COWBOY UP

Here he is in all his glory. I am so proud of T.J. for trying it. After, he told his dad next time to do the helmet up tighter so it doesn't fall off. He is so awesome!

The Rodeo was so cold we only made it half way through. Good thing T.J. was at the FIRST. The kids had so much fun watching the bulls, and horses. Kye even got into it with his clapping and yelling. The kids absolutely had the time of their lives.

Bannock County Fair 2009 in Downey Idaho

We had so much fun this year at the Fair in Downey. From FREE kids games every day to all the contests the kids were able to enter. T.J. and Kye both rode their first horse. T.J. is totally hooked on the cowboy scene now! He also rode his first sheep. Kye participated in the cutest baby contest. What do you think is he cute or what? Braydon did everything he possibly could. Take a look at all the things we did!

Fair 2009

Braydon and T.J. worked so hard on their boots for the fair. They both got BLUE ribbons. I am so proud of them. Braydon's boot is the Cowboy Cactus Sheriff, and T.J.'s boot is the Goofy Giraffe Deputy. All the boys entered the tallest weed contest. They all won second. Way to go guys!

Slip N' Slide Downey 2009

While in Idaho this past week we set up the slip N' slide. The kids had an absolute blast. Grandma Dahlke has a small hill just big enough for the kids to have alot of fun on! Enjoy the great pictures.

Feeding the DUCKS

So while Dillon was with us we went to feed the ducks. We had a really hard time finding the ducks at the pond. I think the Eco system might be off down there, because the last few times we have been down there things just haven't been right. But we finally found them, and they were very hungry! Dillon liked the cat tails more than the ducks.
Kye just wanted to eat the bread himself!

T.J. is getting really good at throwing the bread out. He is always concerned about all the ducks getting some.

Dillon and Braydon got to feed the ducks from the bridge.

We even found the baby ducks. My how they have grown over the summer.

Natural History Museum

So our family decided to take advantage of the Utah Museum of Natural History FREE day. For those of you who do not know, the Museum is free to everyone every FIRST Monday of the month. Since we had Dillon for the weekend we decided to go check out what all the fuss was about. They had so much fun. If you haven't checked out the Museum lately you should really go out there. I think the FROGS were the highlight of the Museum. Dillon even found the red eyed tree frog.

Kye thought that digging for bones was the BOMB!

Braydon and Dillon got a lesson in how water moves sand in rivers.

T.J. DON'T throw the sand!
Not for sure if you were to climb on here, but I took the picture anyhow. Isn't he so cute.

The boys learned all about early American cave dwellers, and Indians.

All in all the boys had so much fun. We were there for 3 hours! What more could boys want to learn about. Bugs, Rocks, Water, Frogs, Dinosaurs, and lots lots more!

Home Made Granola Bars

Camille has a really great recipe for home made granola bars. This uses my food storage, and it looks really good. I need to try it. Thanks for sharing Camille!
