I'm Catching Up... Finally!

Ok, here it is... I am finally catching up on my blogging. Beware there is a lot below.

4th of July
A few days before the 4th weekend we lit off some fireworks at my sisters house. Kree was fine until they actually went off... he was a bit nervous. Here he is helping set them all out.

Daddy and Kree just being cute.

Then for the 4th weekend we decided to go with our friends Chad and Staci to Island Park and Yellowstone to relax. It was a great weekend and we had a lot of fun. Here is what we did... here we are at Upper Mesa Falls

I love this picture!

We saw a ton of Wildlife including 4 black bears and 1 Grizzly and her cubs. I didn't post these pictures cuz they are really hard to see and no one would probably believe me. We saw a bald eagle and this beauty... we were so close.

A Family Moment.

The Gang! I feel so short!

Kree loves to copy Daddy.

This has to be mineand Ragen's favorite picture. He is just the CUTEST kid EVER!

So one night we went to the Playmill in West Yellowstone to see Beauty and the Beast. It was so good, but at the beginning they do some fun stuff with the audience including Birthdays, well we pretended that it was Ragen's Birthday cuz I new they would kiss him and they did. I couldn't get the picture right as she was kissing him-darn camera! It was fstill fun though.

Kree was trying to touch the "Big Fish" that were supposedly there at Big Springs but really weren't.

Here we are Forewheeling, Kree ended up falling asleep.

Here are our Friends Chad and Staci, what a fun couple.


Steadman's Waterslide
There is this fun waterslide off the Raft River exit, called Steadman's. Ragen's family goes there all the time, so we decided to bring my sister Kari's family along and we had a ton of fun. There is actually 2 big slides, toys, a zipline, and more.





Here we are about to fall off, but still fun.


Heise Hot Springs
So we decided to go Heise Hot Springs for my nephew Derek's Birthday. It was much needed especially cuz of all this hot weather lately. I am usually not the swimming type but I am trying harder because of Kree. I did have fun though. Here is some of the gang!

I even got in the pool.

Look at this cute kid!

Kree having fun with his Uncle Steve. Unfortunately during the summer Ragen has a hard time getting away from work due to all the fires, so he was not able to come. We sure did miss Daddy.

After swimming

Some of Kree's cousins, Kaybrie and Ellie


Pioneer Day Parade and Swimming
I decided it would be nice to get out in the sun and go to the parade even though it was extremely hot and we were not in any shade. Kree had a great time collecting candy and seeing the different floats.







After the Parade we headed to Ross Park for a swim, again much needed cuz it is just so stinkin hot! Plus my Mom and Grandma were coming into town and they came to watch.


A New Move
We decided to move across the street into my Grandma's condo. She moved to Burley to live with family and we miss her tons. I hate moving, the packing and loading and unpacking and organizing and it never ends. It is slightly bigger then where we were before plus it has a garage and laundry which is so nice. Maybe one day we will finally take that plunge and buy a house but probably not until Ragen is done with his Masters. But we are liking it so far.
A Few Random Things
I feel like I haven't shared Kree's latest changes. He went for his 15 month appointment a while back and he is still only 20lbs 10 oz, what a runt! He was 16 months at the time of the appointment and now he is almost 17 months- flying by! Here are a few other notable things:
  • He is into everything
  • He is talking like crazy. Likes to say: " I love Kree," "Please," "Thank you," "All done or All gone," "stinky," "dirty," plus much more.
  • Doesn't eat much lately, no wonder he is only 20lbs
  • Loves to climb on everything and is good at it
  • Bites!
  • Loves to blow kisses
  • Loves being outside
  • Loves to throw tantrums and plenty of them
  • Has gone 2 1/2 days without a binky- yeah!
  • Can open doors
  • and so much more, there is just so much, I wish I could post it all.

Coming Soon!

So yes I haven't posted in a while- It's been crazy! I promise that soon I will post a lot of pictures. I left my camera charger and cord to plug into the computer in I.F. so I haven't been able to download pictures. But there is plenty to come: 4th of July weekend, Steadman's Waterslide, a New Move, and Swimming at Heise. So I will post soon and there will be a lot so be prepared.
