Riding Paulie...

 The kids have been wanting to ride a horse/mule for awhile now and we were finally able to make it work.  As soon as they found out they were going down to Grandpa Williams to ride the went downstairs and found all their cowboy stuff Grandma had made them.  Aren't they cute little cowboy's??

Western Regionals 2011...

 The Western Regional wrestling tournament was in Pocatello this year so even though they don't have a pre-bantam age group for Anthony to wrestle in we decided to take him because we did not know when it would be close again.  For Anthony wrestling kids who are 6-8 years old he did SO well.  He lost his 1st one, won his 2nd one and lost his 3rd one.  He ended up in 7th place and we couldn't have been more proud of him. He was excited to get new singlets and all his Team Idaho gear!  Now onto baseball and flag football until wrestling starts again in the fall....this kid LOVES to wrestle!

And he LOVES his brother and was excited that Owen was there to watch him!

Slip n' Slide...

Yahoo!  It is finally warm enough here in Eastern Idaho to get wet outside!!  The kids have been loving getting into water every day. It usually doesn't last very long each time, but Anthony and Jenna are old enough to get in and out of their suits by themselves and Lydia just wants to live in hers :)...so it works out well. I hope the warm weather stays around for a while.  This year has been quite a different experience...only warm by the end of June!

More fishing...

 We had some extra worms from the last time we went fishing and the kids wanted/needed something to do (or maybe that was me), so Dad decided to take us all fishing!  We went out to Robert's Pond and although the kids got more activity from throwing rocks, playing with dirt and making mud than we did from fishing, we all had a great time getting out of the house!

It is fun to have so many things to go out and do in the summertime!

Ouch...

 Jake was/is training for a 1/2 and a full marathon this year and when he was out doing his training run 2 days before his first 1/2 marathon, he ended up getting bit by a dog. Jake said he wasn't sure if the dog bite hurt worse or the tetanus shot he went and got afterward.  Luckily, he was still able to run his half marathon and get a really good time!!

2 weeks old...

 We took Owen in for his 2 week check up and he passed with flying colors.  He already weighed more than his birth weight....8 lbs 10 ounces.  

He is a perfect little slice of heaven sent straight to our home!!

1 week old...

I really love this picture because it shows Owen just how I saw him in all the ultrasounds I had to do since he was over due.  Every single one had him with his hands right up by his face...so cute!!!
