Farm Boy

A few weeks ago Justen and Glen got a truck full of grain. Mitchell thought it was great. He would have played in that dump truck for hours if we would have let him. He made me a little nervous when he was putting his head through the hole at the end of the truck. All in all, he had a fun time helping his dad and Papa unload the grain.

Last week we headed off to the Eastern Idaho State Fair. Justen's horse Duke ran on Monday, so we spent the day at the fair seeing the animals. Mitchell loved the sheep and pigs. I went out before we went to the fair and purchased a child leash. I swore I would never own one of these, but I am sure glad that I had it. Mitchell was able to have a little freedom and I could still keep track of him. On Tuesday night we went down to the rodeo. Mitchell loves to watch all of the events, though he was quite concerned about the cows during the calf tying. He kept telling us the "Moos were owwy" and then when they would let the loose he would say "Moo's go, go, go". Needless to say we may not have a calf-tyer on our hands. All in all we had a good time.

Summer Fun

Here are a few pictures of our fun summer!

Jumping in the Rain

This summer we got Mitchell a trampoline, he loves it! He constantly wants to go outside and jump on the tramp. The other day he wanted to go outside so bad, but it was raining really hard. I think I turned my back for about a minute and he was gone out the back door running for the tramp. He loved jumping on his tramp in the rain. Boys will be Boys!!

Beagle

A few months ago a beagle showed up at our house, I thought that maybe after awhile it would go home. Apparently it likes it here and has decided to stick around. Mitchell loves her, we named her Daisy, but I still call her Beagle and Mitchell calls her Puppy. Here are a few pictures of Mitchell and his puppy.

This old Cowboy Hat

Mitchell's favorite aunt Becca bought him this awesome black felt cowboy hat for a dollar at a second hand store, well of course, he loves it. He calls it his "Wee-Ha" and is constantly running around the house in it. He loves to wear it when he and Papa Glen are dancing around the kitchen.

Relay for Life

I am really late in posting this, sorry! A few weeks ago we all participated in Relay for Life, which is a fundraiser for cancer research. For those of you who don't know, Justen's sister Rachelle was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 14. She is doing awesome today and is actually just a few weeks away from graduating from college (Congrats Chelle!). We are all so grateful to have her with us, so we all felt that this was important to do. We were up all night long eating, laughing, and walking the track at Madison High School. Our team name was "Chelle's Angels", we sold food and drinks at the relay. Justen, Rod, and Paul Korth built us this awesome "bar" to sell everything from. We were in the top three for money donated. Hopefully next year we will be able to do even better. here are some pictures of our exciting night.
