Since my last update way back in April we have had a lot of firsts, and some last, but I will get to those later.
We had our first trip to Lagoon for the summer on Dean's birthday. It was our only trip to Lagoon this summer
(which is enough) Drew had a great time Dean's sisters and parents came a long so he had PLENTY of people to take him exactly where he wanted to go. I think Puff and the bumper cars were his favorite.
Avery started walking on May 15th. She was 10 months. She was determined to master it. It was a Saturday and we were home all day so she would just try and try and try until about 4:00 she came walking down the hall excited about us cheering her on. Now is running and climbing on EVERYTHING!
A few days later, she FINALLY decided to hold her own bottle.... Stubborn girl, it is all on her terms.
At the end of May we met Drew's cousins at the zoo it was a cool day so lots of the animals were out, sadly though no bears (construction) and no zebras. It was also our only visit to the zoo this year.
Drew started playing soccer in April he LOVES it. I got to be his coach which was fun. He is funny about wearing all the appropiate gear when playing any sport. He can't play anything in the yard or with friends without getting on the jersey, pads, shoes, and socks. He started playing fall soccer again in Sept. again I am the coach. He loves it more now then he did then, if that is possible. I think he has improved since the spring. He struggles being a team player. On Saturday two players on our team were fighting to score and they both fell down and niether scored, it was pretty funny.
Drew played his first season on T-ball much like soccer he was a fan. He was a little disappointed at first that he HAD to hit off the tee because apparently he is above that. He did great.
He got to play with two of his buddies Isaac and Tyler. They were the Yankees.
Dean built his first swingset. It was a process.... but the kids LOVE it. And I love that they can go out and play in the backyard and I can watch them from the window. Until recently when Avery learned to climb the ladder but does not know how to get down. The slide goes right into the sand box, it has provided hours of entertainment for Drew and his friends.
Drew feeding the bum lambs in Evanston. He loves going to ranch and "helping" or playing. We didn't make it much this summer, but he did get his first expierence antelope hunting in Sept. He had fun and liked it but was a little concerned about the circle of life. Dean tried to explain, he wants to go again so I guess he is okay with it.
First summer trip to Boise. Celebrated my sister's birthday and got to party for the 4th of July.
