Our week with Pompy

This past week JF's Dad came and stayed with us. The boys love him so much, they call him Pompy instead of Grandpa. He brought his boat, and we spent the whole week fishing and playing in the water. The boys caught their very first fish this week. We Love our Pompy very much!!!

Little Lucy Loo

Have you ever made a decision that was impulsive and perhaps not the wisest choice? well our latest impulse buy is 7 1/2 lbs. of cuteness! It all started with a "get out of the house drive" this past Saturday. We were driving by Cabela's, when we noticed a large group of people huddled around a truck parked in the back of the parking lot. Now I will admit that it was me who suggested we go see the puppies. We pulled in, and I KNEW the second we got out of the car to look at all those little Yellow Lab puppies that this was not going to end well. They were all so cute and cuddly, but the little runt of the litter really won us over. JF: "This is a stupid idea" Me: "Yes, this is a very stupid idea." JF: "OK, we'll take her." So now we are the proud owner of a tiny yellow lab.

Pictures from JF's homecoming

These are the pictures from the day JF came home. My brother took them for me so I didn't have to worry about it , I could just enjoy the moment. It was one of those "once in a lifetime" days!! Our whole family and some of our close friends all came out to see JF arrive.

Connor's 5th Birthday

Wow this has been an eventful couple of weeks for us! JF came home the 30th of May, then the next week was both Connor AND JF's birthday! Connor turned 5 on the 4th of June, and JF turned the big 30 on the 6th. We went to Pocatello this last week for a big birthday bash. Connor had so much fun playing with his cousins, especially Andy. He has turned into such a wonderful little boy these last few years. It's amazing how easy he is, and how he is such a great friend to me! We talk about everything, and he has the most amazing memory!! If I forget how to get some where Connor can usually remind me! He has a great sense of direction that he DEFINITELY does not get from his mom! This fall he starts Kindergarten, and I keep asking myself, where has the time gone?

Better than Christmas!

JF came home on Friday the 30th at 7:15pm. Definetly One of the best days of my life!! When Ihave some more time I will post more!
