Fourth of July Weekend

We decided to leave town for the Fourth of July. We went to Palisades Reservoir, we thought it would be crazy busy in all the campsite, but it was not so. It did help that it was cold and rainy all weekend! All the rain did not stop us from having a great time though. We were very thankful that we had the trailer and weren't sleeping in a tent. I'm sure the family next to us had a very wet night! One of the fun things about camping is cooking in the dutch oven. Both Jeremy and I think that it's fun, and like to try different recipes. This was a recipe of Jeremy's and it was a success! A brownie mix topped with a can of pie cherries. Yummmm. (And because we are spoiled trailer campers, we even had vanilla ice cream on top!)

The girls waiting for the cobbler to cool off. They were going a little stir crazy because it rained most of the afternoon.
Maggy practicing fishing. We camped right by the water, but we were in Wyoming so we could not fish legally. The girls were a little disappointed and thought that I was silly that just down the road a mile we were back in Idaho and could fish, but not in the campground. After all it was the same fish in the same lake! I think Jeremy was a little relieved that we were in Wyoming and didn't have to hassle with fishing poles. We tied tree branches on the end of the fishing poles and they were satisfied with "fishing practice!"

We ventured on a hike while the sun was shining. The sunshine lasted about 20 minutes and then our hike was cut short due to a thunder storm. Pretty while it lasted.

Dad and the girls in a clearing of wildflowers. Everything was so green and pretty due to all the rain this year.

Baylee The Soccer Star

Baylee has had so much fun playing soccer. She has worked really hard and gets better every week. She almost scored a goal this week, but soon realized that it was the other team's goal! I didn't know which was more fun to watch, Baylee or Dad as he screamed down the field, "Baylee, wrong way, turned it around, Baylee WRONG WAY!!!" Fun, Fun memories. Baylee got the Yost Red in the face gene. Poor girl. One run down the field and she looks like she has never ran in her life! I heard another little boy on her team ask his mom in amazement, "Mom is my face that red?"

Baylee's team, "The Green Team" how original I know! Coached by Mr. Blakley

Baylee's first year of soccer. I have been so impressed with Rigby's soccer program. After seeing how organized and put together the program is, plus the snazzy uniforms the girls got, I feel like my $100 was well spent. It also helps seeing them have fun while learning something new!

Payge's on Fire Soccer

This is our first year playing soccer. It actually has been more fun to watch than I first thought. Payge is doing good but definitely doesn't have a huge competitive side. She is however very social and likes to run around and follow everyone as they run around. Payge wanted to be the goalie so bad and finally got her chance. She did an awesome job and I think she finally found her spot on the soccer field. Every time Payge goes to kick the ball she starts to twirl her hair around her ear, and forget what she's suppose to do. Silly kid.

This is Payge's team called " On Fire." Coached by Adam Wood, a very kind man.

We Love Our Daddy

Happy Father's Day. We love you and everything you do for us. We also love the fun side of you that we see every now and then!

Tabytha's Blessing Day

We killed two birds with one stone and blessed Tabytha on Father's Day. It was a great day and had just about all our family here! Neil and April were the only ones that could not make it. We had a lovely church service then came home and had hot dogs and salads for lunch. Taby doesn't look very happy about this picture. This was after a long day of being passed from person to person. So I can't blame her!
This is the best picture of Taby we got. I know. . . not that great. She is wearing the booties that Grandma Stavast makes and the gorgeous knitted blanket also came from Grandma Stavast. I swear her knitting looks so perfect it looks like a machine did it.

All for the names sake. Tabytha Doreen, meet your Great Grandma Jesse Doreen Stavast.

Four Generations--Jeremy Green, Tabytha Green, Barbara Green, Doreen Stavast

Eric, we are so glad you made it for dinner even if you were late for the blessing. . .we won't hold against you, and yes you can have a hot dog.

Kera made a surprise visit and came just before church started. Her and Jeff stayed for lunch then headed back to Boise. Misty and Mike were also visiting from Oregon. It was fun to see everyone together again. Raini and Scott, yes they walked the block and came too. Scott even ate a hot dog!

Cute cousin picnic. Maggy is still talking about eating with Bill and Austin!

A Weekend With the Green's

We got the rare opportunity to have Grandpa and Grandma Green plus Rob and Hillori's family visit in the same weekend for Taby's blessing! Talk about crazy fun and busy! Here are a few snapshots of the fun.

Here's Grandpa Green entertaining Maggy by doing his famous "sewing" his finger together trick, plus talking Donald Duck! Wow that's what you call real talent!
Grandma Green is the best at keeping the girls busy doing fun little crafts, needle point, knitting, and other great things I don't have the time and patience for. Here they are using the cricut machine to make paper dolls. A little girls heaven!

Cousins Ashton and Christan the night they got to our house. They all look like they are ready for bed. Ashton and Christan thought it was great because they got to sleep in the camper in the back yard. Rob and Hillori. . .I'm not so sure they were as excited, but were good sports all the same!
All of us eating dinner! The noise level. . . WOW!

A Few Days at Home

While Jeremy was at girls camp we spent a few days at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Misty was there with all the kids. We spent the time in Lava swimming, watching movies, and playing Gutair Hero with Logan. Here is Grandpa doing what he does best. . . cooking a pre ordered Breakfast of hash browns and eggs for the crew in the Yost Cafe.

A picture of the cousins chilling before breakfast in front of morning cartoons.

Logan showing us how to keep a drum beat! We even got grandma and grandpa to play Gutair Hero!
