Aubrey's Blessing

We had such a wonderful day with family for the blessing of Aubrey and Samuel.  We were so lucky to have all our family (almost) to be with us.  Thanks a bunch to Rachael for taking wonderful pictures for us.

Shilo did a wonderful job on her blessing.

It was such a wonderful day.  The weather was perfect for our luncheon outside.  We enjoyed being with family and friends to celebrate Aubrey and Samuel.  It was so neat that we were able to bless them on the same day.

Captured Daddy's Heart

The Bingham Family-- Blake didn't like the flash.

Going Home!  We got to go home the next night.  We were so excited.

 

The next day- Aubrey and her 4 crazy brothers.

 

She was born with LOTS of dark thick hair.  Her hair is long enough to put a hair clip in!

We are having so much fun with baby Aubrey.  We are so glad she is finally here.  We really appreciate Kurt and JaLene for watching the boys while we were in the hospital.  I love the flowers that Mom and Dad sent.  Shilo surprised me with a rose and balloons.  Shilo's work also sent a bouquet.  The people in our ward are giving us meals with love and support.  We are so blessed.

Getting Bigger!!!

My boys just keep growing up  and getting bigger.  Here are some of our new happenings.

Bryan wanted to start helping with mowing the lawn! ( I know why I have boys, now!)  I just love the help.

Blake learned to ride his bike with out training wheels.  He came to me and asked if I would help him learn.  He learned in one evening.

I took the boys fishing at Free Fishing Day at Jensen's Grove.  Lets just say it was an interesting experience being by myself with 4 boys, fishing poles, and hooks!

Blake lost his first official tooth.  As you can tell he was thrilled with the experience of me pulling it. (It was super loose and actually came out really easy.)

Gavin now sleeps in a toddler bed.  He took to it in one night.  We are going to eventually move him up stairs with Bryan.

Yes, I'm getting bigger too.  We are just waiting for baby.  Only 1 1/2 weeks left.

Happy 24th of July!  We had a Ward Party Celebration.  The Relief Society was in charge.  (Isn't it nice that I was just released!)

 Well, That is the update for the Bingham Family.  The next one will be all about the BABY!!!!!!!!!!

Bear Lake Camping Trip

This year to celebrate the 4th we wanted to go camping at our favorite place: Bear Lake! 

This is the third year in row that we have camped in this spot.

Cool Kids!  They loved going down to this creek.  We even had a deer roaming in the camp.

We wanted to go on a hike, so we drove down to this trail.  It turned out to being a short walk to a pond, that you can see from the road.  The most adventurous part: not stepping on cow pies!

Roasting Marshmallows.

 The next day we packed up and drove down to North Beach.

The boys had so much fun in the water, especially with the alligator they named "George!"  Uncle Jeff would pull them and give rides on it.

Gavin learned to love the water and sand. He was good friends with Aiden.

My parents and Jeff and Mickie wanted to join us for the fun at the Beach.  We had such a fun day.

Jeff, Aiden, and Tietjen.

 Everyone had so much fun, especially the kids playing with their cousins.  It was a nice hot day, and the water wasn't too high so we had a good beach.  We packed up around 4 and went and got icecream in Soda Springs.  That night we bought and shot off fireworks.  We could also see the Jensen's Grove fireworks from our house, and I could see, really small, the ones from Pocatello.

Yes I am tent camping at 35 weeks pregnant.  My sister Mickie kept saying I was crazy or amazing!  This was our last family summer adventure.  The rest of July will be getting ready for the BABY!

June was so BUSY!

June went by so fast for us.  We did a lot of fun things.  Here is some of the highlights!

Our trip to Utah, June 8-9.  The boys got to have a sleep over at Brookie's.  She spoiled them rotten and they loved it. (The call her the "Favorite Aunt").

Then we went to Thanks Giving Point and to the Dinosaur Museum.  We went 5 years ago with just Bryan and Blake.  It was fun to go back now that the boys are older.

Shilo and I at the Museum.

The kids love playing in the sand and water, and digging for bones.  This is Caleb, with Addison and Landon.

My Grandma Johnson's birthday/ Cooley Reunion at the Park.

This month we did swim lessons for two weeks at the Blackfoot Pool.  The boys learned alot this year and less afraid of the water.

Bryan and Blake were in the same group.  Blake likes to back floats, and Bryan likes the front strokes.

Blake loved the diving board in the deep end.

Caleb loved it All!  He liked the slide and the diving board.  He just doesn't like to put his face in the water.

 Father's Day!

The boys got Shilo a Bottle Rocket Launcher!  We have a lot of fun with it.

 Cub Scout Day Camp!

I got to go half a day to Bryan's  Day Camp.  He just loved it.  He got to shoot a BB-gun, Archery, rope a metal cow, etc.  He even bought a pocket knife.

My baby girl shower in Idaho Falls.  My Tietjen relatives came, and some of my friends from High School.  I kick myself for not getting a picture with them.  I having another shower with the Bingham relatives, and ward friends in July.  I love getting cute pink things.!!!

June 29th and 30th we went camping with Weston and Kara at Island Park.  We had a fun time. Kurt and JaLene came up and had lunch with us.  Both of my batteries on my camera were dead so I have to get some copies of pictures that Kara took.

It has been a busy month, but we've enjoyed every moment of it.

Class of 2024!

Blake's Kindergarten Graduation was today.

Congratulations Blake!

They had a cute program where they told what each kid wants to be when they grew up, sang songs, and got their diploma and awards.

Nana with Gavin, Blake, Grandpa and Grandma Bingham with Caleb.  Shilo got to go to the program and then went back to work.

Afterwards in their class, we watched a slideshow of the kids throughout the year, and they made a copy for each of us to take home.  Gavin wanted to sit by Blake and gave him a hug.

It was a really cute program, and I can hardly believe the year is over.

Adventure Day was last week and I got to go and help for part of the day.  The kids got to ride a horse, go on a hayride, milk a cow and make butter, look for bugs, play games outside, etc.

Here is Keaton and Blake flying kites.

Here they are grinding wheat for their pancakes.

Here they are shooting bottle rockets.  

It was a cold day, but the kids had lots of fun.
