Labor Day Week-end

We went to Island park and spent labor day week-end. We stayed in buffalo campground. It is one of our favorite camping spots. We took Kailani Klingler with us. She is our adopted daughter. She keeps Kylie happy. Grams & Gramps Cheney brought their trailer and camped by us. It was a very relaxing time.

We went to he play mill that Friday night. We saw Footloose. They sang to Kylie for her 17th birthday. She loved it.We found this fun spot that had a rope hanging from a tree where you could swing out and fall into the water. The girls had a great time doing it. Eric couldn't stand watching so he also joined the fun, Levis and all. I wish I had pictures of him. It was pretty funny!

Back to School

Where have the years gone? Kylie Started her junior year today. She was so excited. We had to do the traditional picture of the 1st day of school.

I found this one of her starting 1st grade, not much change!

Scott looks very excited :)

Anyway I thought it was pretty cute!

The Bike Ride

We took a few days and rode our bike through Montana and Yellowstone. We had so much fun. It rained (hard) for about 100 miles on us. I wish I would of taken pictures of us all decked out in our rain gear. It was pretty intense sometimes. We spent the night in Chico Montana at a little hot springs. The hotel was pretty cool. It was pretty old. All the rooms on one floor had to share the bathroom and showers. The room had a sink in it which was nice. Sounds kind of sick but it really was ok. The park was beautiful. It really was just a nice time!

Summer Time Fun

We had a busy month of June. On the 9th Kylie and I went to girls camp. It was my 4th one as the Stake Young Women's President. It has been fun to be there with Kylie all these years.
Then the next week Stacie and the girls came home and I met them, Kim, Kylie and Starla in Salt Lake. We had a fun sisters retreat for a few days. We had all the kids, one day Stacie's sister in law watched ALL the kids, except Sofie, so we could go and have pedicures and do some shopping. Thanks tons Brooke!
After our fun time together we headed to Lava hot springs for our Cheney Family Reunion. It was fun to see everyone. Even my sister Sue, she lives in Rexburg but it's hard to get together. We all had fun visiting. The only problem was is it wasn't long enough. Thanks Sue it turned out great!
Then it was back to Rexburg and all we did was play - Rigby Lake, the zoo, the museum, water games in the yard, lots of eating. Then it was the 4th of July. What a fun time. Stacie, Whit, Kim, Sean and Kylie all ran in the Fun Run that morning. They all made it and had pretty good times. Way to go Kids! Starla's Mom and Dad came to watch the parade with us and then came over later for more food. The boys did the great fireworks show. Who needs to watch Melaleuca fireworks when you have "THE BOYS" show. It was awesome. What a fun time everyone. It is way to quiet around now. I love you all!

Grandkids!

We have had a fun month! It was fun to have all the kids home. I'll post more about summer later but I had to post this picture of the grandkids at G's dairy. To cute!

Robin's

This spring I hung my springtime basket out my front door. With in days two Robins started to build a nest. It has been a fun process to watch. For the first week or so the Mom would get really mad every time we would go out the door, she would attack anyone coming to the door. After awhile she settled down and remained pretty calm as we would come and go. We started to call her Mary. I would say hello every mourning. About two weeks ago all four babies flew away and we haven't seen them since. I thought it was a pretty cool thing.

Empty nest!
