Blackfoot Fair

WE LOVE THE FAIR!! It was even more exciting this year with Tydon old enough to enjoy it. We were able to go early afternoon on Friday before it got too crazy...







































He especially enjoyed the rides...









My favorite part was the DARTS!! Tydon creamed Gordon!! It was so funny... Gord was 3 for 5 and Tydon was 4 for 4!! He hit every shot he threw and won a bear!!

Go Brody #22

My "little" brother Brody is a playing JV football this year! I can't believe how big he is getting.... Gordon went fishing while Tydon and I went to the game with Grandma. Before the game... Tydon decided he wanted Swedish Fish for dinner :) crazy kid!




Tydon found a cute friend his age to play with during the game. This kid is NOT shy!

Tydon was yelling "Go Brody" most of the game...so cute!


I'll get some better pictures this week when they play Hillcrest. Guess we know where we'll be every Thursday night!

Happy Birthday Berkli

Tydon's cousin Berkli turned 2 on September 1st so we went to party in Rexburg at Gordon's sister's house. We love the Chadwick family... it's always a good time there.

Tydon was even excited about the girly gifts :)












True Girl!!










Tydon's party is next month!! Let me know if you have any fun Halloween party ideas for kids.

My Fun Projects

I've posted a link to my NEW blog. I've had some orders for changing pads so I've decided to keep it separate. Just click on the link to the right to view what I've done so far.

Lasik Eye Surgery!!

For graduation our parents got Gordon Lasik! He has been so excited about it he could hardly stand it... You can't wear your contacts for 4 weeks before the surgery so he has had to wear his glasses for a month straight.

Last goofy picture with glasses!

The night before surgery my family went to Olive Garden for dinner to celebrate my birthday and my cousin Karli's.

Gordon had to be there at 7:15am and so I dropped him off and Tydon and I went back at 9:30am to watch the surgery.

In the waiting room they had two screens for us to watch.

We could see him laying down and also the doctor's view through the machine. They gave him a teddy bear to hold on his chest through the procedure.

It was AMAZING to watch! It took less than 5 minutes for both eyes and then he was done.



They had him wear two clear lenses over his eyes so he wouldn't be tempted to touch his eyes the first day. His eyes were dilated for the first several hours so it was hard to see because it was so bright. After surgery we went out to Mud Lake to relax.

When Gord watched TV for the first time later that day. I thought he was going to cry! He was watching football and he said "I can read the words!!" It was so neat to watch him explore a new world.

His eye check-up the following day concluded with 20/15 vision!!! I'm so excited for Gordon and know this has been the best gift our parents could have ever given him.

After Gord's eye exam we took Tydon to the Tauphus Park Zoo. I haven't been there in years!! Tydon loves animals so he had a blast.


Going early to the zoo is always the best. The petting zoo is open and the animals are usually the most active.












Gordon enjoyed his new eyes and was excited at all the things he could see. When we drive down the road now, he says, "Tell me when you can read that sign." He wants to compare his new eyes :)
