4th of July

For the 4th of July this year we went up to Idaho Falls to spend it with our friends Cam and Brit Christensen. We always have a great time when we go up there and their family has welcomed us in and made us feel as if we are part of their family. We slept through the parade (Easton is our alarm clock and he slept til 9:30!) but made it for the main event which is a BBQ at Grandpa Les' and Grandma Dar's. Yes, our kids call them grandma and grandpa and they treat our kids as if they are their true grandchildren. The kids swam on the ginormous slip and slide, in the pool and Grandpa Les mowed down part of the pasture and then flooded it and the kids played water soccer. It took Asher a bit to get up the nerve to go into the pasture (he's scared of the horses) but once he did, he had a great time. They also rode on the merry go round and the adults had a great time visiting and eating. Later we watched the fireworks and just had a great time!















Zonked!

Asher had been downstairs and I hadn't heard or seen him in a while, this is never a good thing where Asher is concerned. I asked Sadie to go downstairs and see what he was doing. She came back and told me that he was sleeping and I had to come see. Sure enough, he had fallen asleep. This is extremely rare for Asher to fall asleep anywhere else besides his bed, so he must have been really tired!
