"Pooh" Bear Lake

 

If you were to ask Jack, he would tell you that he had fun playing in the sand at "Pooh" Bear Lake.

Bella was a trooper and only tasted the sand a few times.

Trevor and Alesha came along to originally go kite boarding, but I think the wind went on vacation too.

So, instead we played on the beach and went swimming (duh), played frisbee golf and cards.

Mike and Kimberly joined us for some fun.

This was our home base, gotta love that camper!

On the way home we searched out Steamboat Springs. Here are the boys testing their surroundings.

 Well, there you have it. After finding it safe, they jumped right in. 

The bubbles made it impossible to sink.

Val just informed me that there is wind now, so I guess we are off to the lake... again.

Hoboes

The Union Pacific came to town (actually it goes through about 20 times a day) but this time they had passenger cars for the public to ride.

Our niece Indee went with us. We rode in the bubble top part of this car.
It was a fun adventure. A little hot chocolate and singing would have been better for the 3 hour ride. It was only suppose to be one hour, but with all of the freight trains going through we had to wait alot. Oh well.

This story goes with the title. A few days ago Val was watching Arachniphobia. I have a horrible fear of spiders!!! I have my spider stomper shoes at the bottom of my stairs for whenever I am down in the basement, and have to check any shoes before putting them on. Anyway, I tried to ignore the show and even make him turn it off, but I caught a glimpse once in a while and I'm still uneasy. The next night I found a hobo spider next to the washer. I tried to stomp on it, but as I lifted my foot it ran away. Time for a different pair of stomping shoes. Don't worry, I caught him in the sticky trap. Now its time to bug bomb the basement. YUCK!


This little critter would not stay out of my yard no matter how many times I tried to scare him away or throw him over the fence. I like cats, but if they are not mine I don't want them around to mess up my yard. Solution:

Unleash the Skiff Dog
What a pal
The cat ran up the tree, so we left him there for a while to think things through- sort of a time out I guess...
hasn't been back since

~chub-a-bub~

This 4 month old is 14 pounds of pure sugar!

Just keep swimming...

Summer is a time where we spend a lot of time in, on, or around the water. We have had several fun boating days on Alexander Reservoir and a swim day at Lava Hot Springs.

These are all of the Eddins grandkids at Lava

We had a fun week with everyone here, and finished things off with a cruise on the pontoon boat.

Thanks everyone!

King of Pop

Not what you expected?

Val is one of the biggest pop drinkers I know. A while back I told him I would start exercising if he would quit drinking pop. I did this mainly because I thought it wasn't possible, and to get him off caffeine. Well, he did it...and where am I? Sitting in the recliner feeding the baby! Thank goodness for all those caffeine free pops that are out now!

"Potty on dude!"

I guess the monkey had to go too!

If anyone has experience with little boys, please let me know what works!

Birthdays

We celebrated two birthdays in the family on Saturday with the Eddins clan.

Jack turned 2 on Friday and Myrn's is on Thursday.

Myrna got a new moniter for her computer Jack blew out his candle with a straw, got lots of fun presents, and
a new bike to ride. Thanks everyone!
He threw a fit when we tried to put it in the trunk to come home.
Idaho Falls to Bancroft would be quite the ride on a tricycle!

We braved the rain and went to the zoo. I have been wanting to take Jack for a while.

We will definately have to go again when the weather is better. And, when Jack doesn't have a wagon to distract him from the animals. Thats all he was interested in was pulling the wagon.


Happy Birthday !!!
