July 1, 2011 Party- Camille & Samm families from CDA

Camille, Chris, Kendal, Brianna, McKenna, Katie and Samm & Andrew & Boston family & Bayley came from Couer d'Alene and we had a party with them. We put up a water slide for the kids and I think they had a good time. Danny, Shar, Katelyn, Madison and Jane are here from New York for the summer and Alicia & Alan from Minneapolis are in Twin Falls for the summer. We also had Scott & Rae Ann, Amber, Keenan, Leila, Shane & Owen, Lisa & Ron so it was a great time. We missed the rest of the family that wasn't here. For some reason, I didn't get a picture of everyone and a few of them that I did get were totally blurry. Maybe I need a 'new' camera???

Baby Shower for Alicia- May 21, 2011

Amy, Shar & Ali planned a wonderful baby shower for Alicia. I only have a few pictures as the rest of them didn't turn out very good.

Aydrey- Broken Arm.. April 22, 2011

Aydrey fell at school and broke her arm. She is a pretty brave little girl.

Baby Birds- May 4 to 5-21, 2011

This little bird flew away early Saturday AM. We saw it leave so that is the last of the birds.

On May 18th, two birds flew away and left two birds in the nest. They seemed to be having fun learning how to fly and flew around a lot.

On May 20th, as we stepped outside the 3rd bird left the nest and flew away. Now there is only one bird left. Impossible to think that just a few weeks ago they were this tiny egg.

Christmas Wreath- Bird Nest & 5 eggs Apr 2011

Such a little bird to have 4 eggs in the nest. I wish I could get a picture of her, but she moves too fast and goes behind the tree.

This morning there were '3' eggs.

We decided it was time to take the Christmas Wreath down, but when we went to do so, we found this neat little nest with one blue egg in it. After two days, there was another egg. We don't know what kind of a bird it is-- it is not a robin. Guess we will have the wreath up for a while.

Connor's car was the 'Best Classical Car'. He didn't get 1st-- but he was the best. It was a fun night.

Spring Cleaning with Lisa's help

Garry is getting better from his surgery each day. Lisa spent a lot of time with us, so we decided to clean up a few things that have needed help for a long time. She thought we should clean out the book shelves and give the books to DI. We ended up with giving away over 300 books. It looks so much better. Thanks Lisa!!!

The top two pictures are after the clutter was gone. We still have a long ways to go, but it is so much better.
