Tree Swing

A few days before we went camping, Rick took Kolten and his friend Logan swimming down the road from our house to this awesome tree swing where Kolten met up with his cousin Cody.  They had a blast until it was Rick's turn to swing.  One of Cody's friends asked Rick if he wanted to try it and Rick gladly replied, "Sure!"  As Rick swung out, the rope snapped and he fell in.  Rick later told me about how embarrassed he was and how he felt like a fat butt in front of everyone.  All I could do was laugh.  Cody saved the day though by climbing back up the huge tree and tying the rope back up.  After fixing the rope, he wanted to jump out of the tree into the water, which was about a 30 ft drop into 5-6 feet deep water, but Rick told him he was off duty and wouldn't fix his broken legs if he did.  After much convincing, Cody decided not to jump.  He had Rick a little worried there for a few minutes.

Baby Dillan

Kolten got to hold his new baby cousin for the first time the other night.  He was so excited.  He got to feed him and everything.  Well everything except change his bum which he refused to do.  I have to admit, I was a little excited that we got to watch him also.  Phil and Melissa took Maddy and Cali to the baseball game and asked us to babysit.  I forgot how precious it is to take care of a newborn.  I love the smell of little babies.  I just wanted to squeeze him but I knew Phil and Melissa might not let us babysit again if I did. j/k 

Camping

Rick, Kolten & I went camping with Jess, Shelley and Kaden a couple of weeks ago and had a blast. Actually Rick had to work the next day so we just went up for the day and rode motorcycles. We had so much fun and got really dirty from following each other on our motorcycles. Shelley's face got the dirtiest. We got a good laugh at each other as we took off our goggles and helmets. Of course, I forgot my helmet and goggles and had to borrow Jess's. I looked like such a nerd. Rick didn't want to be hot in his motorcycle pants so he was sportin some jean shorts under his motorcycle gear which made it so I didn't feel so bad when I had to wear Jess's goggles.
