The Ward Campout

In like January it was announced that we would be having a ward camp out the last weekend in July. My mom reserved a Yert for us to stay in. The months passed and the camp out came nearer. The plan was for everyone to go. Well now it is the week of the camp out and AJ found out that his troop was going to have to do something drill related. So he wasn’t going to be able to go. Then he was told that is troop wasn’t doing that so then he was going. (For those of you that don’t know) My dad works on the temple grounds for the church, and the Shut Down schedule changed this year for some reason, and so he wasn’t going to be able to get the time off because of shut down. Carson ended up staying home with Shotgun because that weekend the temperature was in the 100’s and we were going over by Bend and it was just to hot for the black dog. Then Wednesday AJ found out that his troop was having Drill that weekend so now he can’t go. So now it is just me my mom and Irie going. And we are wondering if it is even worth going. We decided that we had already paid so we might as well go. Mom picks Irie and me up late Thursday morning to go to her house to pack the car. I get my mom’s Scion all packed and there is literally room for the 3 of us in the car and all kinds of stuff packed around Irie. Got everything we would need into the car except 2 folding chairs, which we sent with the Franzen’s (neighbors). We get up to camp and get all set up and had a good time; just us girls. Because of the heat we had to go into town to get Irie to take a nap, but that wasn’t so bad. It was nice to be in the AC for a little while. I was all worried about what toys to take Irie, turns out all she needed was the dirt and the rocks.

Crabbing

We went to Tillamook today to go crabbing. We went with Carson’s friend Dan and his wife Terry. We got down there about 7 in the morning, and Carson and Dan went out on the bay to set the traps. Came back in and waited a little bit before they went back out, only to find the traps full, with one limit. So they went back out to rebait. Came bake in for a half hour or so. Went to check the traps again and had another limit. When they came back in they told Terry and me to go get my shell fish tag so we could get one more limit. By noon we were limited out on 4 tags. Making a total of 48 dungenous crab and 5 red rock. Here is the proof.

Josh's wedding

Josh Wood got married today and AJ was his best man. So we went to support Josh and Ashlin. Irie still doesn’t like AJ much EXCEPT when he is in a suit or tux, here is the proof.

9 Month Pictures

It's hard to believe Irie is already 9 mos. old. She babbles constantly, crawls everywhere, is standing and walking around items and beginning to stand alone without holding onto things. Before we know it, she will be running around. Here newest thing to say......UP.

Tanner's Birthday Party

Today was Tanner’s (Carson's nephew) 3^rd birthday party at Papa’s Pizza in Gresham. I had never been there but it was a fun place for a kids party. They have all these different rooms so for the most part each party had there own room. There is a huge play area for the kids, with climbing, tubes, slides, merry-go-round, and more. Tanner, Levi and Irie had fun.

Irie, she wasn't so sure what was going on.

Just some fun Pictures

We were at my grandma's house the other day and my mom put the container on Irie's head.

Notice Irie's finger is IN the soothie Just a cute one of Oakley

When Carson's dad was in the hospital we discovered that Irie LOVES pickels...

This is what her pickle lookeed like when she was done.
That was a half a pickle and done with only one tooth.

Belayed Easter

Because of Corey (Carson's Dad) fell off the roof and had a rod put in his femur we pushed Easter back a week. It turned out to be such a nice day we spent all of it out side. Here are some pictures from our belayed Easter.

Nana Tawnya and Irie, was sitting on the lazy Susan on the patio table.

Playing with Cool Whip

Many years ago when I was working in the preschools for school they would put shaving cream on the sensory tables for the kids to play with. But Irie isn't old enough to know not to put the shaving cream in her mouth I thought i would try with cool whip. She wasn't sure what to think of it. I think I'll try again in a month or so. I thought it was fun. Molly thought she would help clean up.And the final look, My mom helped her make that mess.

Then Irie got a bath, but I didn't have anything to put her into. Mom went in to her sewing room and found this old outfit if AJ's.
And this is Irie blowing raspberries, one of her new favorite things to do.

Mom said that she remembered this outfit being the same way on AJ good in the pants and short in the top. Carson liked that it was a belly shirt. He said "Irie comes by it honestly" (referring to the root beer belly.)

Easter bunny

My mom and I took Irie to see the Easter Bunny today. And since she was showing off her new trick I thought I would catch it on video since a picture doesn't really show it off.

And here is Irie with the Easter Bunny. I couldn't get her to smile but she would wave.

just some new pics

This is what I saw when I went to get Irie this morning. Then I was trying to get ready so I turned on The Backyardigans for her to watch and she crawled her way across the room to get closer to the tv.And a rear serious picture, I think it is cute.
