Grandpa Chapman

My Grandpa Chapman has been in and out of the hospital and nursing homes for the last month. We went to visit him to lift his spirits. He was the envy of the whole place with two cute girlys sitting on his lap. This is Julia, the little girl I am watching for a friend.
We love you Grandpa!!

When the Boys are away the Girls get to PLAY!!

With all the boys gone at school, us girls are having a ball doing all kinds of girl things! But we really do miss them all so much.

This is Sandy my parents dog. While they were out of town we watched her. Lily just loves her. Sandy is so good to her to, she actually puts up with her.

The Boys 1st Day of School!!!

And there off.
Daxton is in 2nd grade and so excited.

I cannot believe it. Gehrig is in Kindergarten all day.
I think I am the one that is sad. He cannot wait to go.

Lily of course had to take a picture like the boys with her backpack
(that is a baby alive doll in a carrier).

Could they get any cuter!!!

They decided that they wanted to ride the bus.
Love the hat Dax!!

Gehrig was to quick getting off the bus. sorry about the picture. But he loved it.
He cannot stop talking about it.

My Baby turns 2!!

Aunt Tammy could not wait for Lily's party the next day to give her her gift. So Lily got an early present that she loved. Thanks Tam.

It's Party Time
I was so excited for Lily's party. I bought her some pajamas at Costco that had a Cupcake on them and the ideas for her party started flowing. I decided to make it a cupcake party. I made a sign for the door. Her shirt with a cupcake and clippies to match.

I also had to make little cupcakes to hang from the chandelier. So much fun.
Girly things finally!

Thanks for the help Gammy!

Present Time
Thank you everyone for the great gifts. She loved all of them.

She was not so sure about everyone singing to her. We practiced and practiced blowing out the candles. No such luck. Maybe next year.

Yummy!!

In all the years we go to Bear Lake I have always wanted to ride bikes thru the town. I finally got my way. It was not as much fun as I thought it would be. Hard work. It was a good thing we had extra help with the bike.

Our Friends the Owen's were up there with there family too, So we figured a boat day with the kids would be fun. And they sure did have fun!!

Papa and Lily

BOOM- BANG- FIREPOWER!!!
I need to point out the sick tank top my husband is wearing. That is all he wanted for his birthday. It was a dollar at the Dollar Tree. He is so easy to please. And frugal!!!

Is that not a great view!!

Every year we come up to Bear Lake we TRY to go fishing. So far for the last 3 years we have failed. Poor Papa. This year we went up past Monpelier to a spot the locals say is great. The boys were so excited. They sat with there polls and nothing. So Gammy and I decided to drive over to the resevor accross the street. By the time we got back still not luck. At that point there were bugs everywhere and Daxton's face was puffing up because of his allergies. So Daxton, Lily and I were in the car right next to the boys fishing. Gehrig had gotten a chair to sit on. It was one of the chairs that fold up into a bag so it was very flimpsie. He sat down in it and it started to fall but he caught himself. The next time he was not so lucky. He fell staright in the water. I wish you could see the water. It was so nasty, the thought of it gives me anxiety. Gehrig was such a trooper. He hung on for dear life. We had to take off all of his clothes and he put on Ryan's shirt. I wish I had a picture. We have so many great memories and that is one of my favorites. Thanks for trying Papa. We will get it one of these years. Oh, as we were leaving 2 more car loads of people came. And within 5 minutes of the people getting there, they caught a fish!! Funny!!

The boys driving the boat. They did great.

Half the time Gehrig was looking down not even watching where we were going.

Paris, Idaho Park

After the farmers market in Montpeiler we headed off to

Subway for a picnic lunch at the park.

Thank you Gammy and Papa for a great week. We enjoy so much coming up to the Lake House to be with you guys. You know my boys love it when they start asking "When are we going to Bear Lake?" in DECEMBER. We love you both.
