Garden art : )

I was going for all the different shapes that are in the garden especially the leaves.

Then I realized I kept beeing photo bombed….

( you can’t see it so well in this picture)

Food that is still growing: 

 

….and check out the size of this pumpkin.  There are 2 more just like him.  We don’t think we will be able to move this one already.

…but our cantaloupe are cutely little.  We just slice them in half and eat it with a spoon.

The shovel means the end of the corn season.  Now the cows get the yummy stalks. 

A week with Dave, Lindsy and Jeff’s kids

The whole gang with Brent in the high chair that you can’t see. We had lots of fun with the trampoline, swimming pools and slide, grandpa had them paint his horse trailer, rode the horse, and went swimming at the big pool.  It was fun to watch the friendships they made.

Camille and her puppy Zeus (yes he is a St. Bernard)

These two 3 year olds ended up being best friends.  They did everything together.

Favorite picture of the week.  Grandpa and Mason going to change sprinkler pipes.

El Vaquero Loco (Ty’s Race) (and some big news!)

We love going to Star Valley Wyoming and ‘helping’ with the 25/50K race that Ty puts on.  This year Kiley ran the 25k.  She is crazy but likes to do it.

This is Duane watching at the finish line as the runners come in.

Bryce is waiting for his mom to finish the race. (notice the flowers he picked for her )

Kiley finishing the race.  The last little bit is uphill.

…and this is Kiley’s unique way of announcing another baby.  Her shirt says:  Running Buddy on Board…you can see the little foot prints. (Gabe, Grant and Bryce) (due on her birthday Feb 20)

Ty at the finish line.  He is there to congratulate everyone that comes in.

Noah did a lot of ‘kid sitting’ all day.

Duane and Grant cooking up the hamburgers for the runners after the race

This is all at Cottonwood Lake.  The runners usually go right to the lake and sit in the ice cold water for 15 minutes.  It is so beautiful there. 

We really have fun and look forward to this weekend every year.

Baxter Reunion

All these pictures are thanks to Andrea.  I didn’t even have my camera that day.  Saturday of reunion we always go up to Medical Spring and swim in Uncle Jerry’s pool.  It is a hot spring, so to cool the water off to 80-90 degrees he shots it up in the air before it goes into the pool. 

Mike, Jaimi , Amy, and Sam

Lindsy and Brent

Me and Crisanne Hindman
