Eric's birthday

Six already is just two years he'll be eight and getting baptized. It seems like once they start school all the really big milestones seem to happen all at once. Eric is my blessing in disguise child. He helped me make it through a deployment and gave me something to focus on while Jeb was away. He is still lovey and cuddly. We love him very much and he is always making us laugh with all the crazy things that he says. Happy Birthday Bud!

Boy am I in trouble!

I was doing a shoe open house and this is what Ella did all day long, but with all the different styles of shoes.

Spud Day Fair

Every year we go to the spud day fair in Shelley. This year we went to the derby too. I haven't been to one in so long. I had a ton of fun at it though. This year was rain free. Last year we totally got drenched. The kids all played on the rides and ran around like crazy. At the derby there was a tug of war contest. Jeb's sister, Ronalee and her husband Troy participated in it. Right before they had the contest they sprayed the arena down with water. It was quite fun to watch them tug against each other. I'm not sure who won, but they both came out dirty.

Skyler's Baptism

Our nephew Skyler got baptized on the 12th of September. It was so fun to see him be baptized. I just can't believe that just over 8 years ago Ronalee and I were expecting Skyler and Tyson. WOW how time flies. Pretty soon Tyson will be getting baptized too.

Family Drill

Every year Jeb's unit has a family drill or they use to on a regular basis. This year it was at Green Canyon. Usually it's in August, but this year it was in September and boy is it cold at night up there. We had a ton of fun. The kids went swimming I just pretty much hung out with Conner and gabbed with all the other wives. We made new friends and caught up with old ones. It was one of the best family drills that we have had in a long time. When we got home we were all really worn out. Luckily Conner is a good camping baby and slept all night long.
Jeb swimming with the kids

Eric found these flippers and he looked so cute trying to walk around in them that I just had to take a picture.

I think that Skip was all the kids favorite to play with.

These are the most nasty little things. All the kids decided to have a cockleburr throwing war. Needless to say when we got home I was picking them out of everything.

This is how Ella slept the majority of the way home. Poor thing she was totally worn out.
