Our First Home

The first home we bought is in Blackfoot Idaho. We lived there for a little over 8 years until we moved to Wyoming. I miss all my big trees.

Eastern Idaho State Fair September 2012

 

 

We Love Eastern Idaho State Fair. We love it even more when we can see our buddies from Idaho and enjoy a day or so with them. This is Kolter Miller with his Bud Jaspur.

 

 

  
                                                       You can't get much cuter than these faces.

 

The Fair really does take it out of ya. Jace isn't one to fall asleep to early or take naps so I had to capture the moment.

 

Dad making fudge at the candy store on the fairgrounds. He made chocolate and cinnamon bear fudge which is probably my favorite fudge I have ever had. He looks like he is made for that job.

 

Here we are at the petting zoo. Our friends Bunky and Connie own it a travel all over the country. This really was one of the best attractions at the fair.

 

Here is Connie teaching Sharianne the proper technique.

Resting place

 

This is my mom's resting place. Cambridge Cemetary in Downey Idaho

 

Hawkins Reserviour Spring 2012

 

The Brower and the Geddes Family went to Hawkins to see if we could do some fishing. I don't think anyone of us caught anything. The kids found plenty of nasty slimy snails.

 

 

 

 





Zumba

 

I am a certified Zumba Instructor. It is one of the funnest things in the world. I love the people I have met and the friendships I have made through Jam Sessions.

My boots

 

My new boots. Maybe crazy to blog about but I love boots, and you can never have too many pairs.

 

cute note

Sharianne loves to write I found this right before Mother's Day. She never gave it to me but I thought it was sweet that she would wonder what I would like.  May 2012

St. Louis Missouri

Jace and some school mates had the incredible oppurtunity to go to St. Louis Missouri for the National Lego League Robotic Challenge. This was such an incredible accomplishment. His team won the State championship's  for Wyoming and were able to then go to National's to compete against kids from literally all over the world, Germany, China, Japan, India and sooo many more.The kids were busy but had a little free time to enjoy some of the sites of St. Louis.

 

 

This was most of the kids favorites! The City Center Museum. I would fly my kids to St. Louis just to let them all experience this awesome place. This is all moslty recycled material. The kids can play everywhere under the floor, up in the air in old airplanes, there are sooo many things that it really is hard to explain look it up here if you really want to do something fun. Here is the main website http://citymuseum.org/site/ Here are some visitor pictures I found on tripadvisor http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g44881-d107810-Reviews-City_Museum-Saint_Louis_Missouri.html

 

This is a giant whale you walk straight through its mouth and end up somewhere else.

 

 

Buzzlightyear made out of Lego's

 

 

I took pictures of the teams with the funnest hats.

 

This is what a competition looks like.

 

Check out the green dude.

 

 

The Arch makes any picture look better.

 

Just thought this sign was funny. I have never seen a beauty supply and tabacco company all in one. This one was actually closed down.

 

Busch Stadium!!

 

 

 

 

We are watching the bigger robots compete. The kids had to build robots that could shoot basket balls into hoop.

And just a pretty carrage I wanted to take a picture of.

I hope to go back to St. Louis some day I really enjoyed it.
