Grandpa Joe's visit

 We have been very busy.  We saw all grandparents in one week.  My dad came out for the weekend and it was packed with fun.  First we picked weeds.  I know not so much fun but I had to do something in my garden.  Getting use to the new way it adds pictures so it is a little backwards.  Here is a great picture of kids at Moon Lake.

 Allan and Aubrie so cute.

 Us cooking dinner after a great afternoon of fishing.

 Trinity catching a fish with her dad.  She wasn't so sure especially after one jumped out of Alex's hands and got her.  Not so sure about those fish but if her brothers and dad liked it it must be okay.

 Donovan's second catch of the day.

 Aubrie learning to fish earlier.  THis really made her happy until someone had to take it away.

 Alex caught his very own fish.  Set the hook all by himself and reeled it in on his own.  Way to go Alex.

Donovan's first catch.  This is my favorite spot to go fishing because we always catch something.  It is hardly ever super slow fishing.  Trinity had the biggest fish but it broke the line.  It got wrapped around something and we couldn't get it in.  Afterwards we went and watched the fireworks in Altamont.  You forget how cold Altamont is.  It was a great busy day.

Pocatello

 On our way home from Montana we stopped at Allan's dad's house.  We got to see all the cousins and play in there swimming pool.  We got to see all grandparents and most of the aunt and uncles.  Sorry we missed you Amanda and Derick.  The girls all made Trinity beautiful with toes and nails painted, hair done, and make-up.  THey wanted to dress her up but Trinity wasn't having any more.  Here she is with Kiya and the kitty.

 Taryn, Alex, and Donovan riding the jeep that is powered by an old drill.  Ika can do amazing things so why not wire your jeep to use old drills and not have to buy a new battery.

 Emma and the girls.

Trinity swimming.  The water was cold but she just wanted to stay in so we spent most of the day in and out in and out.  They boys were the same way.  It was great fun.  Tom has all the pictures from his house so I need to get with him and get the pictures.  They loved the pond with all the fish.  They wanted to see the frog so bad but never got the chance or maybe Donovan did.  Trinity threw her binkie in and now we tell her the fish ate her binkie.  It is pretty funny.  Thanks for letting us stop and having fun.

Montana Trip

We made it to Montana and I say that because with four kids it is a feat to make it 10 plus hours in a car. Luckily for me my mom retired and was able to help me drive there. The first thing we did was read a book on grandma's nook and then go irrigating with Grandpa. Donovan loved it. Alex liked it but really didn't enjoy how tall the grass was and all the pokies. Here they are making a dam for the water.

Great picture with grandpa.

Linzie and her family came up too. That is why we went so that we could see her. She ran in the marathon 26.2 miles and she did it under five hours. Way to go. Trinity liked brushing Emma's hair but even with princess Emma around I could not get Trinity to leave her hair in. Emma gave us girls all a treat and painted our toes or nails. She did good for being 4.

Grandma with her girl grandkids.

Grandma with all the grandkids. They just woke up. That is all the pictures I have. I thought we lost our camera for a while that is why there is not pictures of Trinity's birthday and Allan wasn't here for his birthday. But luckily I found the camera and then my batteries died. With 6 camera's around I figured I didn't need my camera I had my hands full enough. Then before leaving my mom's I forgot to get copies of all the pictures. Sad day but I will get them soon.
