To Boise and Back

This past weekend my mom, grandma, June, and myself traveled over to Boise to support my brother Preston who was wrestling at State. Preston has been to state all 3 years he has been in high school and is a very good wrestler at 119 lbs. I have to admit that I am not the biggest wrestling fan in the world, but I have a greater respect for the sport after having been to this state tournament. All of the guys that make it to state are really good, so basically every match is fun to watch. Preston didn't end up placing this year, but he had a successful season none the less. While in Boise we stayed with my Uncle Webb and Aunt Laury. It was so nice of them to take us in. They have very busy lives and it was fun to be with them for a few days. They have twin boys who are 5 and June just loved to play with them - she thought she was a big kid! They also have two cats and June just wanted to play with them, but she could never catch them. We did a little bit of shopping while we were there as well. All in all it was a great trip.

Above is June playing with Jack.

This is a four generation shot.

June discovered this door stop while we were at Uncle Webb's and it became her favorite toy. She would flick it and it would make a great sound. Go figure - she has all of these toys and she likes the door stop best of all.

These last two pictures are just at our house. June gets into EVERYTHING. It is entertaining to see all of the things she manages to get her hands on. In the above picture she has a Nerf dart in her mouth. Sean and I both have Nerf guns and somehow she got the darts out and thought they worked as excellent suckers. Below is one of my favorite weasel shots. She has her one finger out and is looking at me with the "look what I got into" face. You just can't help but love her!!!

February Happenings

I really am determiined to go skiing this year. Sean does not ski, so that makes things a little difficult, but that just means I will have to get my sister out of school sometime and go with her while my mom watches June. This weekend my newest sister-in-law, Margaret, taught me how to wax my own skis. I was pretty impressed with myself - it wasn't near as hard as I thought it was going to be.

Valentines Day was a good one at our house. June got valentines in the mail from her cousins and her grandma. Grandma sent a sucker as well - I have never given June candy before, but I decided it was a holiday, so I let her enjoy it!!! I got June a Valentines present as well. It is a purple seahorse swimming tube. Target had all of their summer stuff out and I just couldn't help myself - I had to get it.

Before Sean went to work on Valentines Day I got up and made him heart shaped pancakes. Sometimes they didn't exactly look like hearts, but I think he liked them anyway.

Sean gave me flowers and used June's blocks to spell out Happy Valentines. He can be pretty sweet, but I guess thats why I love him so much.

Blogging Again

It has been a long time since my last post. Our internet has been down at our house for a while now, so I am blogging from my mom's house. Anyway, life has gone on for the three of us. We celebrated my brother Preston's 18th birthday on January 27th. I can't believe that he is that old - I mean, it seems like I was only 18 yesterday. June loved the candles on his cake, and she wanted to get at them. We kept her at a distance though.

She did manage to get into a york peppermint pattie while I wasn't looking. I think she liked it, but I took it away from her before she could make a big mess of her outfit

June is an expert crawler now, and she can move pretty dang fast. I have to keep a close eye on her because she can go wherever she wants. We don't have any stairs or anything too dangerous in our house, but I think if June can find trouble she will. She is also into emptying out things these days. I don't have a picture yet, but I will get one. She loves to take all of my shoes out of my closet and then go into her room and take all her shoes out as well.

It has been a winter wonderland up here in Idaho. We have gotten more snow this year than we have in a long time. Both Sean and I have been loving it. I have yet to go skiing (something I have been dying to do again), but we have been snowmobiling several times. Sean has a machine and we have borrowed my in-laws machines as well.

The picture of June above is just her being sneeky. You can see it on her face - she wants to do something that she dosn't want her mom to see, what a weasel.

This picture is just so cute I had to put it on. I was getting ready to go snowmobiling and she wanted to help me. Isn't she just a little doll face. I love her to pieces. I can't believe she is 9 months old now.

This last picture is of my new nephew Preston. He is a sweet little guy. He is now the 12th grandchild on the Marshall side, which means that June is no longer the baby.
