update

I have gone patriotic for the month. SO that is why my blog is so festive. I think its pretty fun.

We have been to the wonderful spray park a couple of times. today was the longest we were there and Hunter really got into the water. he would just walk up to the spraying things and get in and let it spray his face etc. I am happy that i have a water baby. And Hunter the ladies man is not only happy about the water, but also the college sun bathers. Today he walked up to three girls suntanning and just started talking to them and flirting!! oh he is funny!

well there is much to update on. Mildred is in the nursing home getting physical therapy for the month. she had a heart attack and has an anyerism (sp?) and so she is there. The story is long so i will spare you. I have gone to visit her and she is always so tired from her pt. We just hope that whatever is best for her will take place, and that somehow we can continue to live here. For now we are here another month, and it is kind of a vacation because she isnt here and we arent obligated to stay home now. So this weekend we will really be enjoying our holiday, other than the homework.

i only have 2 weeks left which i am thrilled about. i am so excited to just focus on being a momma for the fall. I just hope i survive the next few weeks and make it to that point. Alot of assignments etc. it will be fine, just hectic. And kaitlyn leaves monday which i am totally bummed about. it has been so much fun to have her here and to have someone from my family close. i am all alone in idaho. Thank goodness for zak, sam, berret, and tanya!!!!!

So tonight i went to the temple with two old roommates who have been home from their missions for 2 months. it was so good to go to the temple and to be with them. it was a lot of fun. i love the temple! Bethany (one of them) will be watching Hunter the last few days while i finish up and since kaitlyn goes home. Such a blessing!! and hunter will love the house full of girls that she lives in.

Well have a happy fourth! we are going to the parade for the first time ever, going to try to float the river and watch the fireworks in I.F. that night!! WOO HOO!!

Protein! Yum

Am i a bad mother that i dont freak out when he eats mud, sticks etc? Its bound to happen sometime. Of course its dirty, but if i am there or not, its going to happen.

SUMMERTIME!!!

We had a nice warm weekend and today is nice and warm too! So i came home from class and me, kaitlyng and HUnter boy were off to Rigby Lake! i love that place. it is the closest thing to a beach we have, minus the waves. Hunter really enjoyed it and so did kaitlyn. She is such a BIG help. It is so much fun to have her here. We listen to the music in the truck really loud and dance and sing really loud. i love it!! i hope and niece or nephew will come every summer. we are loving it!

Big Juds

of course we had to take kaitlyn to big juds! not big jugs!

Mowing the lawn and GArden

A few weeks ago Hunter and Brad mowed the lawn. Then here are picture of us after we had planted the garden. Samual made the cute little tags for what we planted. We had some tomato plants that were doing well, then the wind and horrible weather came. i hope something grows!!!

Always winter, never summer

So yesterday while walking inbetween classes, it was SNOWING!!!! Now i have been here before when it has snowed in June, but atleast we had hot days inbetween. This is the fourth week of cold, rainy, WINDY weather and i am so sick of it! I want the heat and the sun. I told Brad its like the White Witch from narnia is ruling, its always winter, never summer! he thought i was exaggerating, but oh i am not!
My niece Kaitlyn is here for the month, she watches Hunter while i am in school. Thank your Celeste for that!! When i told her i didnt have anyone to watch Hunter for this month she said "goodness knows you have watched all of our kids, its time we pay up!!" THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! sisters are the best! We are having so much fun with Kaitlyn here. I think her favorite parts have been going to downeast outfitters and making scrapbooking pages and cards with Tammy (brad's mom). Oh and playing with Hunter, of course!! She is from where i grew up in California, so she has been in shock about the weather too.
Anywhoo. that is pretty much it. Oh and i chopped off my hair and i love it!!! but with all this wind it is pretty much pointless to do it. It was sticking straight up the other day, hairspray and wind is NOT a good combination. Oh well.
It is supposed to be warm this weekend. When they said that on the news i starting cheering with excitement. Kaitlyn and brad looked at me like i was crazy. Well what do you expect after 4 weeks of no sun!!

Hunter's Moves

Kaitlyn's camera will record with sounds. So here is Hunter dancing. he squats and will rock back and forth as well as bounce. sometimes he even stomps with a foot. if you listen closely you can even hear kaitlyn sing along!!!
