Wood Cutting 10-14/07

We have been going up to Island Park to help Jase's Aunt & Uncle (Margie & Loren) get firewood. We have had a lot of time working together as a family. The kids get really excited when I tell them that we are going up into the mountains to get wood. What a fun time!

Macy's 6th Birthday

What a fun birthday party we had! Macy didn't care about anything except whether there was a barbie in her birthday cake, and we came through. We had a fun dinner, with Scott & Norene, Mom & Dad, and Erin & Rikki. Macy, with the help of her brothers, opened her presents.

1st Day of Kindergarten

August 22, 2007 - Today was the first day of Kindergarten for Macy. She was so excited to finally get to go to school. She really like her teacher, Mrs. Couch. She was most excited about getting to ride the bus. I can't believe that my baby is going to school. She grew up way too fast.

Chuckars Baseball Game

July 27, 2007 - Tonight we went to the Idaho Falls Chuckars Baseball game. We had a lot of fun. Potandon Produce fed us dinner and we were able to sit at the picnic tables along the 3rd baseline so the kids were able to play on the grass through the game. Jase caught a foul ball right off, so Austin thought he was pretty cool that he had a baseball to play with all night.

Pioneer Day Parade

July 21, 2007 - Today was the Pioneer Day Parade in St. Anthony. They really have a nice parade. Mom, Dad, Brittney,Isabelle, Max & Hadley went with us. After the parade we went to the park and ate lunch. We had a fun day.

Rigby Lake

We spent the day at Rigby Lake. It was so nice. The kids have the best time playing in the water. We took our picnic and just played in the water. What a nice way to spend a hot summer day.

Proud to be an AMERICAN!!!!

Only July 5, 2007 Mom became a citizen of the United States of America! This was a really neat ceremony to be able to see. They really tried to make this special for everyone there. There were 30 people getting their citizenship today from 10 different countries. We are so proud of you mom!

4th of July

We spent this 4th of July in Boise, with Grandpa & Grandma Bird. We had a fun day swimming at the pool. We went to the Ann Morrison park in downtown Boise and found a spot on a little hill to watch the fireworks. It was a lot of fun.

West Yellowstone May 2007

We decided to take a drive to West Yellowstone for Mother's Day. The kids were really excited. We packed a picinic and off we went. We saw so many Buffalo and Elk. Austin loved the Buffalo, when we stopped to see them he would hang out the window and moo at them. We got to Old Faithful just in time to see it go off. We had our picinic at Old Faithful and then drove around Yellowstone Lake. It was such a beautiful day. Nice and warm and lots of sun.

Mother's Day 2007

The kids made me some cards with their pictures on them at the daycare for Mother's Day. They also took white carnations and dyed them. I got one pink one and 2 blue ones. They were really proud of themselves when they gave them to me. I wanted to be able to remember this so I took their pictures with the flowers.

Macy's lost tooth 04-03-07

Well, Macy finally lost her tooth. It seems like it has been lose forever, but she didn't want anyone to touch it. It scared her when it finally did fall out. She was so scared that she threw the tooth. Barbara, her babysitter, found it and sent it home with us. We put it under her pillow that night, and the next morning when I went upstairs to ask her if the "tooth fairy" had left anything she couldn't even look. She had me look first. And sure enough the tooth fairy left her five dollars. She was pretty excited about it.
