July 4th in Idaho Falls

Jordan was able to ride in the BLM fire engine with Tom during the Idaho Falls parade. He was one excited little boy!

Camping in Ashton

My Mother and Father came up just before the 4th of July and went camping with us. This was Jayde's first trip camping. Dad and Tom fished while Mom and I went for walks with Jayde.

Jayde at 9 months old

Jayde is now crawling everywhere and getting into everything, which I love. She loves to play the keyboard and dance to the music. She is getting so strong and pulling herself up onto everything. The cat officially wants to stay outside, where she is safe from getting clumps of hair pulled out and the dog just puts up with the ear, eye, tail, hair and whisker pullings. Jayde just loves both of them, including Jordan her big brother.

Yellowston Trip

The first part of August Tom, Jayde and I went to Yellowstone camping with Tom's necies Rebbeca and Samantha, who live in San Diego. These are his brother's children who we all met for the first time last year while on our trip to Disneyland. Acutally, Tom met them before, but they were very young. This is the only "blood" family that he is in touch with. It was really fun and it gave us a chance to get to know them even better. What cute girls!
