I love my grandparents!

Emerson is one lucky kid. He gets to spend every Friday with his granny and Oupa. Can you tell he wants to be just like his Oupa? He usually refuses to wear a hat, but if Oupa is wearing his yellow hat, Emerson wants to have one also! Today he got to go to the park and play. He loves the slides but isn't too sure about the swings. It is always hard to get him to leave the playground when it is time to go. I try to get him to use the little slide first and work his way up to the big ones, but he wants none of that. It HAS to be the big slide for my little man.

Last week he got to take a bus ride downtown with his Granny and Oupa. He had a most wonderful time on the bus and at the fountain. I've never met a kid who loves transportation vehicles as much as Emerson. It doesn't matter what kind either, cars, trucks, busses, planes, trains, you name it! He also got to go to the playground after his full morning downtown.

Summer is finally here!

We had another beautiful weekend here in beautiful Boise, complete with a summer storm Saturday night, although Saturday during the day wasn't too exciting. We ran errands for a few hours then came home so Emerson could take a nap. Brent took a nap as well so Elizabeth was left doing all the laundry. I don't understand how such a little boy (Emerson) can make so much laundry! Then we took Emerson over to Mom and Dad Dietz's house while we went out to celebrate our anniversary that we didn't have a chance to do last weekend. We went to the Outback Steakhouse. It is always such a treat to have dinner alone together. Sunday we spent most of the day in the pool with Grandma and Grandpa. Once Emerson got used to the pool again, we couldn't get him out! Then yeserday (Monday) Kevin and Stevie came to town for the night and we had a wonderful Salmon dinner.

Full Weekend!

We had a fabulously fun weekend! On Saturday we went to the zoo and Emerson just loved it. Then the two boys (Brent and Emerson) took a long nap together while mommy got some personal time in to read. Sunday was both Father's Day and our sixth wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful brunch at mom and dad Butterfield's house with both sides of the family. Emerson and Spike had a lot of fun playing fetch. Then the dads and Rob all went to drive go-carts. Emerson even got to go around the track on his daddy's lap really slow. He absolutely LOVES cars! After all this activity we had a nice dinner of bar-be-qued chicken at mom and dad Dietz's house and went home to pass out from our fun filled weekend.

p.s. Elizabeth passed her FE exam and is now an EIT
