In Case You Missed Him..

In case you missed seeing his face.. I sure do, here is a picture of him. He'll be coming back soon and I can't wait. And yes this is what he really looks like!!!

REALLY!?!?!!

I love you and can't wait to see you soon!!

He has been on a hunting trip since August 28th. I remember what it was like after we had Kassidy and he would be gone for like 2 or 3 weeks at a time. Sure am glad those days are over!!

Dallas's New Bed

Here is Dallas's new big boy bed. Yes we finally got him out of a crib. Poor kid! Now he has more room and he likes it. I guess now he is officially a big boy.

First Official Day of Kindergarten

She was so excited!! This was her official first day. She loves school and she has kids in her class that she knows so it makes it so much easier. Dropping her off she looks so small and tiny walking toward all the fun stuff outside to play on. She enjoys it and that's the most important thing.

Kassidy's First Day of Kindergarten!!!

Here is pictures from Kassidy's first day which was weird. It was orientation and she only went for an hour. I had to go with her and fill out some paperwork. Her first day of school was the 21st of August 2008.

Western Idaho Fair

My mom and Kassidy! I'm so glad that my parents want to do stuff like this with their grandkids. I know the kids enjoy it as well.

The flying water dog. Whatever they were called.

Who's that beautiful girl!

For those of you who are having a hard time. That's supposed to look like Scooby Doo. Kind of looks like him. He sat so still I was proud of him.

It was his first time and his dad and I are so proud!!! :) I'm wiping a tear away now as I type this.

I'm so bad about posting things! (Note to self-start posting more)

After Kassidy's first official day of school. I'll get to that later in another post. We decided to go to the Western Idaho Fair in Boise. It was a lot of fun. The kids got their faces painted and they rode on some rides. Yeah Dallas actually went on some rides. Pretty hard to believe. He had fun. Better at the fair than at Lagoon. But he does take after Luke as far as rides go. Anyway... We had a good time eating, going on rides, watching the dogs, going to the petting zoo, and walking around looking at things and more things. However we really didn't see any freaks. Guess it's true that they do come out at night. So sorry no pictures of any wierdos or the people from the hills. Enjoy the pics!!!!

Where is Dallas?

Dallas is one funny kid! He fell asleep just like this. He was playing with his cars in our bedroom and it got really quite. I asked him what he was doing and he told me laying down. I came to check on him and he had fallen asleep! Yes, I did take the blanket off of his face.

Kittens!

We started feeding this cat that was hanging around the neighborhood. Mainly because the kids were playing with it and I felt bad. She got pregnant and a few weeks ago and had her kittens. She had 5 of them. Sorry if the picture is a little bloody. I'll take some more soon. They are so fuzzy and cute! If anybody is looking for a kitten we have 3 to give away. Let me know.

Are You Jealous Ladies????

This is the man I married! And I LOVE HIM!!!

I cut my hair! :) In case any of you cared or wanted to know.

Lagoon!!!

Kassidy on her stork.

It was so hot that day! Look at Dallas's cheeks, he was so miserable and then Kassidy is haming it up for the camera.

Dallas didn't want to stay on the ride. So Luke eventually took him off.

Still haming it up for the camera and Dallas could care less. His poor cheeks are so red.

This was the last ride they went on. Dallas didn't want to go on anymore and Kassidy didn't want to go by herself.

Here's Luke telling him to ring the bell and to get his hands in the boat. A minute later the lady got after him for dragging his hand along the side.

My mom is on that ride and apparently this lady wanted to get face time.

This was the first ride they went on. It was so dark in there.

I know you loved the commentary with all the pictures! :)

We got to Utah Friday night and went out to dinner with Jason, Shana, Karli, and Jessica. Jessica was in town for Sam's softball games in Park City. It's been a while since we last saw her so that was nice. Karli is getting so big!!

That Saturday we woke up and went to Lagoon and it was so HOT!!! When we ended up leaving the car said the temperature was 102 outside. Dallas didn't want ride in the stroller so Luke had to carry him all day. I felt bad for him! I was just glad it wasn't me carrying him around.

We got up and left on Sunday. It was a great trip!!

Twin Falls Temple

My son has to make sure that it is still there apparently! I don't know what Kassisy is doing? Crazy kids!!!

On the 25th of July we went down to Lagoon and along the way we stopped at the open house for the Twin Falls temple. It's so beautiful! My parents went with us as well.

It's nice that people who don't belong to the church can come in and see what it is all about. As well as non temple recommend holders.

My dad is from Declo, Idaho so the stake was in charge of hosting that day and he saw alot of people he knew and some relatives as well.

It was so hot that day!!!

4th of July

For the 4th of July we went camping up at Sagehen with most of Luke's family. It was a lot of fun and the kids had a great time playing with their cousins. We played games, talked, and ate. Friday night we drove to Cascade and watched the fireworks by the lake. We sat on the golf course and with that many people you would have thought they would have turned off their sprinkler system.. but they didn't.
Sorry that there aren't any pictures but I didn't bring my camera.

Cherry Festival

We went to the Cherry Festival on the 14th of June. We went the last day when they have the parade going on. We met up with Wes & Brandy and their kids. We also sat with Kasey's wife, their kids, and his parents. Kasey is Luke's friend. He was working out of town that weekend.

Anyway here are some pictures of the kids at the parade and on the rides. It was alot of fun. The last picture is of Mallori's horse. Mallori is Nick's girlfriend. And Nick is Luke's nephew. Jess and Marty's kid. They were going awfully fast and so the picture is of the back of her and her horses butt. She is the one in the red. Check out Mackenzie's sunglasses, she looked like such a rock star! She is the one with the white glasses. Halie looked cute in her mom's glasses. The kids had a blast and it was nice having the kids go on the rides with more kids. This was Dallas's first time on rides and he did great. Probably because his sister and cousins were there.

Finally.. Pictures from Kassidy's Birthday Party!

Here are some new pictures. These are way late but oh well. These are pictures of Kassidy's 5th birthday. We decided to have it at Tumble Time. It's the place where she does gymnastics. She loves it. We wanted to do something fun for her 5th birthday. I think all the kids had a good time. If they didn't oh well. There's always next year!

I got sick the day before my birthday. It was on May 31st. I wasn't sure that I was gonna be able to go to her birthday party . That's how bad it was. I had Luke give me a blessing that things would be okay and I ate nothing. Needless to say I was able to go. She got a lot of toys and Thank You to everyone who came. We had the party on my birthday and it was a fun day. Her real birthday was on June 2nd and we just had a little party with Luke and I and Dallas. We also gave her the presents we bought for her. There's also a picture of all the kids who came. Some of the faces you can see. I think I got most of them looking at the camera.

Kassidy's Preschool Graduation

I can't believe that my little girl is going to start kindergarten this year. She had her graduation from preschool tonight. Grandma & Grandpa Johnson were there and so were Grandma & Grandpa Wood. It was nice of them to come. Here are some pictures of my baby girl. It's so hard to believe that she is going to be 5 in a few weeks. They grow up so fast!!

Trampoline!

About a month ago we bought the kids a trampoline. They love it. It's got the enclosure around it which is nice because you don't have to worry about them falling off.
