BUNNY

K so kiera was finally over the monkey thing although she says that she won't give up. The next thing on her list was a bunny. She was actually wanted one for her birthday. Matt and i must had said no a thousand times but she was persistent. The day before the party she was at her grandmas and she texted me saying, "its not to L8 2 get me a bunny." I replied saying "how many times do i have to say no." So we got to the party and after she had opened the rest of her presents a bunny was brought in. She was so excited. I am sad that we did not get any pics, but here are a few that we took at home.

monkeys

time for x-mas shopping. i've trying to figure out what to get for my kids. i asked Kiera what she wanted and she replied "a monkey", she had even found a breeder. after that she constantly was trying to convince me that buying a monkey isn't that crazy. she even made this video.

this went on for days. she finally gave up when she e-mailed a fish and game worker and found out that it is illegal to own a primate in idaho

We finally got our garden planted. We have lots of different things planted. Everyone is very excited for everything to be ready to eat.

Camping

Last year, the summer went by before we were able to go camping so this summer we went up to Cascade. We were rained on Quite a bit but we had a lot of fun     

 We just put our pool up. The kids were so excited.

They couldn't wait to go swimming so the next day 

they hopped in the pool but didn't stay in very 

long.

Nature Photos

   When the flowers in our yard started to bloom my oldest daughter a Kiera started taking some 

pictures of them. They turned out great and so when we went camping she decided to take some more of the flowers and the creek.

Summer Sucks!!!

This is the last trip of the year and as always Matt is pushing the limits.

I finally made it!!
