Fishing with Grandpa.

One of my favorite memories growing up is fishing with my dad. Now my son gets to experience the same memories. Thanks dad I Love You!

There was still snow and Jourdon was swimming.

Mattie tends to her fish pile. She loves to get the suckers and stop them from flopping all over. Then she puts them in a pile.

Loosing his tail September 13th 2009.

He lost his tail while I was on vacation around the 19th. My dad took him down to the river and let him go. So I didn't get a final picture but it was neat to watch the transformation.

I am blessed.

I am blessed to live in such a great valley. You always hear about how beautiful Star Valley is and living here it is easy to take for granted the beauty that I live in. I started to try to be grateful for my surroundings and see God in all the things around me. Here is one of Gods blessing to me. This was taken June 18th 2009.

Preschool

Jourdon graduated from preschool on May 19th 2009. This was his first year of school he loved it. He attended in Afton because it worked out well with my store. Here are some pictures around school.

One day while Jourdon and I were at the house by ourselves I looked out the front door and there was a furry little creature looking in the glass. I wasn't sure what it was and as I went to the door it ran off. To me it looked like a squirrel but I have never seen a squirrel at our house the whole time I have lived there. Well a couple of days later Mattie was going crazy running around the house and we soon found out why. This little guy was running about trying to find a place to hide. He was around for a couple of weeks after that but then disappeared.

Swimming Lessons

Jourdon started swimming lessons June 15th and ended on the 26th. It was really cold when he started but he was a trooper and they still swam in the cold. The last day did get rained out. He did really well and progressed this year so that he is okay to put his head under water and was blowing bubbles with his mouth. He loves to use the kick board to swim on his own.

A warm day at the pool. This is what it looked like on the way to the pool the first day.The life guard in the blanket had to save Jourdon on the first day of swimming. He was playing on his kick board while his teacher was helping another child. His board got away from him and was going out to the deep end so Jourdon just went in after it. He went under a couple of times before she got to him but he was fine when she pulled him out and he got right back in. His teacher stoped helping the class right then and taught him how to bob back to the shallow end. It was a little scary and I am grateful she was so attentive and was doing her job so well. This is Jourdon with his teacher Ashley. This is the second year he has had her as a teacher.

He really likes her and really tries to do the things she asks.

He passed his class and next year he will be a level one.
