Erin's Wedding

Erin, just before the wedding. She was worried about the weather......it didn't rain until 10:00 pm.

The flower girl -Zoe (in the cream color dress) and Hadley, hit it off. They were modeling for me. Hadley was so excited for the wedding, she told her mom that she was going to marry her dad....and she was going to dance with him. She did dance with her dad.

Check out this photo from the wedding.

It was a beautiful wedding, with exciting weather.

My sister and her husband are still tired.

ATV and Camping

For the past several years we have gone on a camping trip for Tucker's birthday....This was the first time Payton was able to go. She is a very good camper.

4-wheeling is a dirty job but someone has to do it.

Emily

Tucker---Happy 6th Birthday

We went on a Hike, Tucker rolled his eyes when I talked about the hike, he says grandma it was just a walk, but.....it's my story and I'm sticking to it.

This is Susan, she has her foot in the cold, cold water, why? Well she went on a ATV ride and she thought the ATV was headed over the embankment, so she bailed. The ATV rolled to a stop, on the road, and so did Susan. My helmet lost a visor and Susan has road rash, and bruises. Thankfully she is okay.

Mark caught several fish in Crooked River, but he threw them back.

The Cousins, had a lot of fun.

The last day Susan got back on the ATV, she drove a lot slower this time.

Mike's parents usually come camping with us, but they couldn't make it this year. And John and Nicole thought it might be a bit hard camping with a newborn, maybe next year.

Weekend Fun

Gary's brother came to drop off airplane parts and to pick up more work (he restores warbirds too). So after spending all day of Friday, unloading finished parts and loading up the parts and supplies to make new/restored parts for a P51 they decided to spend Saturday in the mountains of Idaho riding ATV's

We road 35 miles to the Graham airstrip. Not much to look at.... but that's why Mission Aviation Fellowship trains their pilots on Idaho's back country airstrips.

I think that riding through the streams is the best part of the ride..... I let Bryan ride my ATV, which meant that I rode behind Gary. I didn't remember how much I got bounced and bumped around. I'm still sore.

Sunday, the power was out for several hours, Gary was happy, he was able to get out the generator and make coffee and breakfast. He loves to use his equipment.

The Lineman Rodeo and Graduation

Today, I got to tour the school John has been going to for the last 15 weeks.

Training building....Doll houses.

John won first place in his rodeo event....not sure what he did, but he did it well.

His team won first place at the rodeo, this is John...not the one hanging, the one driving. One of the events was rescuing a dummy. John was sending the victim to the top of the pole, so the climber could do the rescuing.

Family members got to ride in the bucket....Hadley loved it.

John gave us a private climbing demo, I asked him why he wasn't climbing in the rodeo, and he said he wasn't going to take any chances of getting hurt, he's ready to get a job.

Future Lineman? I think Hadley still wants to be a Princess.

I'm proud of you John.

A PERFECT FIT

Hadley is a wonderful big sister. She has already changed a diaper. ( Her other grandma is just out of the picture, just in case)


Last weekend, kept me very busy. I was surprised, I enjoyed it so much. I thought I would be tired come Monday morning, but no. Last Friday after work, I picked up Emily, Tucker and Hadley-- so we could have a sleep over. Gary was on an over night camp trip, and since Mike was with him, Amy came later in the evening to spend the night too. She doesn't like spending the night alone Anyway, when I picked Hadley up, I held Jillian, and I thought to myself how wonderful it felt to hold such a tiny baby in my arms, she fit perfectly. Friday night while we were watching a Disney movie, Hadley jumped in my arms and hugged my neck during a scary part. I thought how great is was to have a 3 1/2 year old in my arms...she fit perfectly. Saturday morning, I left Amy and kids and headed to Susan's to Baby sit Payton, Susan and her husband were with friends floating the Payette river. I enjoyed spending time with Payton, I held her in my arms and rocked her, and it felt so great to hold a seven month baby in my arms, she fit perfectly. I'm sure Emily 10 and Tucker 5 would have fit perfectly in my arms, but they were busy playing with and entertaining their cousins.

Amy brought Emily and Tucker, over to help watch Payton. Emily is helping Payton stand, it won't be long before she is walking all over the house.

Sunday, Susan had a bridal shower for my niece, Erin. She and Andy will be married the end of August. I wish them a long and happy marriage.

This weekend, I stayed home, and did house work....a little anyway.
