4th of July 2009

We went to Stanley with Trevor, Michelle and her Mom Susan, Dad Vince, sister Bridgette

and little Drake. It was a wonderful get away. We had some unexpected rain but managed to find lots to do undercover. This is a picture of the look out on the way to Sun Valley.

We had never been to Sun Valley, It is so beautiful there.

Mason's birthday was on the 3rd while we were camping at Stanley lake. we celebrated with a lovely lemon cake.

It is crazy to believe that he is already 14, it happened so fast!

Vince took us fishing and he definitely knew how to catch the fish. It was so exciting for the boys as they caught several.


Tanner was the 1st to catch one as he cast his pole and sat in his chair about 50 feet from us on the island, he yelled I have one and reeled it in. It was SO cute!

This is the view we had from our motorhome. Vince went up on Tuesday and reserved the best camping spot there for us. It was a gorgeous view.

Belly Pictures at 30 Weeks

In these pictures I am around 30 weeks pregnant. Baby Carson is very active, it is an amazing feeling when he bounces all over. We can now sit back and watch my belly move around.

2 more months seems so far away- yet so close, He will be here before we know it. Yes!!

Boating Trip to Bully Creek

We took Mason, Tanner, Cayden & some of Mason's friends boating on July 1st.

Mason likes the knee board best, he was riding double with his friends.

It was awesome weather, the boys had lots of fun!
Allen is jumping on his wake board.

Tanner & Cayden had fun just jumping in and keeping cool! They did so good on the Manta Ray tube. It is wonderful for not flipping over but will lift off the water if going very fast. They were so cute as they were constantly giving the thumbs down to Allen just to make sure that he kept the speed down for them. They were so proudly posing afterwards.

We went to the Fiddle Festival in Weiser on June 25th. Allen was such a sport with taking Tanner on rides. We met some friends and had a good time. I had to sit down about every 15 minutes because my leg is giving me trouble, I have signs of a blood clot but tests revealed that it is not a large threat at this time.

It is something I will worry about after the baby is born.

Tanner is taking swimming lessons at the Ontario swimming pool. He is really enjoying himself, this is one moment he was taking very serious.

He has become so comfortable in the water this year. It is so exciting to see him love it!

Mason always knows how to make us laugh. He was very creative with his scubba gear. Both of our boys love the water and spend hours every week swimming. Mason is getting ready for his big trip to New York with his Grandparent Loni & John, they are taking Mason and John's daughter Tiffany.
They are going to a broadway show, visiting family, times square and more. He promises to take lots of pictures for us.

Father Day 2009

We had lunch with family at Trev and Michelle's House then went to see John & Mom.

Me and Dad



Grama Nancy's Birthday happen to fall on Father's Day this year, it was wonderful to spend time with her and grampa on a special day.



My cousins Brandon, Marsha & their kids were in town, it was great to see them. The kids really enjoyed them.

Trev & Mason waiting for their turn on Ladder Ball. They had a competive game going.

Friends & Fishing

We had a barbeque with great friends and food!

It has been unseasonably cold and rainy so far this summer but we lucked out with nice weather.

Allen took us to the Malheur reservoir to fish, we did'nt catch much but had fun.

Tanner caught himself!
