Katie and Mecco Summer Reading

Mecco and Katie (Ty and Amber's little girls are having fun participating in the Buhl Library's summer reading program. They're learning all about bugs. The big white creature behind them in the picture isn't a bug, but a bat played by their Aunt Reba.

Brandon

Yeah, Brandon passed his swim test. He starts his next class on Monday. He loves to swim.

I added some VERY old pictures of us as kids on the side bar - enjoy!

Little brothers just don't quite understand about princess sister's birthdays.

Calton didn't want to be left out of the picture taking. Besides he's Grandma's boy these days.

Brandon learning how to swim

Today, Brandon had his 6th swim lesson. Today they were working on arm movement while swimming. At the very end, the teacher had them try to get something on the bottom of the pool. This is one of Brandon's attempts.

Father's Day

See Boyd's new chef apron. Steve and Lezlie's kids made it for him--with a little help from Mom. Jayden and Christopher are in the picture too.


Gues where Rob's Economic stimulus check went! At least we'll expect him to add great pictures to our blog.
Bob tries out one of the new lounge chairs we got for Christmas.

Esther gave Bob a Wii for his birthday. Here Nathan is trying out the guitar game.

Sharon and Janice put away the leftovers.

We celebrated Fathers' Day and five June birthdays together with a backyard cookout, three cakes, and by trying out Bob's new Wii games. All four of the kids who live close to us and their families were here. Mary Jo and Brandon both wished Boyd happy Fathers' Day over the phone.

Birthday's and stuffed animals

This is what happens when a stuffed animal falls apart (with a little help.) I'm still finding white fuzzies everywhere.

Chris' Birthday

David's birthday. Do you recognize the cake?
