The Play Area At Our Apartment

A climb to the top of the tower. I am just so happy this isn't my couch right now, or the table.

This is the play area we have been blessed with here at Creekside apartments. It has entertained the boys for many hours over the last couple of years.

Here is the hike up to the steps.

Raymond is 4 1/2years & Andrew is 2 1/2 years old.

Andrew is a fighter. He struggles to keep up with Raymond, but he never gives up.

These two boys do everything together. I am sure they were plotting their next move.

Fun Summer Days!

I love it when the boys play together. It beats mutual destruction. Sometimes smiles can be hard to come by in our little family, especially during a stressful day, but there isn't a soul in the world who can brighten my heart better than these two. That is, them and the Lord.
Andrew isn't an ounce camera shy. I am getting better in front of the camera. After losing 19 pounds I feel more confident and less scared to be seen by everyone. Plus, who wants to be missed during special moments.
I am the Mommy climbing post, as are most moms out there. I am worried soon they will be taller than me and the battle will be lost. It won't be long. Time goes by so fast.

Demolition Derby

Sorry about any blurriness. I can't even describe how hot it was on this day. The crowd was awesome...loud. It was a completely different atmosphere then here in Moscow. The best part of the Derby was when the National Guard tank came and crushed the cars over and over again. The music, the screaming and snow cones made everyone insane and wanting more. That and the direct sun beating down on everyone from above. Sunburn and all, it was the best 4th of July yet.

My Mom

This is My mom, Paula Frye. She sat by me as the boys whizzed by and we talked about how they have grown. She has gone through many trials in her life, including a long struggle and history with cancer. I am proud of her for continuing a journey of happiness.

Car Rides and Jo

This is Jo admiring the car ride, wishing he too was small enough to sit in the little hot rod. All three of the men in my life are huge car fans, and this ride was a big hit. Jo had a lot of fun on this day, there were a lot of first for him.

Wilder Rides

The boys making a run for it at the Wilder event during the 4th. No smiles, but I assure you they were having fun. Serious drivers I guess.

4th of July

During the 4th of July we were blessed with the ability to go and visit our family in Southern Idaho. The boys were able to see horses in the parade, along with an awesome firetruck. The we went to a small town event in Wilder, Idaho, where the boys were able to see their grandmother and play. Later that night we experience the very awesome Homedale Demolition Derby and fireworks. The trip was fun and interesting.
