Kole riding Motorcycle

My nephew Kole who just turned 4 this week loves to ride the motorcycles and four-wheelers. My brother-in-law Branden has a little motorcycle and so they decided to teach Kole how to ride it. He did really well he just forgets to let go of the throttle. He was so funny to watch!!!

Colton got Hurt!!

On Saturday our last day of Vacation we were packing up and getting ready to go home. I took Maddie and Colton into my Mom and Dad's trailer to bath them and Colton decided to climb on the stairs that went up to their bed. Well he fell off and cut his chin open. I didn't think anything had happened to him so I started to walk out of the trailer to go and find Ben when I noticed that he was bleeding. We looked at it and figured we were going to have to take him to go get stitches, but the closest hospital was in Rexburg at least an hour away. Luckily my RN brother-in-law was there and he took a look at him and decided that he could just clean it out real well and super glue it. Colton cried but was really good while they were fixing him up.

Island Park

We had a lot of fun in Island Park. Bill and Colleen went with us this year and it was great to have them. We went waterskiing, rode the waverunners, ran the river and played on the four wheelers. Ben went golfing with his parents one day and they had a lot of fun. We went to West Yellowstone one day and that was a complete nightmare. My kids have cured me of ever wanting to go to West again until they are a lot older. Colton did got sick while we were there, but luckily it only lasted about 24 hours. The kids loved to sleep in the trailer and would sleep in until about 8:30 - 9:00 which they never do at home. Maddie wanted to roast marshmallow every night, however she wouldn't eat them, so we wasted a lot of marshmallows.

Colton is so Cute!!!!

This is Colton just hanging out with Dad one night. He is so cute but can get into a lot of trouble really quick.

Maddie's Dance Recital

Maddie had a dance recital on Saturday. She did a great job. Grandma and Grandpa Willie, and Grandma Barker came and watched her. She loves dancing, and she does a great job. She looked so cute. She did a dance called "I Love Being a Princess." and "Deep in The Heart of Texas".

Slip and Slide

We bought a slip and slide for the kids. Saturday we got it out for them and they had a lot of fun on it. I think Daddy had as much fun as they did.

Maddie Preschool Graduation

Flowers from Grandma and Grandpa Willie

Maddie had her Preschool Graduation. It was really cute. They sang a lot of songs and recited a lot of prom they learned throughout the year. We are very proud of her and are so impressed with how much she is learning. She did a great job. Grandma Barker came to her graduation and she was very excited that "Mother" was there.

Grandma and Grandpa Willie couldn't come to the Graduation so they sent her flowers. She was so excited. When the flower lady dropped them off she asked me if she could have one. When I told her they were hers she got so excited and asked me if she could call "Mother" and tell her Thank you. It was really cute.
