Blast through Summer!

Every summer we find it harder and harder to keep up the blog.  So to help with that, here is one long post of a bunch of fun times we have had so far.  Starting with the most recent and working backwards..Fasten your seatbelts!!! 

1PaddleBoatsLisaKodyTrace

Lisa sure is talented.

She is feeding the baby,  paddling the boat with her feet and helping me keep Trace in his seat. All at the same time!

1PaddleSueKevinRiley

This weekend we had Lisa’s family up.

It was a lot of fun and great having everyone here!

6KodyJaydeeRiley

Jaydee & Riley getting ready to play “I spy with my little eye”.  An easy game that still lets me sit here on the swing like a sloth. ;-)

1Thehardeypelican

Jan & Kev strutting their stuff (as well as you can strut while pedaling a giant pelican around).

I’m too cool to smile. Bo diggidy!

2BoatLisaKendra

Lake Lowell.

This pic was taking just moments before we floated into a giant patch of tall reeds.  I was glad we had that oar to get us out of there! ;-)

2Lisaboatdriving

Lisa cool, calm , and collected.

Trace learning to drive the boat!2TraceonboatSkipper

The newest Skipper!  For our first time out together on the boat we had a great time and I learned something NEW!  A towel, when it falls out of a boat into the river sinks immediately. I don’t know but I always thought it would float. Nope!  One slid out and was gone immediately so if you are boating out at Lake Lowell and see a tan towel out there please grab it for us. ;-)

RecFestivalEricSophieKodyTrace

We went with the Dallings to the Boise Rec Festival.

It was fun and hot as can be. Well maybe not. My brother has been texting me from Arizona about how its 120 degrees there so I guess 93 or 94 isn’t too bad at all!  

Above you can see Eric, Sophie, Trace, and I as we get some of that refreshing water!

Wendy and Aaron and my parents came to visit.

We had so much fun together. Here is a pic from the great Costco.  Pizza and soda only 2.50. How can you beat that?

1AaronJakeConnorpaddle

This was the first time we had ever gone paddle boating. Here is

Aaron, Jake, and Connor!

1AndreTracePaddle     

Cool dude cousins Andre  & Trace.  Funny how I still remember when Andre was Trace’s age. Man, time flies!

7CemetaryMemorialDay

Memorial Day

Grandpa & Grandma Stimpson’s grave. We went to Burley. It was nice… All except Trace had a fit moments later and threw up on the road. Hopefully no one stepped in that. Yuck!
