Funny story for the year

Picture yourself standing in front of the bathroom mirror with your three year old standing next to you watching you ready yourself for the day. You are having problems with a particular piece of hair that just will not lay down despite the amount of gel, hairspray, or wax you have applied. You exclaim "I have a rooster tail!" Your three year old leans back away from the counter that he has been so patiently holding up and peers at your butt only to exclaim, "No you don't, daddy!"
I happened to be in the bathroom at the very same time and witnessed all of this. I laughed so hard I had to stop putting my makeup on because my eyes were watering so much.

What characters!

Parker, Kaelee, Briton
Where is Kaelee?
The kids love to lay in Brian and my bed and watch cartoons.



My baby is growing up WAY too fast. She is walking all over the house now! She isn't talking very much, but there are a few things you can understand, especially the word "NO"!

First Day of School


Briton started Kindergarten this year.
I took this picture during his first week of school. He loves going to school, he likes his teacher, he loves learning, going to the library, and his favorite part is going to the various stations.

Kids LOVE dirt!!


Kaelee, Makiah, Parker, Brinlee, Briton, Afton, and Makoa digging in the dirt at grandma's house.



What delicious dirt cakes!

Weekend with the Larsons

Eric and Jennifer's family spent a weekend with us.
We went for a picnic.

Then we went swimming in one of the "lakes".

Jennifer playing with Jackson & Kaelee while Parker looks for special rocks.

Can you find Brian?


Kaelee's new favorite game is to dump her toys onto the floor and sit in the plastic tote. She then tries to reach for a certain toy and gets frustrated when she tips the tote over and falls out.

The Blauer's Fourth of July

We spent our fourth of July in Blackfoot together.
Our family went to the zoo in Idaho Falls. We had never been there.
Our little chick-a-dees.
The kids played outside almost all afternoon.
Kaelee likes to follow her brothers around in her walker as they ride their bikes.

Later, Brett and Elizabeth came to meet us and we watched the fireworks from the park at Jensen Grove Lake.

T-Ball



The month of June was a very busy one for our family. Briton played T-Ball. He had games every Monday and Wednesday night and practice every Thursday night. He really enjoyed playing and was the most improved player on the team. Brian and Summer really enjoyed watching him play. Isn't that what parenthood is all about?

Grandpa's Tire Swing





What big, beautiful blue eyes! Daddy, keep your eyes on this one, she's a real heartbreaker!




Daddy & his 'sleeping beauty'.



The boys are geared up and ready to ride their bikes around the neighborhood, unfortunately mom and dad didn't think to check the air in the tires beforehand. (We had to buy a new pump.)

The Blauer family has moved . . . again! We have stayed within the confines of Blackfoot, we just found a bigger more family friendly place to live. Our new address is 710 W 200 N A Blackfoot, ID 83221. Our phone number and email have remained the same. Love to all!

Summer made the kids pajamas for Christmas. They got to wear them to bed Christmas Eve so that when Santa came he could see them sleeping in their new pajamas.
