Hotdogs anyone?

Last night, there was a fire fighter training on a house just around the corner from us. It was a very old house, rumored to be one of the originals in town. It has been abandoned for some time now and has been falling apart and becoming a big eye sore in town. The current owner donated it to the city, which in turn allowed the fire department to use it for training. It was pretty cool to watch. It must have been pretty exciting because I think most of the town showed up to watch it burn.

Camping at Island Park Reservoir

This past weekend, we were able to go camping with some friends up to Island Park Reservoir. We went boating, water skiing, wake boarding,tubing, and swimming. The kids had a great time in the tube, even my 2 year old. The first day was pretty lax. The second day, it got a little wild and kids were flying out of the tube. It was a lot of fun packed into a 26 hour period. We all came home exhausted and very, very red.



Thanks Pettersons for going with us and providing the boat!

4th of July

We had such a fun 4th of July. It started out at 6:45 over at the school. They had a flag raising ceremony and a community breakfast. We left the kids in bed to sleep and Ryan and I went over for it. It was fun to visit with everyone that was there.

After breakfast, we went home and got the kids up and headed into town for the parade. We met a bunch of friends there so we could all sit together. It was fun to watch the kids play and enjoy the parade.

After the parade, we ran home and got food and headed down to my parents house for a Smith Family BBQ. I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures there. We had some dutchoven chicken and potatoes and lots of salads, Aunt Carolyn's rolls and lots of desserts. We were stuffed, but had lots of fun visiting with family.

We headed home later in the afternoon to start getting ready for the bbq we were having at our house that night. We did hotdogs and bbq and had salads. Right as people were showing up for dinner, we had a downpour so we moved everything into the garage to eat. Luckily it didn't last long and we were able to head outside and visit and the kids ran and played. I didn't get many pictures that night either. I was too busy hosting. We ended up with around 45 people here that night. We had a 2 hour fireworks show and everyone went home completely exhausted.



It was such a great day!

Daddy Daughter Date

Kaylee and Ryan went to a daddy daughter date earlier this month. They had it at the Thompson Farm, which is a big barn that they have restored and now is used for parties, weddings, proms, etc. It was a western them so Kaylee and Ryan both wore their cowboy clothes. They had baked potatoes and chili and after dinner, they learned some sqare dancing. They got their pictures taken. Both Ryan and Kaylee had a great time together.
