Swimming Pool

Mason, Sayge, Shaylee, Grandma Laura and I went swimming yesterday. The girls loved the slide and Mason was so great! He is such a good boy. He just loves watching people...he is so observant.

Beach & Birthday

Skye, Becca, the boys, Darin, Shannon, Marlee, Sayge and Shaylee came up for a visit! Kev took the Skye & Darin fishing. They had a great time. Caught six steelhead...four were keepers. Then we took all the kids out to Seaside. We had a yummy lunch then spent a few hours at the beach. It was great to see everyone. And Mason slept through his first beach trip...imagine that! He is such a good boy and we are so blessed to have him in our lives!

And yesterday day was Sayge and Laura's (my mother in law) birthday! Kev bbq'd some burgers and then we had an ice cream sundae party! Sayge is 8 years old...I can't believe it. It seems like we just got her yesterday.

The girls are staying with me for the week. Then we are heading to Burns and I get to visit my family for two weeks. It will be nice to go home...maybe rake some hay =) And I know Grandma Jana is dying to see Mason man!

Hoyt Family Reunion

We had a Hoyt Family Reunion over the 4th of July in Sun River! We had such a great time...lots of great food, catching up, canoeing, swimming, bike riding, basketball, an amazing talent show and lots of other fabulous events! My mother has a BIG family...she had seven brothers. Five of them were able to make it and lots of my cousins, their spouses and children. We are having the next one in another three years and we can't wait!

Catch up...

We have been BUSY! Summer finally arrived on the coast...thank goodness. We needed some sunshine. I have been busy with school work...only three weeks left of summer term. Kev had his first month back at work...it was a hard goodbye. And he is about to leave again! He got to do some fishing while we were home...steelhead and sturgeon. I got to go sturgeon fishing one afternoon...I hooked into a monster! Probably an eight footer! I fought him for a LONG time finally got him to the boat and kev was trying to pick it up for a picture and it flopped out of his hands. I was so BUMMED! Kev said it weighed at least 150 lbs...oh well. Kev caught this 50 incher the other day though...

Mason does not love the hot weather! Especially with no air conditioner! He is such a good boy though. We had his two month check up on the 7th and he weighed in at 12 lbs 2 ounces and 24 inches. The first round of shots were a challenge. Poor guy...temp of 102 in 90 degree heat! I felt terrible. The doctor said he is doing great tho...healthy, growing boy!

Above is my yard sale special coffee table. I shattered our old glass one (sad story!) so I was determined to find a "child proof" replacement. This solid wood rounded corner beauty was $20! And with $10 of paint and the supplies below is my final product =) I am quite pleased!

Kev did get to come home for his first father's day. Mason made him a photo book to take on the boat and got him the oudoor channel. It is $3 a month and Mom has not wanted to get it...watching hunting and fishing is NOT my favorite pastime. Kev was VERY happy tho =) We went to his grandparents for a BBQ...the weater wasn't too nice but we played some basketball and had some yummy food!

All the Johnson (Kev's moms side...) cousins...

The boys playin basketball...Beve looks like a dork!

Just can't get enough of this sweet face...

I love this little boy so much...end of story!

He always puts a smile on my face...

These are his new shades from Grandma...have some growing to do before they fit!

Mason is doing great...he is a great baby. He eats all the time and is definately growing...=)

Last week with daddy...

We have had Kev home from work since the end of April...it has been so nice! We are sad that he has to go back to work but we are grateful that he works so hard for us. We spent the last week at home together...we finally got some decent weather and got out of the house! We have been fishing down at the creek, going on walks, watched Tanner's t-ball game and planted some flowers (which I hope I can keep alive!).

Mason did alot of napping too...
First fishing trip...

Walking down to T's t-ball game...

We were sad to see him go this morning but he will be home soon...=)

Shelby's Graduation...

We spent the first weekend of June we spent in Burns. It was a busy weekend! Shelby graduated from high school, we had family pictures, it was Shery's birthday and we blessed Mason. Not to mention it was Mason's first trip to Burns so he had to meet a lot of people =)

Mason with his aunties...
My parents got Shelby an Edge for graduation...she was VERY surprised!

All dressed up for graduation...

Shelby and Dallas's (our cousin) graduation...we're so proud of them!

My parents had a BBQ for the graduated and birthday kids. It was great to be home and see everyone. I didn't get a picture of Mason on his blessing day =( I can't believe I spaced it. But my brother gave him a beautiful blessing...Thanks Skye!
