Happy Birthday Taydem

Our baby girl turned 4 on July 12Th. I can't believe she's 4 years old. Travis and I invited our few friend over for dinner and cake. Taydem had fun playing with her cousins Kavin and Conner who came down from Idaho. And her friends Kaden and Emma. We had a very fun evening. I had planned a lot of fun games and things for the kids to do. But they all just wanted to ride there bikes. What every makes them happy! Taydem wanted a princess cake. So I spent the better part of the day making the cakes. All she could say was "wow mom that is so cool, thank you." I heard that over and over it never got old. Besides the cake we made seven layer salad and potato salad. It was a fun BBQ and the kids really had fun. Taydem got all of the things she wanted and more for her birthday, including a new bike. We love you Taydem and are so grateful and Lucky to have you in our family.

Quiet Tornado

This is a little out of order. But I can laugh about it now. Before Mom and Dad came down the last week in June for Uncle Buds funeral. I had spent the whole day cleaning. My house really needed it, and the parents coming is always good motivation. So I Finlay have the house perfect. I go to take a shower. Talen was asleep and the girls were watching a move. I come down stairs to be hit in the face by rice. Ya that's right rice! Taydem is covered in flour and taking cover behind me. Taylyn in standing in the pantry, She has all of the five gallon container of flour, rice and sugar open and my smaller container as well with salt and soda. So after all day cleaning, a good time out. It took me another three hours to clean this up. Don't be surprised. She had every inch of counter, sink and top of cabinets covered. The pictures say it all!! What will she think of next!

4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th. The kids and I started the week of by going home with Mom and Dad Yost. We spent the week visiting family and Playing. Travis joined us Thursday to watch the Rigby Firework. Taydem loved the big boom with every explosion of light. Friday Mom showed me how to decorate a doll birthday cake for Taydem. We had a small party for her with Mom, Dad, Thayne, Trent & Viona and their kids. We ended the night with fireworks in the back yard. The girls loved playing with all their cousins and as always Grandpa and Grandma. Thanks for a great week!!!
