Drum Roll Please.......

HE PASSED!!!!!!!!!!! We just looked at the website and found that Blake's name was on the list of people that passed the Idaho Bar Exam. We are so excited words can't even describe!

Triple Trouble

This is what we call triple trouble!!!

Faith, Ashlynn, and Rylee.

They are always playing together

and always getting into some sort of trouble.

But it is the cutest thing ever.

I love to just sit and watch them play

and hear their conversations.

We are always saying that we pity the kindergarten teacher

that has them in her class.

They are a hanfull but the cutest stinking thing ever!!!!

Paige goes to school

This is little late but better late than never right? Paige started kindergarten a couple weeks ago and absolutely loves it.

Here she is on her first day.

This is her and Statler. Statler lives on our street and they have become awesome friends.

Here she is in her class room.

Toothless wonder

On Tuesday night before we went to get Blake set apart Paige informed us that her tooth was really wiggly. So as I looked at it it was bleeding so we decided to yank it. She was so stinkin' excited. So she is now a toothless wonder that has been telling every one that will listen that she lost her tooth. I can't believe that my baby is big enough to be loosing teeth.

Eli Update

I took Eli in for his 2 week checkup this week and he is now 23 inches and 10 lbs 10 1/2 oz. He is really starting to fill out. His belly button has been oozing for a long time now so they put silver nitrate on it to kill the skin. He basically had some skin that doesn't like to live on the outside of the body and so it kept oozing. It looks a lot better.

We used to have to really work at getting a smile out of him but now hw gives them pretty freely. So we took a pic of his cute little smile. I love this little boy so much.

Camping '09

Last weekend we went campling with our good friends, Kara and Russ, and Angie and Jeremy. We had a blast. We made the best smores ever but sisn't get pictures. Here is what else we did.

Set up camp.

The girls and I took some of the kids on a 4 wheeler ride.

Eli just hung out and was the best baby ever.

Ashlynn, Rylee, and Jenna had tons of fun playong and getting dirty.

Paige helped Blake deflate the air mattress.

I can't wait to go next year again.

"Puckleberries"

After our family reunion we headed out to pick some "puckleberries", as Rylee calls them. We had so much fun. It was one of our favorite things we did this summer. The first hour we picked only a few and were getting frustrated and so we turned back and happened upon the mother load. After about an hour Blake and I kept saying to each other that we needed to go and then we would turn around and find another bush full, so of course we had to pick those.

Here is the fruits of our labor. We have had a few huckleberry milkshakes and huckleberry pancakes.

Torgersen Reunion

A couple weeks ago we went to the Torgersen family reunion. (Blake's mom's side of the family). There was some really good food and fun activities.

Eli is 6 weeks old!

Yesterday morning Eli smiled at me once and so I pulled out the camera and sure enough he wouldn't do it again. So we decided to take some pics anyway and this is what we came up with.

So Blessed

On July 19th we blessed baby Eli. It was a very sweet blessing. We were going to wait until August but Blake's brother and wife were going to be out of town. So since my mom and Brooke were still here we decided at the last minute to do it. We had a dinner over here after. Thanks to all that helped celebrate this wonderful day with us.
