What we've been up to....

I spent a few days out in Wyoming with my family. Shunae and Jada came into town from California and we met up to see them. I came home a few days later with a new home decor addition to the family room......

Adam's big horn sheep was mounted and on the hall. It looks good.

Love the decorating Adam!

My parents house is now surrounded by a buffalo ranch. The kids love to go outside and look at the buffalo.

Me and my darling niece Jada. I haven't seen her since Christmas, I think. I was so excited to see her and Shunae. I sure miss these guys. I can't wait until Trav is done with school and they can move closer to us!
She is the cutest thing ever!

This is my darling nephew, Wyatt. He and Jada are only like 2 weeks apart and are the cutest things ever! It was so fun to seem them both. I love them both to pieces and their mom's are darling with them and are so fun.

Ike loved Jada. He couldn't get enough of her, and she the same. She saw Ike and couldn't take her eyes off of him. He loved to make her smile and loved when she would rub his hair after his new haircut. She didn't care for Cal much. He got close to her and she'd cry. He was a little too much for her. He just wanted to hold her and pretend she was a tiny baby. It was pretty funny.

Grandpa and Grandma Shelton were pretty happy to have all of their grandkids for a day.

Me and my mom. I love this woman and think the world of her. She is a wonderful person and is such a big help to me. It is always loads of fun when my mom comes out to visit me.
Her and Bonnie came down for a day and we spent it at the pool. It was so fun and we wore all the kids out.

Bonnie and I. I love this girl. She is an amazing mother of 3 girls and such a great friend to me. She is always fun to be around and we get along so great. Our kids are really pretty good playing together and we always have fun together. We love to be around each other and can always find something to laugh about. I am so lucky to have such great ladies in my life. I love when we get together.

We have had a lot of fun with the Rudy girls and Grandma Shelton this summer.

We just finished our two weeks of swim lessons at the AF rec. center. Jane loved it, Cal thought it was alright, and Ike hated it for the most part. Jane did swim lessons last year and did really well, so this year she did just as good. She is getting so brave. She loves to go under water and is getting the hang of swimming.
Cal and I did the mom and tot class. He loved it. He thought it was fun to do his own thing instead of what the teacher wanted us to be doing.
Ike hated it. He was the screaming kid in the lessons. The first day, he wouldn't get in unless Jane was in with him. The second day wouldn't get in and was screaming. After that I gave up and just made him watch Jane and Cal. The next week he thought he'd try and he did pretty good. He at least got in and swam with the teacher. He loves to go swimming with us at the pool, but he wasn't sure of swim lessons. I am hoping next year will be better. He was a little stinker!

Ike in the pool and not screaming. I was to frustrated to take to many pictures of Ike. It would have been fun to have one of him screaming, but that was to much work.

Jane loving it. She loved going under water. I was a little disappointed at some of the teachers at the pool. Not the friendliest bunch of folks. I think I might have to try the private thing next year, if the budget allows!
