Bradens Blessing
So we finally blessed Braden. He was only 4 1/2 months old! My mom and other family were able to be there so it was nice.
Happy 3rd Birthday Connor
We attended the open house of the Twin Falls Temple the night of Connors birthday (July 25th). We picked up a cake on the way back to our friends parents house and all the kids literally had cake at 10 p.m. and then went to bed shortly after.

This is our summer so far....
From hiking the hills of Boise, going on a picnic in the mountains, and spending time with family in Nevada over the 4th, this has been a terrific summer so far. We look forward to our many other plans that lie ahead.

What are we up to?
We need to download some more pictures, but I thought I would put an update on here until then.
Braden gets up one time at night and just over the holiday weekend he started reaching for things. It is fun to watch him grab and make that connection. He is a very happy baby and wakes up smiling. Rich can getting him laughing and it is hysterical. He has nicely rubbed most of the hair off the sides and back of his head and still has lots of hair on top that stands straight up. He is closer to a true mohawk.
Connor is very independent and doesn't think he needs help doing anything. He recently came to me excited that he had gotten in the fridge and pored a glass of milk by himself. Yikes, he didn't even spill. I was lucky the milk was only 1/4 full. He is still madly addicted to trains. He has been more cooperative in getting dressed and having his diaper changed. Yes he is still in diapers. He will tell when he is peeing though. RRRRR! He is still very lovey and kisses and hugs all the time. That is nice.
Rich is active duty at Gowen Field here in Boise until September and will then go back to Costco. He will also start back at NNU the end of this month for Business Admin. He will be done December of '09.
I am working 3 days a week at Journeys Hospice and will start again this month on my clinical hours for my clinical social work license for counseling (LCSW). I have to do a total of 3000 hours of counseling under a supervisor. I have about a year left I figure. I hope to do counseling for the adult population focusing on, Alzheimer's, caregiving, bereavement, and some mental health.
That kind of sounded like a Christmas letter. I have never been a big fan of those, but oh well. At least you know what we are up to, in case you were wondering.

Cowboy Hats
These are the two latest additions of hats for the boys. Have you ever seen a cowboy with a sword before?

IdaHome
It is so nice to be home in Idaho. We took the kids and went for a picnic and hike in the hills just above the city. It was such a beautiful day and the scenery was terrific. I totally missed the mountains while I was in Texas. The boys are doing well - Connor is his energetic self and Braden is growing quite fast. So far, Braden has the same quiet demeanor that Connor had at his age - could we be so lucky as to have two terrific boys? I couldn't be happier that I made it home in time for Father's Day.

Finally, the sun is setting on Texas and I'm coming home!
My training in Texas is over Wednesday morning. I finally get to go home. I have enjoyed my stay, but I miss my family. I got to see a lot of Texas, and I think it's a pretty fine place, but it's not anything like the beauty of Idaho! I'm anxious to get home to Julie and the little guys, but I'm taking the opportunity to fly my oldest son, Tyler, down to Dallas on Wednesday evening and he will accompany me on my journey home. It means a couple extra days on the road, but it's going to be a good time. We'll catch a soccer game and a couple of baseball games along the way and we'll just have some fun. It's just one of those father-son trips that all guys should have; and since Tyler lives with his mom I'm really looking forward to this trip with him. But the best part will be when I see that Boise City Limits sign.
(I do love the sunsets in Texas - I took these photos on the highway towards Lubbock)
