OUR VACATION TO IDAHO! JUNE '09

For our vacation this year we decided to go see Avi. She lives in Caldwell Idaho, just outside of Boise. Avi hadn't seen Gage in over a year so it was really neat that they got to spend time together.

We loved Av's scooter aka "scoot". It was so much fun, I was a little nervous at first though so she made me wear her helmet.

Gage loved helping Av feed the fish. He would giggle and want her to keep feeding them.
Yep, Aunt Avi spoiled Gage while we were there!!

Boise ZooThis lion was so neat, she spotted Gage and started pawing at the glass. He just sat there watching and drinking his milk.

Family pic just outside the zoo, Gage just wanted down to run.

After the zoo and a little lunch we decided to take the paddle boats for a ride, Av didn't want to go so she took pics for us.... It was fun and alot of work. Gage had a blast "driving" it and looking at all the baby ducks.

Gage made friends with Av's dog Sid. He is the best dog and he was so gentle with Gage.

One of our trips was to see the Old Idaho Penitentiary. We was able to see inside everything and see how they had to live. It was freaky but neat to see, they also have ghost tours at night, we passed:)!!



We also went to the MK Center that is right by the Boise river. It was kind of like our DWR. I really had alot of fun this day, it had a rained a little that morning so the air was fresh and clean, it was fun and peaceful.

This is the Boise river right outside the MK Center, It has a path called the Green Belt that is about three miles long that borders a park.
Dusty found a huge slug, I have never seen one that big before.


Our second to last day there we decided to just relax a little, so we had a picnic at the park.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND '09

We went out to our property in Dove Creek with Andy & Lola & a couple other people. It was a great campin' trip!!

Giddy up horsey!!!! Gage having fun on the horse at Almo, a little town by our property.

I just had to try out the bow!!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY GAGE! MAY 9, 2009

I can't believe that my little Boogie Man is a year old. It went by so fast. We celebrated his birthday at the city park in Grantsville.


We couldn't wait, when he woke up that morning we had to give him his present from Momma & Dadda.


Gage, G-ma Pat and Brooklynn playing with Gage's airplane. He's such a good boy, he loves to share!!

After we ate Subway sandwiches it was time to open presents.

He was so tired from all the excitement, he grabbed a stuffed animal and fell asleep. It was so funny everyone was laughing!!!!
After he woke up we finished opening presents then ate cake.
We finished his own little cake later that night. He loved it and so did the dogs, it was all over the place.

All of his presents!! he got so spoiled!!

GAGE CAN WALK!

Well Gage has been taking a few steps here and there for the last couple of weeks, with a little coaxing from us. The last couple of days he has really been liking his push walker, and he has been doing quite well getting around the house. Well tonight he finally got up the courage to let go of the couch and grab his walker that was about four feet away. We was so excited, we started clapping and yelling way to go boogie. Of course he thought he was pretty neat too. I will post some random pictures of him and his walker later.

HELLO CROUP, BACK SO SOON!!

Yes Gage has croup AGAIN! He has had a little cold this last week, but then friday night he woke up with that terrible cough. We did a lot better this time, instead of rushing him to primary children's we waited for his Dr.'s office to open. Of course there's not much they can do so they gave him a steroid and sent us home with one to give him that night. He is doing a lot better this time. I can't say the same for us, it is so scary when they get sick!!

HAPPY FIRST EASTER GAGE

Dust and Andy

JUST CATCHIN' UP

I am sitting in our camp trailer, Gage is asleep, and Dust went with Andy for a ride in the buggy. The weather is not looking so good outside so I thought to myself, now that we have Internet anywhere we go I think I will catch up on my pictures!!


Getting ready for Easter!




Even though I wanted to grab him as fast as I could and clean him, I couldn't resist getting a picture first!!

G-pa Gary finally made it home from Arizona!!

He brought home some cute shirts for Gage: That's it I'm calling Grandpa

We had so much fun camping on my b-day, it was nice to finally go camping!
