Bears

I loved this couch

As much as I wanted to see a Bear in wildlife, going to this Bear park is all I got. The Bears that are here are ones that kept going back to camp grounds to eat our yummy food. Instead of killing them they brought them here. The kids got to hide some food for the Bears to come find and eat.

Buffalo

Do you see the cute babies staying close to their moms.

The most common animal we saw in Yellowstone was Buffalo. They are big and the furry and I am sure mean.

Hot Pots

I am amazed at how these hot pots are all over the place. As amazed as I was the smell of rotten eggs was not amazing.

Dear Uncle Adam

I promise promise promsise not to do this.
PLEEEEEEEASE can I come and stay.

Please Please PLEASE let me come and stay with you while my family is away on vacation. I promise to be on my best behavior. I won't eat any oreos out of your pantry. Because of that there won't be any wrappers ripped into shreds for you to clean up. I promise not to dig any holes or lay on your furniture. I will try to lick my feet quietly so it won't wake you up at 5:00 in the morning. I will do my best not to follow you around and breath on you. If you let me stay with you it means that when my family returns I will not be a freak. I will not run around the house like crazy. I will not have to fill my prescription of Xanax for the anxiety that it causes me to be left home alone. Uncle Adam we have had such good times in the past. I know I caused a few problems last time but you took care of that. Remember I am a better dog because of you. I promise to be nice to Toby and we won't even run away this time. I am really looking forward to the bath you give me. I really can't wait to come and stay. I am even going to bring my own bed this time. See ya on Thursday.

Love your niece,

Sweet Sammie Sue

Boating

Me and the girls going for a ride

Stephanie and I skiing together
Lexi loves to do tricks on the tube

The thing we love most about summer is BOATING!!! We spend as much time as we possibly can on the boat. We all LOVE IT!!! Lexi loves riding the tube and is getting better and better at water skiing. MaKaya is a pro at jumping off the boat time and time again. Savanna loves to kick her feet in the water. Thanks Dad for loving us enough to take us boating.

Owls Game

Hello
Tay, Lexi, Tyler


Summer screams BASEBALL for me and my family. (Shaun hasn't been converted yet) We love to go to the Owls game. Savanna was so excited to see the owl but as soon as he got too close she was petrified. I asked her why she didn't like the owl and she said because he pinched her. The other girls wanted to go see him but Boo stayed with Tay. While we were talking with the owl I asked him to wave at her. She was yelling Hi Owl, funny Owl and waving to him. Later we went to get dippin dots and we had to pass the owl. She clung to my shirt for dear life. We were able to get close enough for him to pat her on the back. She had to tell everyone about it.

Day with MaKaya

Her first outfit before changing

We met up with her best friend Macy for part of the day

I asked MaKaya what she wanted to do for her day with Mom and she said shopping and Lunch. So that's just what we did. She never gets to ride in the stroller because Boo always does so she was super excited to get to ride. She wanted pretzel bites for lunch and some Sees chocolate for a treat. As soon as we got in the car she changed into her new clothes, that's my kind of girl. We had a fun afternoon with just us. As the afternoon was ending she told me that is was so fun to be just her and I, because Savanna is such a pain. I couldn't have agreed more.
