Cody got his bear award and celebrated his birthday with the Taylor cousins.

Just Catching up!

I finished my sprinkler system and planted the grass. Harrowed it in with the 4 wheeler and a 10 foot length of chainlink fence. Set the sprinkler for 4 times and day and presto! Two weeks later.....Instant Lawn! Amazing how fast that happens when it is 95 degrees!

Trip to Teton Valley

Steve Bagley and I went for a 4 wheeler ride Friday night.

Mom and Dad's House

While Christa went to Girls Camp the week of June 15, I took the boys to Grandma and Grandpa Schiess's house. They played in the creek, rode the 4-wheeler and motor bike all over, and explored the farm for two days. Grandpa and I spent two long days and installed a new front door, trimmed the door and windows, and rocked the front entry of the house. Tomorrow we will go fishing!

A Summer of Baseball!

All we seem to do is Baseball! Monday and Wednesday Cody has baseball games with Saturday practice. Tuesday and Thursday Branden, Bridger and Dusty have T-ball games.

A Steep Climb!

Cameras never make it look as steep as it really is!

We moved in about 3 weeks ago and still have a lot to do! We finished the tile the first week in and now we are working on the landscaping, the garden, and Christa seems to be fighting a losing battle with all the dust! Sprinkler system and then GRASS...... soon I hope!

Memorial Day Weekend at Granpa Schiess's

Grandpa Schiess on the boys 90 cc. This fits him just right!

Brooke and Dusty going around the yard and back to the road. She's Pretty brave to let Dusty Drive.

Memorial Day Weekend

Went fishing up in the valley with the Aunts and Cousins. The fishing wasn't real good that day, but the hot dogs and marshmallows were!

House Progress

Outside progress to date

Branden's Birthday....NazzCart!

For my birthday started the day with the last wrestling tournament. For lunch we had a pizza party to celebrate their great season. After pizza, Christa took a nap while I replaced the broken trailing arm on my sled. This evening we went to dinner at the Outback and to NazzCart with some friends. It was great fun. When we got back, we had cake and icecream with the boys.

The Boy's Last Tournament

This was their last tournament. Cody and Branden were not feeling well today, but they wrestled anyway. Dusty has improved huge this year! He almost won all four matches this time. The last match was against another kid with three other wins. Dusty worked him over pretty good and was winning pretty easy, then they thought the match was over so they quit and the ref told them to keep going so the other kid threw Dusty into a headlock before he realized what was going on and pinned him! That was too bad. Bridger won all four of his again, but had two really tough matches. Branden won three and lost one to a kid that was really good. Cody won his first match and lost his second. He pretty much gave up on the kid because he just wasn't feeling well and couldn't stop crying. So after that match we went home. They all had a great season and I am very proud of them all!

Cody's Regional Pinewood Derby

Cody's car did pretty good. I figure somewhere in the top 10 out of almost 40 cars. His average time was 3.165 seconds. The winner's average was 3.141 seconds. He had fun just being there!
