Hannah's 6th Birthday

July 26th:

Yes . . . after slacking for 10 months, I am back in the saddle and wanting to update our crazy busy lives!  Hannah's 6th Birthday party seems like a great place to start!  I can't believe Miss Hannah Banana is 6!  She has been into swimming so Ross reserved the Payette Municipal Pool, Hannah had a blast swimming with her friends and family!  After we enjoyed lunch in the park, followed by presents, and birthday cake.  It was a little crazy but turned out great!  Hannah was beaming from ear to ear and loved having both her dad and mom there along with her daycare friends! 

Tyson loved swimming but I missed getting his picture in the water.  At the party, he discovered that sitting on Papa's lap and eating ice cubes was the best place to be!

He also discovered that he could climb up into the chair all by himself.  Uncle Brent would help him rock back and forth, and Tyson would just relax back and giggle.

After the party we headed back to Nana and Papa's house, Tyson enjoyed playing with the "new to him" toys!  He was being so silly and putting on a show for everyone by rolling across the floor and back.  He would roll, wait for me to tickle him, and then giggle as he rolled off.  Every once in a while he would accidentally stop the rolling motion or stand up and it was hilarious to watch him figure out how to sit back down and start rolling again!  You probably had to be there to understand how funny it was but makes me smile just writing about it!

I had such a good time at Hannah's birthday and an awesome weekend all around.  I spent a lot of one on one time playing with Tyson,  Nick was in Stanley for "Guys Weekend & Josh's Birthday/Bachelor, and Audrianna was at her annual Potholes Camping trip (super excited to see her this Thursday, since we had to skip last Thursday).  I didn't speak to Nick all weekend but based off a few text messages, I could tell he was completely enjoying himself and the much need guy time.  The guys hung out a Red Fish on Friday morning, then headed out for their overnight motorcycle trip and ended up camping at an isolated 9300 feet in the Stanley Mountains.  On Saturday evening they enjoyed a "sweet" (Nick's words) concert in Stanley and then took another long ride on Sunday afternoon.  I am sure that Nick will need a vacation after his vacation!  Here are a few pictures from Facebook.
