Shooting stars


Last night was very sweet. I set my alarm clock for 3am and woke up Brandon and my husband. We then took a couple of blankets to the back yard and snuggled up and watched the shooting stars. I tried to show Brandon the lunar eclipes a couple of months ago but missed it (wrong night). We got up at midnight on Thursday but didn't see any (shooting stars) so it was very nice that last night everything worked out. Our two kitties even came out and watched with us :)

Family Vacation 2010

For our vacation this year we went with my parents, one brother and his wife, one sister and her husband/kids up to Idaho. We spent a week roughing it at MFR. Here is Brandon and Jayden (his cousin) riding a train at the 4th of July picnic.


We went looking for a place to fish and my Dad's car overheated and my sister's car had a flat tire...our car made it. lol. Anyway while the guys were fixing the flat tire my sister and I with Brandon and Jayden decided to walk to the lake (her other kids stayed behind to help). The kids kept picking up rocks and for this picture they decided to put them on their heads. sigh!

The ranch has this cool slide that the kids loved to go down. Here is Brandon going down for the 100th time lol.




Here are the kids getting ready to go river rafting. Looks like fun!



Going fishing.










Here is Brandon and Daddy. Brandon had just caught his very first fish! Boy were we (and still are) proud! Only 6 years old and he caught 4 fish during the whole trip.
