Jedidiahs, Sour dough Pancakes


Last minuet trip to Jackson Hole with the Holman's, was so much fun. We Left at noon on Friday the 18th and spent some time in Woodruff on our way. Grandma Putnam had her 90th birthday day before so we brought gifts and Michelle got a cake. They loved seeing the kids and Grandma cried when we sang. Jackson was beautiful. It was the first signs of fall and it was amazing... Sage didn't get to come, she had to stay home for THRILLER rehearsals. We spent Sat. with Grant and Marilyn. Who are Bretts Aunt and Uncle that live in Jackson. They treated us to a Boat ride and a Chuck Wagon dinner. The best part for me was the shopping. Great time with our boys and The Holman's!!!

Breakfast at Village Inn, Celebrating


I'm not sure who is more excited the kids or me? This year it is not as hard to see them go back to school, mostly because they have been fighting for the past two weeks. They all got up bright and early today and looked so cute in their new shoes and new outfits. The ladies decided to celebrate with a breakfast at the Village Inn. Then treated ourselves to a wonderful Pedicure. The kids are all excited about their new teachers and the year ahead. I made hot chocolate chip cookies and we talked all about each one of there day. Now the big job, all the papers to be signed and returned tomorrow... PTA, ROOM MOM, this consent form that disclosure and on and on... times that by 3. See Brett being a stay at home MOM is not all tennis, lunches, pedicures and so on, this is not as easy as it looks. Or as Brett would say " its good to be Tina"

ALASKA...





























Brett and Matt just returned from the long awaited and anticipated trip to Alaska. In Bretts own word "the time of my life"... The fishing was amazing. They got to go on 4 ifferent charters and each one was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The first day they drove 1.5 hours to Homer were they deep sea fished for Halibut, then they did a few river fishing trips on the Kenai River, were both Brett and Matt hooked a huge King Salmon and many Silver Salmon. They also fished out of Seward, and caught some HUGE Halibut. They also spent a day sight seeing and saw some pretty impressive wildlife and beautiful Glaciers. Brett loved the trip and said over and over how spectacular ALASKA was. Next time I want to go, we missed Brett and I think he missed us too...

24th of July weekend







Brett and I took the kids to Woodruff for a little over nighter. We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Putnam. They were so happy to see us and got such a kick out of the kids. We made them lunch and brought Rice Crispy Treats. They loved visiting and Grandpa brought out his Purple Heart. The boys were so impressed. Max asked so many questions, I think we wore them out. Sage tried to teach Grandma how to text. They have been married almost 73 year and still live independently. I cant even imagine. Brett and I have only been married 18. We sure love them and are so proud to be part of their legacy.

Island Park with The Nielsons
















Spent a week with our good friends The Nielsons at their cabin. The week was full of every outdoor activity you can imagine. We ran two rivers, rode ATVs, biked, boated, wake boarded, fished, horse back ridding, hot tub and so much more. The weather was amazing, 70-75 in the day 40-45 at night. We loved to sit out on the deck at night in the hot tub and look up at a million stars. The kids Loved Yellowstone and we saw a bear. West Yellowstone was amazing shopping and excellent pizza. Thanks for the great memories, we love you guys...

4th of July weekend
















We spent the weekend at the cabin with the Smiths. Thursday we took the kids to the Oakley Rodeo. The Rodeo was so cute, the kids loved it. We went on a long 4 wheeler ride on Friday and it was a little rainy but cleared up quick. Sage loved the puddles it left. We hiked to a great fishing spot and got eaten alive by the mosquitoes. Saturday the boys went for a ride while we watched all the chick flicks. I think the kids like to ride the 4 wheeler by the cabin the most. Even Mason was driving the little sportsman. It was so relaxing to watch movies sleep in, have big breakfasts, play games, talking, no cell phones, no Internet, no cable, just time spent talking and enjoying each other ....

Beach vacation 2009




































San Clemente was amazing and always is. Brett's family has a long tradition of spending a week at the beach. And its one I am happy to carry on. This year we had over 50 Holman's and all the sun, sand and cousins any kid could hope for. Robert has been holding Family Home Evening for the past few years on Mon. and this years was amazing. Eating on the Pier on Fathers day was a highlight for me, deep sea fishing and the Dodgers game was Brett's favorite, Sage loved playing with Reagan, Madison, Landon and Camden... Max and Mason loved playing with all the cousins, the Dodgers Game, walks on the pier at night, playing baseball on the beach, and digging in the sand. Spending a whole week with our kids was so awesome. They are becoming interesting little people and have so much to say. Brett and I were amazed at how independent they are all becoming and how much easier it is to travel with them. No strollers or car seats or port-a-cribs. Sage is quite a boogie boarder and swims like a fish, she reads for hours on end and helps with every ones kids without being asked. Max loved the water too but was more into digging and playing catch and baseball... Mason played in the waves, but hated the way the sand got in his shorts, he spent most of the time digging and playing with Camden and Landon. I cant tell you how much fun it was having nothing to do and no were to go. Michelle and G-pa took Sage on a dolphin watching boat, and all they saw were whales. All in all it was great just to be with our family.
