy but he slept for an inning or two.

The last inning my boys and dad went down by the relief pitches for Colorado...

And at the games end, one of them gave Kyle a baseball! It made his night!

The Bees won. Remember when they were called the Trappers and played at Derks Field? Then they were called the Buzz and then they were called the Stingers. Man, stick with a name!!!

Mail Person

I ordered large prints of our sealing pictures. The box was smashed into our mailbox. It ruined the pictures. The stupid mail person jammed it in. How flippin' hard is it to drop off a package at the door???? I grew up with the mailman having to WALK the streets to deliver the mail. Everyone' s mailbox was attached to their house, by the front door. I think those mail persons who have the luxury to DRIVE their route are really lazy. They will do anything in order not to have to get out of their vehicle. We took the package to the post office and the post master said the carrier will reimburse us. It's so frustrating. I was so excited to get these pics and now I have to reorder them and hopefully the package won't get smooshed again.

Helpers Part 2

Nick loves to vacuum. He vacuumed my whole bedroom and did an awesome job!

Cody "helped" me wash the floor. He scooted the chair over to the fridge and got a cup and filled it up....

Then he dumped it on the floor. Ugh!

It was A LOT of water he spilled. It took several big towels to clean it all up.

Shawn took pictures of me cleaning it up. Maybe to prove to Daddy that I DO clean!

Helpers

Trimming the bushes.

My yard needed work. So I got out there early so it wasn't so freakin' hot! I had the boys help me too. They were actually willing and excited to help!
