Joy's baby Kru. He is so adorable...especially when he sleeps. He loves cuddling up to my stuffed dog, JJ. I love it when they come to visit!
I think Kru is so adorable. Here is a picture of him outside hanging with the big boys. It was so hard keeping him out of mischief. I don't know how Joy does it with 4 boys. I admire her!Keegan is such a character. He loves to dress up and give himself a title. Here he is an army guy...I think. Earlier he was wearing his Clone Wars helmet. I always love hearing Keegan's stories.
This is Nick and the family pet goat. They got the goats to help keep the grass down. Nick has fun playing with them.

More football pictures.
Justin's dad got him 2 turtles. Their names are Henry and Larry. They are very active and sometimes do the turtle piggy back dance. HMMMMM?
Nick again having fun with the camera. He loves taking self portraits.
Joy has chickens and so we are very lucky to get fresh eggs. Joy pointed out that one egg was VERY large.
When you cracked the egg open, this is what was inside...2 eggs! They were delicious! I love fresh eggs.
Tuesday, I got off work early. I was going CRAZY with the sun out and me stuck inside. I picked up Justin and we went for a bike ride along the green belt. We always love seeing the falls. They are so beautiful and the trail is fun to ride.
Justin being silly. I am so lucky to have him.
While we were on the greenbelt, our friend Liisa called. Her and a group of friends were going to Kelly Canyon for mountain bike riding. They were leaving in a half hour and they wanted to know if we wanted to go. Justin had never been on a real mountain bike trail. When we reached the top, this is what it looked like. It was so beautiful and breath taking. Justin did amazing and was able to keep up with all the "big" people.
Here is Justin and Liisa at one of the clearing in the trail. Most of the ride was in between big tall trees and bushes. Justin got worried that there might be animals in the woods. Luckily, the only animal we saw was a squirrel.
When we were almost to the end of the trail, the rain started to pour down on us. We got soaked and covered in mud. It was awesome. Justin and I rode up ahead of the group so we could get out of the rain. Justin kept getting nervous that we should stay with the group so bears wouldn't want to eat us. He was a trooper and I can't wait to take him again.
Here is my bike after the ride. The picture doesn't really show all the mud that was covering it.
Here is just a sample of the mud we had. It was like this from head to toe. By the time we got home, it was dry and it just flaked off. My car sure does need a bath now tho.
Justin thought it was cool that his hoody kept him clean. Look how tired he is. He fell asleep while telling me he wasn't tired at all.
On our way downn the mountain, something really cool happened. The rain was pouring and you could hardly see a few feet in front of you. Justin was nervous. The road was REALLY bumpy and the windshield kept fogging up. Justin asked that we pull over and say a prayer. He asked Heavenly Father to please get us home safely, to help Mom drive safely down the mountiain and that the car would "function properly." It was priceless. He felt much better after his prayer. While we were driving, the windshield immediately fogged over and you could not see anything out. Justin started to panic and said, "Heavenly Father, I thought I told you to make the car function properly." And with that, the windshield cleared completely and it didn't happen again. Thank you Justin for watching out for us and doing what you feel is right in your heart.
Our lives have become a little hectic. It seems we are always running. Monday Justin started basketball camp. He has really enjoyed it and keeps saying he's improved his skills and can't wait to play in a game. It only goes for a week.
Next week, he starts daycamp at the YMCA. It includes flag raising, camp songs, swim lessons, nature studies, field trips, arts and crafts, skits, challenges, group games, hikes and archery. Some of the field trips they will be going on are: CSI Ropes Course & Planetarium in Twin Falls, Ogden Dinosaur Park, Eat your way thru Cache Valley in Logan, Lagoon, Harriman State Park, Cherry Hill in Layton, Montana Ghost Towns, Lava, Hogle Zoo, Overnight at the zoo, Heise and Riot Zone. Justin is going to have so much fun. No more sitting at daycare. He will be out having fun.
