New Swing Set

"My Three Sons".

Caleb, Bryan and Blake love their new swing set. We got it from Rhett and Allysse, who just bought a new house and it had a swing set, but they already had one of their own. So they gave us this one. It needs new swings, but my boys love the slide the best.

Bryan is a Monkey.

Here is where we (with alot of Trent's help), took out the chain-link fence on the east side of the house and moved it to connect to the cow pasture. Now it is just one big yard on the side. This is where the swing set is.

Here you can see where the swing set is by the side yard of the house.

Our Family Picture with Grandpa's flowers and painting.

I will miss my Grandpa Tietjen very much. He was a very kind person. I am glad that I got to grow up living next to him. My favorite story was when I went to ask him for glue for a school project. But He couldn't hear me very well. When he finally understood what I wanted, he said "Yah, I got glue." And he brought me wood glue.

My favorite saying of grandpa's was his Indian word "Yah-ta-Hey"(not sure on spelling.) I remember going over and eating Indian Fry bread that he made and hearing his stories.

Love YOU Grandpa!

Tietjen Family Reunion

Our Tietjen Family Reunion at our house was from July 3-4th. It started to rain so we had our dinner in the Garage (not the shop mom!). Here is all the kids eating. (Bryan, Tietjen, Kiri?, Blake, and Kristie). Below is the rest of us eating.

The "Bruce" boys! Here is my Dad with Caleb.

We had a pie making contest. Everyone made a different pie to share. It was delicious.

Caleb on the 4th of July.

We lit our fireworks the night of the 3rd of July. Trent and Kim bought some in Wyoming and put on a good show.



Blake didn't like the Noise!!!!

It was a long fun filled day, and this is how Blake fell asleep sitting up against our bed. He was so tired that he fell asleep during scripture and prayer.

On the 4th of July Bryan and Blake helped Shilo and I, do a flag ceremony to celebrate our country's birthday.

We made wood boats and floated them down the canal for a race. The kids loved it and of course The BINGHAM'S WON!!!!

(so there Jeff! just kidding)
