Happy Father's Day!

Here is the best Dad in the world!

He works hard for his kids, and sure loves being with them.

The kids think their dad is a superhero.

We were lucky to have Grandpa and Grandma Bills visit us.

We loved seeing them and spending time with them.

Sand Dunes

Daddy took the kids to the civil defense caves and to the sand dunes.

They were begging to play in the sand dunes on the way up.

The sand is so soft and smooth, and there is so much of it.

The hills were fun to climb and then roll down on.

They had so much fun, it was hard to leave.

I was spoiled with 3 hours of being able to do some family history with Cheryl.

I indexed 2 batches, attached sources, downloaded pictures, wrote a few memories, and read memories of my ancestors.

Family History: I am doing it!

Jensen's Grove in BlackFoot, Idaho

We had fun playing with cousins, enjoying the water, and going boat riding with Grandpa.

We are so excited to be visiting Grandpa and Grandma in Idaho.

We helped weed their garden and plant some flowers.

Now we are settled down, watching "America's Got Talent".

Mantuay and Williard Basin Hike

Fun hike up through Mantuay.

We were trying to reach inspiration point, but we were happy with where we ended and weren't sure where it was.

The view was beautiful way up high.

Of course, the boys have to climb a tree.

Climbing up tall, steep rocks is always fun.

But it made this mother a little nervous.

And, SNOW!!!

We ran into snow and couldn't drive any further, so we hiked up the rest of the way.

The boys had so much fun sliding down the snowy hills and having a snowball fight.

Snow in June was pretty awesome to see.

Even Daddy got in on the fun!

Grant's Without Training Wheels

We raised Grant's training wheels a while ago so he didn't have to depend on them too much while riding his bike.

Daddy took them off, and it wasn't long before Grant was riding everywhere all on his own.

He wants to ride his bike all day now.

My little baby boy is not so little anymore.

Way to go, Grant!

Uncle John

James and Grant have a new best friend.

They sure loved playing with their Uncle John this afternoon.

They played the board game, "Sorry" and tackled him.

They "freezed" him with their wands.

Family is sure fun!

First Puppy Haircut

This little 8-week old puppy, Cozette, got her first haircut.

I didn't really like it because she looks more like a schnauzer than a yorkie.

So I hacked at it a bit more, and . . . . . 

now she looks like a rat. :(

I can't wait for her hair to grow back.

Last week I was averaging 4-6 hours of sleep at night.

I was so tired that I fell asleep at church on Sunday, right before I was supposed to conduct primary singing time.

Cozette would wake up 2 or 3 times at night and want to play.

I finally got her on a better schedule of going to bed around 9:00pm and sleeping until 6am.

She has taken a lot of my time teaching her to go on a potty pad, and not eat every little thing she finds on the floor.

But she's a good little puppy, and we all love her so.
