Home, Sweet Home

Chet went over to Parma for convention with Ryan and Jessica this past week! He had so much fun! And I love how he loves to be at convention, meetings, and around the friends! So, while Chet was away, we had fun spending extra time with Zane and Reid and doing our very best to spoil them! They loved it! =) We went fishing a couple of times at Sunnyside Pond and caught a couple of rainbow trout, saw an otter, a mama duck with her ducklings, and an osprey with a fish in its claws! I thought this was so cute how Zane was squatting down beside daddy!

Reid and Mommy had fun watching Daddy and Zane fish while we played on a blanket nearby!

Sharing a fun bike ride together!

Sooo sweet! Zane and Reid fell asleep in the suburban holding hands! =)

Outside fun!

Football stars! Will picked these up at an auction, and the boys are having so much fun playing ball!

Chet found this stick while playing outside, and rigged a gun stand up! I thought it was very clever of him!

Cute brothers enjoying a bike ride!

Reid is so proud of himself that he can climb now! It makes for lots of smiles and laughs!

Enjoying summerish days!

Riding bikes is a big thing in our house! And now Reid is loving to be able to zoom around the house with his brothers! So much fun!!!

We are loving the start again of porch sitting, relaxing evenings, watching the beautiful sunset while listening to the birds and bugs chirp! Summerish evenings are the best!

Strawberry Parade!

We loved going to the annual Strawberry Parade in Lebanon! We went to both the Junior Parade on Friday, and the Grand Parade on Saturday this year! The boys had so much fun seeing all the fun things in the parade, and of course, getting some candy!

Reid and Sherman waiting for the parade to start!

It was so fun to see Myla riding her horse in the parade!

A bit of this and that!

Reid had fun playing hymns before meeting with Daddy! =)

All the cousins went to the Wacky Indoor Bounce together the other day! We looove to bounce!!

Totally relaxed with Uncle Ryan!

Happy Birthday to Reid!!!

Reid is ONE today!!! (June 2nd) We had a fun time celebrating his birthday a day early after Wednesday night meeting with froggy cupcakes for everyone! What a cutie Reid is and so happy and smiley! We love him sooo much!! =D

Cheese!

Reid wasn't sure what to think of the cupcake! He enjoyed eating some of it after he smashed it through his fingers thoroughly! What fun! =D

Memorial Day fishing!

Happy fishermen!

Success! Chet and Zane caught 4 rainbow trout in Foster Lake!

A trip to California!

We loved so much going down to California for a few quick days at my mom's house, and then heading up to Mt. Ranch #1 convention with her! It was a wonderful convention, so nice to see all the workers and friends down there again, and special to share convention days with Grandma!

Grandma's buddies!

Reid has slept in some original places! ...A suitcase, and now a bathtub/shower in the motorhome! It worked great for convention!

Spending some special time with Uncle Gordon and Laura before heading up to convention!

A very special visit...

We loved so much stopping for a special visit to see Wilemina on the way to Mt. Ranch! It was so special to see her again! =)

Jelly Belly's galore!

We went on a fun tour of the Jelly Belly factory on the way to Grandma's house! It was really fun, and a very yummy experience! =D What better thing to eat than Jelly Belly's?!

A John Wayne portrait made out of Jelly Belly's! (this picture is especially for my dad who loves John Wayne!)

Zroom!

We made a lot of trips to Chucky Cheese throughout our driving trip to Grandma's and then to convention...just for a fun place for the boys to have fun and get some of their energy out! They looved it!!
