IDAHO

The first 3 pics should be the last 3. I didnt plan this out well. deal with it =)
Jack's first fish.

Grace's first fish.

Boys will bust their rear.

Grace is excited to be going to see Granny and Pawpaw. She's smiling for the camera at the airport.

This is a park near Granny's. There are cool little trails through the brush.


Jack sprat

Western Days Parade went right in front of this Mcdonalds, so we ate, ran the kids, and saw the parade. 3 birds with one stone. Stacy tries really hard to get out of the pic.

Ayden caught the first fish. Jack was more interested in eating worms.

Raegan gained 1lb, so we know he is growing faster than she is losing weight now. She cant wait to be able to eat a full portion of anything. Sometimes she cries, because she cant even have a bowl of cereal. It sucks to be pregnant and not be able to eat anything. Only 8 weeks more, most likely. Raegan will get a big coke and a candy bar when he pops out. Such a simple thing is such a huge deal. Im glad my kids have a mom that cares so much about them. I hope they appreciate it one day.

Grace had a walkathon that me and Jack were able to go to. It was a 1 mile walk up and down hills. It was fun. Jack brought his pet caterpillar, and everyone was so excited. They passed it around, and all the kids took turns giving the bug a ride on their arms. They were all pretty worn out at the end. Some of the parents looked like they needed oxygen.

The crew from Louisiana came to visit us this week. It rained every day. The sun came out for an hour or so on Friday, long enough to get us out doing something. Then it got overcast again, and the temp dropped to freezing with wind. The adults were all huddled up behind the building, blocking the wind. The kids didnt seem to mind getting wet in the cold.

We followed the crowd around to the different rides.

Lawson rode everything he was allowed to

We rode the go carts too, but the video is too long to post. After a couple days of being cooped up inside, the kids had allot of energy, and allot of fun.

New stucco, facia n gutters

New soffet. I cant paint the posts for another 60 days, or the chemicals in the wood will eat the paint. The side of the house will get a paint job before then.

This side made the biggest difference. Allot of wood had to be replaced. So just one more side to stucco, then painting for the finish. The new windows made a big difference. Its nice to be able to see outside, and they can be opened a few different ways. We get fresh air now.

We took a break from stucco to put together a wheelbarrow for Jack. He put all of the washers and nuts on, and tightened most of them with the wrench too. After we put it together, he used it to haul dirt to the apple tree, and put it around the base.

He is a mechanic at his core. He can draw every car symbol there is, knows every type of car on the US market. We cant just walk through a parking lot anymore. We have to inspect every car on our way.



Here he is using his left hand to do it. Im so excited. He also has put together a couple of broken toys, and they worked! The gears in that big head are turning.

Grace let me take a picture!



This is why Jack is going through shoes faster than he should be.
