Chuckars Game

Last night we went and watched the Idaho Falls Chuckars baseball game. We were able to sit where there was no very many people . Most of the people that were around us were sitting down in the grass. Tim had said that it would be really good seats and that maybe we would get a foul ball. He said that they are really good about giving the foul balls to little kids. Well not long into the game a foul ball was hit our way and Tim told the guy that picked it up that we had a little guy so they tossed it to him for Paxton. We all had a really great time and maybe we will return for another game soon.Paxton and his foul ball.We will be taking off for camping tomorrow and coming back on Friday evening so I will post more from our trip when we get back.

Garden Update

Our garden has been doing really well. We have about 6 tomato plants out of the 8 that have started producing tomatoes, squash that is producing its flowers, broccoli and cauliflower that are both doing really well, and peas and green beans that have plenty on them ready to pick. Last night while Chad went to irrigate I went out and picked green beans. This is the 1st picking and to my amazement there was a lot more than I had expected.

Tessa Helping

I was working on the laundry yesterday and when I took the clothes out of the washer to put them in the drier Tessa decided that she needed to help. Instead of putting new clothes in the washer she got in instead. What a wonderful memory.

I'M A GIRL!!!!!!

4 Wheeling with Daddy

The other night Chad fired up the 4wheeler to take Paxton for a ride after seeing how many fence post we would need to build a fence to let the animals graze the pasture. Paxton has a lot of fun riding the 4wheeler with Chad and of course you can't take one kid with out giving the other one a ride also. Paxton and Tessa both got to ride with daddy alone and the Chad took both of them for a little ride. Don't worry mom Chad was careful and went slow with them. Hope all is well with everyone.

Update

I hope that you all had a great 4th of July. Me and the family went camping over the weekend and we had a blast. I will put photos of our trip up once I get them off of Chads camera. My pregnancy is going really well now. I am starting to feel a lot better and not as tired. I will be going to the doctor on the 17th for my 20 week appt. We will have an ultrasound that morning so we will know very soon what we will be having. I will update with ultrasound pictures at that time. I am really excited to be able to know what we are having so we can start deciding on a name and so Paxton can now if he get what he wants-- a baby brother. Hope all is well with everyone. Check back later for camping pictures.

Blackfoot Pride Days

Last weekend was the start of Blackfoot Pride Days. It is a time filled with fun events for families and tons of stuff for the kids to do. I had my mom come up on Friday night after work, since Chad had to teach a make-up class. We went to Rupe's Night to have dinner and let the kids play. During this evening at Rupe's they set up air filled toys and a rock climbing wall for the kids to play on. This is all free to the kids. Paxton started out in the little kid jumping pit and did great. When he got done he asked if he could do the big slide. I was a little leary to let him because it was so big and I didn't want him to chicken out half way up so we went to the next big thing which was the obsitcal course. He did really well and was so excited and really wanted to try the big slide so I said okay and told him that he had to go all the way up and come down. He told me okay and got in line. I did not have my camera at the time because I forgot that it was in my car, but the look on his face when he came down the first time was nothing but terror. To my amazement he wanted to go again. He went down at least 20 times. I sure wish Chad could have been there to see him. He would have been so proud. Paxton was also brave enough to try the rock wall.

Saturday was another fun filled day for Blackfoot Pride Days. They have more things for the kids to do and also a lot of venders set up at Jensen's Grove( which is the lake at Blackfoot). The funnest thing that Chad and I like to go for is the Snow Machince Races on the Lake. Yes they really do drive their snow machines on the water. It is really fun to watch. They have a lot of them that sink because they let up on their gas. This year we were only able to go for about an hour and a half due to getting rain out. The snow machiners kept racing because they get wet anyways but we left because we were getting drenched. It is a really great time for families and tons of fun if you ever get a chance to go you should.
