Sunday Trip

Last sunday after church we went on one of our exploring drives. Joe found an island that is in Idaho but the only way to get to it is through Oregon. So we ate some sandwiches and we were off. The kids watched a movie on the way, so they were pretty good. When we got to the island there were big signs that said "NO TRESPASSING", so I thought it would be a good idea to just call it good and go home. Well Joe thought if they didn't want us going in they would of locked the gate. We crossed the river onto Gamble Island on this one way bridge that could of fallen apart, I was a bit nervous. No one was visible all the houses were the same color, there was a horse racing area, farming area and if you crossed another bridge there was more to see. So that's when I strongly felt like we should leave to avoid being caught. Joe thought I was being silly, but it freaked my out. I was so freaked out I forgot to take pictures of the place. Since we still have Texas plates I decided if we did get pulled over we would just play stupid tourist. Joe said if I weren't with him, he would of gone on and even knocked on some doors until he met someone to talk to.
On our way home we stopped at a historical site, so the kids wouldn't get upset about not getting out. It was a replica of Fort Boise. The kids enjoyed peeking inside and running around for a few min. Then we enjoyed our ride home.

High School Musical Party

Cheyenne had her 9th b-day party today and some of her girlfriends came over to help celebrate. Of course Cheyenne had to have a HSM Party so we decorated in Wildcat colors and watched some of HSM. She got another webkinz and a lot of cool HSM stuff. She also got some yarn so she can make some scarfs. She got some $ from the Johnston's so she is busy plotting her big shopping adventure (thanks aunt christina and uncle john!!) The girly's ended the party with a "tea" party. They even used their british accents during their tea party! It was pretty cute.

Pot of Luck Meet at Mountain Home High

Kenny and Doug thought it would be fun to teach Sam how to play dinosaurs. They had a lot of fun playing together. Sam thought it was funny when they would make the dinosaurs fight.

Caught in action

I was doing the dishes yesterday and Sam thought it would be fun to climb up and help me. After getting up he didn't think it was so fun.

Doug's Meet

In both videos, I think Doug was a little upset with his coach for helping him. He said he could of done it on his own. I'll get the rest of the events at the next meet.

News on Cheyenne

Cheyenne had her PowerPoint Presentation on Monday and she did a very impressive job. She picked Tiger Woods as her project and did her own research on the internet and read a book as well. She put together her project and I was able to see her present it. I was so proud of her! She can now help her Daddy out with all the PP presentations he makes for work!
These pics are from the class b-day party on wed. Cheyenne was 1 of 6 kids with b-days this month, there was 1 kid absent. They had chocolate covered strawberries, brownies, and of course I had to make cupcakes!! My favorite part was watching the kids play games after they ate their treat. It took me back to when I was in school. They had to choose between Head's up Seven up or Who's in the closet. Who's in the closet won, I thought for sure it would be easy, but no one guessed the person who was missing.

Doug's Book Report Project

Doug was assigned The story of Tom Tate and had to build a diorama of what he read. Of course I procrastinated and we did his project the nite before it was due. Luckily I had all the supplies at home! He received an A on his assignment. Yea for Doug!

Sam and Mommy

I love this little guy so much. He is starting to walk and is a super fast crawler. He loves food and when he is done he will shake his head no or start throwing it on the floor. Sam pretty much does his own thing unless he's hungry or tired, then he finds me and starts making noises so i'll pick him up. He definitely hates his car seat, but the boys try to make the ride enjoyable for him.
