More on Brandon...

It has been so wonderful of Nanette to visit Brandon, it's so comforting to know someone is there close and can see him more often than we can.  Today they went to see the progress of the new Meridian Temple.  She said he was still pretty agitated but they ran into an elderly couple at McDonald's that works with Cerebral Palsy patients and they visited for a while and then they suggested he see a chiropractor.  They said that kids with CP have an enlarged brain stem which can either cause extreme lethargy or excitability/aggression.  We can always give it a try and see if it works.

1st Football Game of the Season...

Scott's buddy Jason hooked us up with some College of Idaho football tickets.  They played Eastern Oregon University and won like 41-28.  We knew of a few freshman playing for both teams on the sidelines, but none of them were dressed down.  We had a great time, but we are going to need some purple shirts if we keep going...Go Yotes!

Idaho State Fair...

The original plan was a girls night out with Pat Benatar but her concert got canceled so when we found out that Queensryche was coming Scott really wanted to see them so we invited Harlan and Kendalee to come with us.  It was a really fun night! 

 I really enjoyed the few songs that I knew, which were not quite half. Haha!

 Good times with Great Friends!

I loved this ice cream Sunday...crazy how much they make it look like a baked potato.

My Brandon...

This boy has really been struggling lately and he has seen several doctors and they just don't know what is wrong.  They got his blood pressure down with medication, but he still gets really agitated and mean at times so we are looking into putting him back on behavior medications.  Praying the doctor today will know or be inspired as to which one will work best for him so we can have this smile back.  Sure love and miss him!

1st Day of School...

Can't believe summer is over and school is starting again. Here's to a new school year of learning, expanding our horizons, making new friends, having adventures, setting and achieving goals, doing hard things, having fun and doing better than the year before!!!  I thought they both looked so cute their first day! Sure love my kids!!!!

Can't believe this will be my last year of having any kids in the Elementary school...crazy!!!

 Posts from Instagram...

We are super excited that Taylor is going to Nyssa the next four years. So this year there are no half days and we never know when they have school on Friday, but they get out earlier at 3:06 which will be nice.  After school I picked all three of them up and took them to Kiwi Loco so that was fun!

Here's to a great year!

Caldwell Night Rodeo

We had a blast going to the rodeo with the Garners, Mom, Teniele and her boys.

These two crack me up...

Such cuties!

 It was so funny when the couple behind us said they sure could tell we were all related....

It was so fun because we were on the rowdy side...

plus this clown was very entertaining!

By far my favorites are the barrel racing and the bull riding.  

I think three were able to stay on for eight seconds.  

They either don't make cowboys like they used to or the bulls are a lot harder.

So fun that Giles got a selfie with this awesome clown.  

Lea also got him to wave at her a couple of times.

Another Birthday...haha!

Had to work on my birthday and the sweetest lady that I did a loan for brought me back this amazing salad, plus carrot cake, bottle of water, a rose and card.  I was shocked! It was so nice of her.  After work Grandma Joan brought Kacie over so I could take her to the doctor and sure enough she had a UTI.  Not a fun way to spend your birthday...oh well! We then went to Subway and went home a watched a movie together.  Scott was in Boise with Dad and they brought me home a yummy chocolate mousse cake.  

My Birthday Selfie...

My only snapchat birthday wish...such a cutie!

Brady went swimming at the Vale pool with mom and her ward.  Our ward went the day before so he was pretty excited to get two swim days in.  I'm amazed by how much he loves the high dive.  When I was with him every time he would let out a little squeal/squeak.  It was too cute!  After we went yesterday I then took Kacie, Jocelyn and Mallory to New Plymouth to jump on the Blacks bridge.  I got out just to take a picture and ran back to the pickup only after having about 20 mosquito bites.  It was crazy I had never seen so many mosquitoes.  I then took them to eat and dutch bros.  We had a lot of laughs.  Friday I had the day off so Scott, Kacie and I went school shopping and out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory.  We had a good time.  While we were at the mall we got suckered into changed from Directv to Dish.  I hope we like it okay, good thing is we are suppose to save about $40 a month for the next two years.

 Had to go to Cabela's for a little while.

Sure love this girl!

Mom's request...haha!

Just missing Brandon):

Photo Bomb...

My birthday buddy...we are only 40 years apart!  I can't believe I'm 45.  Rosie's family came in late last night.  It will be fun to have them here for a few days before school starts back up.  After our family dinner on Sunday we had a game night and Tara and Tommy came over with their family.  It was a fun night.  We played Mexican Train late into the night.

 Monday I got another day off and we did some more shopping with Rosie, Kyle and Mckinley.  We had a good time.

 Tuesday they went swimming at Eldredge's

Grandpa with the boys...such cuties!  We had a great visit with Rosie and her kids!

Wahooz, Roaring Springs & Drive-In

Mom treated us all to Wahooz and Roaring Springs.  We all had a blast!

Five of us got a hole in one. Some of us twice!

cuties...

So glad my guy came with us, he always makes it more fun! (:

These two had way too much fun...

The worst shot of the day...haha!

We played for movie tickets & Scott & I lost, but not because of me!

Brady's favorite...

He loves miniature golf!

PIZZA...

We had fun at Roaring Springs too, however not everyone did this.  Harlan went with Scott to get new wheels and tires on his pickup.  Kendalee and Maya went shopping and who knows what True and Kevin did.  Mom was a great sport and hung out with us even though she didn't get wet.  Brady didn't always agree with the rides we all wanted to go on so he would go off on his own.  Crazy boy!

I think Brady just about wore out this slide...He loved it!

This time he is beating Kacie...

Mom stayed with Joshua at Wahooz instead of going to the drive-In.  

She is such a good grandma! 

We sure love her!

Love these cuties...

Crazy how much we fit into one day...Wahooz, Roaring Springs and then we saw Inside Out and Jurassic World.  What a day...it was so much fun! Unfortunately I slept through part of Jurassic World and I paid for it on Friday at work.

First truck Scott has put after market wheels on.  Looks pretty sweet...and his $2200.00 stereo sounds pretty sick too.  It came in pretty handy at the drive-in.
