Antelope Hunting

Jay took our boys and his cousin Justin and his boys Antelope hunting. They had a blast- My boys had so much fun playing with there cousins that they don't get to see very often!





Later in the afternoon they met up with my dad- They loved getting to shoot Grandpa Stewart's pistol-

Bear Hunting

Jay takes clients bear hunting every year- this year my Uncle Richard and his son Daniel came out to Idaho to go!- They had a great time. Hunter loves going with his dad- I still can't believe how he can go through the mountains- he is amazing for a little boy- when they got to one of the baits, they found a little cub bear that had been dead for a couple hours- Jay called the F&G and they checked it out and let him keep it!



In September, Jay, Hunter, Hannah and I went with my Uncle Rob and Preston and Jay's brother, Travis and his wife Crystal to Cascade to go hunting for a few days. Jay forgot to mention that we were staying out in the wilderness in tents with no toilets or running water- nothing!- It was definetly and adventure- We had a great time and I will never take for granted campgrounds again!

Pumpkin Carving

This year the kids all thought they had to have their own pumpkin- Luckily, Jay was home to help!- I don't love carving pumpkins! After we were finished carving, the boys wanted to carry there pumpkins out to the front porch, and of course, Mackie had to carry hers!-

Dancing Diva!

I put Mackie in dance about a month ago- I wasn't sure if she would do it or not. SHE LOVES IT- She dances all day and I love watching- At first Jay thought I should wait (I don't think he is very excited about going to dance recital's)- Now- every chance he gets, he tells Mackie to do her dance for him!- it is so cute!

Fall Soccer 2010

Hunter and Easton both played Soccer again last season, they are both improving so much. It's so fun to watch them from year to year!- I never thought I would be one of those crazy soccer mom's, but I love cheering them on from the side lines!-





Next year will probably be really crazy- Mackie can't stand watching, she wants to get right in their and join her brothers!- I love this picture, you can see how intent they are watching Easton play!

Back to school

Hunter was not that excited to start school- he would much rather play all day than sit in a class and learn to read and write!- He has a wonderful teacher this year- Mrs.B- She will be so good for him!



Easton started pre-k this year- He is going to Mrs. Jen and so far he loves it!- He thinks he is so big- Mackie is not sure what to do with the boys both gone- She sure misses her brothers!

Summer fun!

I can't believe the summer has come and gone and I'm so far behind!- We had a very fun and busy summer!- We went camping a few times- went to lagoon- entered some rodeos, went boating and just enjoyed the outdoors! In June we went up to Mackay and camped with Jay's parents and sister and her kids!- We rode in to a high mountain lake and fished for the afternoon, I was so proud of my kids, Hunter & Easton rode all the way by themselves and Mackie rode with me and Jay. Grandma Jo decided she wanted some pics with her and Mackie, they turned out so cute!










The next weekend, we went to Island Park camping with our good friends- Matt & Stephanie and their kids!- Once again, the kids had a blast-
Mackie fell into the Buffalo River while watching her dad fish- Needless to say, it ended the fishing trip a little early! We went to West Yellowstone the next day and watched Old Faithful- I think my boys were a little disappointed- they thought it would last longer and be more exciting- the good thing is, we won't need to go back for awhile!-





We took the boat out and had so much fun- My kids all loved the tube and Jay loves to knee board- He is looking a little wore out in the one pic! Madison knee boarded and did such a good job- I even got a pose for the picture. We went to twin lakes and had a little bbq- It's amazing how fast we can plan a party!





Jay and my dad took the boys fishing all the time- they love it!- I'm never sure who has more fun, Jay or the boys- He loves taking them and they love going! It looks like they catch more than just fish- I'm not sure however what that animal is!



Easton and Boedy played in the creek at the Grays lake rodeo- they came back soaked from head to toe- some days I have to remind myself- just think of the memories and take pictures- It does no good to yell at them for having fun! Luckily, I thought ahead and brought extra clothes-
