When we got to Juliaetta Tyler started right into baseball. He did very well, considering he's never played before. It was a great experience for him and he enjoyed every moment of it.

(I've kinda posted the pictures in backwards order upon our arrival to Idaho, and there are quite a bit of pictures. but it has been 7 months since I've posted anything, so I had to update you all on our fun time in Northern Idaho)

Tyler reeling in a big one!!
We ended the weekend with some fishin. Derek caught over 10, the most out of anyone.

Derek and Caleb
The kids picked some "wheat" which they bundles themselves and sold them to Heather and I for our pop bottle lids.
The kids all worked together and built this part of the fence to be their club house.
My "manly man" chopping the fire wood for the fire.

The kids on our little hike.

Over Memorial weekend we went camping on Craig mountain at one of the Fish and Game cabins with our friends the Luke family. This is Derek and Abby putting back the log that fell off the buckin pole fence.


We went out and helped Ty fix some fence. What a fun family activity!

Dying Easter Eggs, in our new rental.
Moving can be exhausting. Derek made his bed in an empty suitcase.

At Craigmont Days in the park, instead of a sand box for the kids they had a wood chip box with coins in it. Derek made out with $2.50 that day. He bought some ice cream with it.

We've moved....Again!!

I just got a phone call as I started writing. My sister and Wes just has a 7 1.2 lb. baby girl, named Lydia! Yea, I'm so excited. They are all doing well. Anyway, Happy Fall to everyone! We started ours off with a move to the big town of Inkom, ID. Ty got a job with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service as a wildlife biologist. His main areas he'll be over is the Salmon/Challis, Grand Tar ghee, and Yellowstone National Forests. He'll be doing a lot with the black bear and Lynx. He's pretty excited about all of that. We're also excited it's a permanent position so hopefully we won't be moving again for a while.

Juliaetta was good to us. The boys made a lot of good friends along with Ty and I. It's crazy that we were only there 6 months, but it felt like we had lived there much longer. The boys played football and loved it. Ty was able to help coach Tyler, and it was a learning experience for both of them. Tyler did a great job, he's a little competitive, don't know where he gets that from! Gabe and Derek also played flag football, and showed their aggressive side. We all had a good time. I'll get some pictures posted soon.

I hope everyone has been well. I'm excited to have my fast internet again so I can keep in touch with everyone. Can't wait to hear how every one has been.
