Home Sweet Malad

For Mom & Dad Ward that is. This Saturday went against doctors orders and went to Malad to help my parents on their propriety. We had to go, ok well I didn't but Todd did have to pull my dads new tractor down. After being on bed rest for a week and not leaving the house I had to get out! We helped my dad work on his shop and and move some dirt and rock around.

This is me just playing around in the tractor, really I just drove it around a little mainly to cool off in the A/C cab! It was fun! It really made me miss the Osgood farm I grew up on. Back then the tractor I drove was quite a bit bigger.

Kadee had fun playing with her cousin Katelyn on the little 4-wheeler. Everyone in my family except Audrey was there, it was really nice to see my sister Melissa and her kids and yes Audrey was missed!

This is a picture of my parents back yard and shop. The house is going to be built to the north of the shop a ways up, not shown in the picture. The spot where Todd is standing when he took this picture is going to be the garden area.

This is the front yard. It is hard to see because the beautiful setting sun.

Memories

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Black Tail

On Saturday afternoon we took the boat out to Black Tail. Grandma & Grandpa Jenks and Jody and Nicks family joined us. We had a lot of fun pulling the kids (and grandpa) behind the boat in the tube. Todd says that he thinks that is the first time he has ever see his dad behind a boat. Kadee even on in the tube. She was probably the easiest out of the kids to get in the tube. She loves the water.

Todd and Nick tried out Todds new wake board. It was quite the sight to see Nick trying to help Todd get his feet in. Todds feet are a little to big for the bindings on the wakeboard.

In the end they got the wakeboard on and Todd was able to get up and board.

This summer has been the pits for me :( I get to miss out on all the fun! I did get to enjoy the nice boat ride. I will admit sometimes it is just fun to watch my little family have fun!

Bad News!

I am writing to let all our Jenks family know that we will not be going to Bear Lake! I am so sad to report that the doctor has told me that I can no longer travel! :( He told me that if he would have known I was going to Island Park he would of said I couldn't go. I guess it is a good thing I didn't tell him that I road the 4 wheelers. Oh well! I am just sad that we wont be able to use our camper much more this summer as well as not getting to see all of our Jenks family that I still don't feel like I know very well. But it is best to do what the doctor says, I guess he knows he is talking about! We sad about not getting to go camping but we want to do whats best for our baby. We only have seven weeks left then we can enjoy our new bundle of joy!

Island Park

Over the 4th of July weekend we went to the Island Park ranch with my family. The ranch has always been my favorite place to camp. We have 1000 acres all to our self's, I take that back, we have to share it with the cows but more then half the time we never see them anyway. It was fun to take our camper out for the first time this summer and just sit back and enjoy nature. However we really could have done without the blasted mosquitoes. I think we went threw two cans of OFF and a can of Yard Guard. Besides that we had a great weekend riding 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, shooting guns and just relaxing.

Do to the late winter we have had the wild flowers were still in bloom and the were so pretty. Kadee had fun playing in them and picking them. Every time she would pick one she would bring it to me and say "Happy mothers days!' it was cute.

Well after spending four days in our camper we were happy to come home, clean up and sleep in our own beds, but are looking forward to going to Bear Lake in a couple of weeks!

Kadee's Bike

We got Kadee a bike at a yard sell earlier this summer thinking that she would be able to ride it next summer. Well, she has learned how to ride it this summer and loves to ride it up and down the sidewalk. All we need now is to get her a helmet and some pads and she will be set! I can't believe that she is only 2, she looks like such a big kid on her princess bike!
