I got my deer opening day!

American West Heritage Center

I took the two little kids to American West Heritage Center for a corn maze while Kevin and Drake were hunting in Idaho. Kutter and Quaid absolutley loved the hay jump and the train ride. They had fun. Drake had such a good time in Idaho with his dad. He felt so big.

Utah State Fair Fun

We took the kids to the fair on Thursday with Kevin's family. The kids had so much fun going on the big yellow slide and riding the bull. Kutter thought he was so tough when he got done. Drake got to meet "Smokey" while Kevin, Kutter, and Quaid watched the rodeo. Drake and I walked around and looked at the animals and browsed the booths. We did take the kids to the Box Elder County fair one night and let them go on some rides, but I didn't hav my camera. Summer is nearing an end when the state fair arrives and labor day is over. How sad :(

Salsa, yum yum...... I made salsa on Tuesday. It turned out very good. So far this year I have done 30 quarts of pickles, 14 pints and 2 quarts of dilly beans, 12 pints of raspberry huckleberry jam, and 6 quarts 12 pints of salsa. It's onto peaches on Friday and finishing up salsa.

Firsts

Kutter started pre-school today, he goes two days a week for two hours. It is so nice to get that little break. He goes with some kids he knows so he didn't have a hard time. When we pulled into the school, he said "you're not leaving me here." Oh yes dear I am, and I did. He had a fun day.
Drake started 2nd. grade and loves being in school. He is such a social bug and has made all new friends. He didn't have any of the same kids from 1rst. grade in his class this year. He likes his teacher and his favorite part is recess of course.
One excited boy.
first name tag, he's so proud of his apple

One year ago......

Quaid was born at 7:59 a.m. one year ago. He weighed 6lb. 15oz. and was 20.5 inches long. Quaid has always been so good natured he laughs and smiles all the time. He has been such a baby. We sure love him and having him as an addition to our family. He's my last baby and I have sure enjoyed him. Happy Birthday baby boy. We love you!!

Bear Lake

We just got back from a few days in Bear Lake. We spent a couple of days at the lake, hiked into Bloomington Lake and Drake swung off the rope swing, camped, played, and had soooo much fun. The kids love going to Bear Lake and playing. Drake is getting so good at swimming and man is he tan. Kutter loved the jet skis and having water fights. Quaid loved the sand and even though the water at Bloomington lake was freezing cold, he still wanted to play in it. I love summer.
