Bowling with the Boys

We went bowling for the first time. Holden ran down a lane, and being the good mother that I am, I went after him. The going after him did not go well, I slipped and fell. The boys had a good time, it was a good time for the boys to start learning about taking turns.

Soccer Game

Wilson and his moves..... I went to Wilson's soccer game this week. I have not been in a couple of weeks because of Young Women. The Speedracers have made great progress. They stay on the field most of the time, and they even scored a few goals. Blake joined us this week - Holden loves "Bake"...

Cutest Bum

The days have started to cool off, so Holden wore some jeans. These jeans were bought for Wilson, but Wilson never fit in them. Wilson is pretty solidly built, while Holden is super skinny. It is interesting how differently they are built - I guess it is just like their personalities....

Saying Goodbye to Grandpa

Wilson and Holden love their Grandpa (& of course Grandma). They had fun giving him loves before he left this morning!

Sunday Afternoon BBQ

We had a BBQ on Sunday afternoon with Mom, Dad, Roger, Josephine, Heidi, Evan, Annalise, Keaton, Art,Vicky and the Portlocks. It was a lot of fun to be outside and watch the kids play.

The pictures aren't very good, and most of have people eating, but unless I take pictures right when I think about it, it doesn't get

done!

Bingham Copper Mine

We went to Bingham Copper Mine on Saturday. My Mom and Dad, and my Dad's cousin, Roger and Josephine, from Belgium came to visit. We all had a great time looking at the big tire, and how little the huge trucks looked down in the big whole.

Is it worth it?

This is the product of 6 hours of work. On Monday night for FHE, we met the Holmes Family and picked tomatoes at Day Farm. Last night I cleaned some of the tomatoes, and today I blanched, peeled, cooked, and steam canned 8 quarts of tomatoes with lemon juice, fresh basil (from my garden), garlic, and salt. I really hope that these 8 quarts of tomatoes make some great sauce, otherwise it was not all the time and effort.

I think Holden enjoyed having all of the fresh vegetables around. He helped himself to a tomato, and he tried some eggplant too!
