Cory's office.

I took these pictures on Friday while waiting for Cory to finish up his work.

I was laughing so hard because Cory can hide in his chair. It's so big, nobody would ever know he was there.

I've said this before, but Coyr has a drinking problem. First I noticed his huge mug, then, whats that you see, a mini one hiding behind it. HA HA!!!

Tyler was helping Cory out by handing him all the stuff he printed out.

Then crawling all over his humongous chair.

Jason and his duck lips.

Tyler loves all the toys at Daddy's work. Cory and I are so lucky to both have jobs that if we had to, we can take our kids to work. Well, I take Jason every time I work, but, he's pretty easy to handle.

Eggplant Parmesan

Fresh Spaghetti sauce and baked eggplant paremesan.

YUMMY!

What a ginormaus plate of eggplant parmesan.

This is the pile of discarded eggplant that Cory and I both ate one little bite out of.
SICK.

Jason waiting for us to finish our "delicious" meal.

And

Tyler eating the best part of the meal. Fresh bread.

So, Cory and I decided to be adventurous and try to make our own eggplant Parmesan. We like to order it when we go out to dinner, but we've never tried to make it before. We were so excited because our spaghetti sauce was home-made. Mad eout of the fresh tomatoes from Dad and Dad's neighbor Vic's garden. We even put in fresh zucchini. Well, needless to say, the eggplant did not turn out very good. It wasn't even edible. We ended up trowing it away. We do have one more eggplant in our fridge....ANY SUGGESTIONS???

STATE FAIR

"Our State Fair is a grand state fair, don't miss it, don't even be laaate."

That's right, we went to the fair a few weeks ago. We knew Tyler would love it. We ended up going on a horrible night though. It was the night of the POISON concert. IT was so crowded and busy, we could hardly make our way through parts of the fair. All in all though, it was a good trip.

Highlights: Tyler loved the cows. Yes, the cows.
The McKee's petting Zoo.
Tyler was so excited to ride the quarter ride horse.
A COSCO Membership.

What more could you ask for in a FAIR?

Ohhh, look at those cows.

Tyler was able to go right up to the cows and sit by them. The cow owners helped him pet the cows backsides.

Goats. There were so many goats.

The quarter ride horsey. Tyler loves this thing.

It looks like he is going to fall asleep.

McKees petting zoo.

I love this picture of Ty.

He let the goats eat their food right out of his hand.

They even licked him.

And, the best part of the fair for Cory and I......yes, how can you not guess this?? A new COSCO membership. Our COSCO is opening on October 23. We are counting down the days. We are so excited for this store to open. YEAH!!!

Mike and Cel's Visit: SUNDAY

Sunday was a little more adventurous than Saturday. We all went to Idaho Falls again and went to church with Grandma Joy. Then, we went back to her house and visited for a little while. About an hour later we went to Brad and Julies for some dinner. There was so much good food there.

We visited with the family and a few of us played 13 and Bannagrams. I am so good at 13. During one of the games, I asked Cory to check on Tyler downstairs because it had been awhile since we had seen or heard from him. Well, Cory came back upstairs and said that Tyler wasn't downstairs. UH OH. So, we both ran upstairs and looked in all the rooms. We came upon two locked doors that had a Jack and Jill bathroom in between them. I heard laughter. Crap, the two 3 year olds had locked themselves in the bathroom. Cory and I opened the door and walked into an inch of water. The boys, Christopher and Tyler, had filled the tub up with water and had empty cups that they were dumping water out of both the bathtub and the toilet. SICK. They were both soaked from head to toe. When Julie asked Christopher what they were doing upstairs, he said, "Having lots of fun!" When I asked Tyler what happened in the bathroom, he kept saying, "Christopher did it." I feel bad though, because all that water leaked through the ceiling and into Brad and Julies bedroom and into the front entryway light fixture. I wish there was something we can do. Let us kknow Brad and Julie if we can help with anything.

After the adventures at the Hatch house, we went back to Pocatello. Cory and I can never resist a party, so we played more games with Jared, Jess, Cel, and Jenny before she headed to bed. WE staye dup so late laughing at eachother and having a good time. It's always so much fun to see the Albuquerque Hobbs. I love you guys.

Mike and Cel's Visit: Saturday

Here is a picture of handsome Cory.

Mario on the tricycle.

Cute picture of Jared and Jenny.

The fire. Dad with Tyler and Skyler (Heathers youngest).

This is how Tyler really felt about the fire.


Oh my gosh, isn't this the cutest picture ever??? Here is cute Noah, Mario, and Jason.


They aren't having fun anymore.

Classic Jessi-poo.

and

Cute Noah.

Mike, Cel, Jared, Jenny, Mario, Jessica, and Sam arrived last night around 7:00. We had a wonderful dinner at Mom and Dad's house and visited with them until everyone was ready to crash. Today, we met up with everyone in Idaho Falls and went out to dinner with the whole Idaho family. Then, we went to Julie and Brad's for some more visiting in their awesome backyard. Brad even made a campfire in the fire pit. It was fun to have every one together and to see some cousins I haven't seen in a long time. Tomarrow, we are planning on going to church with Grandma and having dinner at her house. Its going to be fun.

Sweet baby

One of my favorite things about babies is watching them sleep. I know that sounds weird, but I just love watching Jason sleep. When it's quiet in the house and Tyler is in bed and we are slowing down for the night, I just love holding Jason in my arms and watching his angelic face. He has no worries....except when his next meal is. He just makes me feel so peaceful inside.
He makes me feel so proud to be his mamma.

BIKES!!!

Here we are standing by our new beauties.

Tyler loved riding on the seat behind Cory, but we had to take it off and put Ty in a trailer instead because he is too big for the seat. He does like the trailer too though.

Last month Cory and I bought new bikes. We are so excited. We've been wanting to get in shape for awhile now and this is one method that we love doing and we can do together. We've been riding everywhere. I rode to work...once. but at least I made it. Cory rides every day to work and we all try to go out for a few miles a couple times a week. If you're familiar with Pocatello, I made it up the Benton street overpass too. I was so proud of myself. It's been really fun. Tyler loves riding with us. We've had to use a bike ride as a bribe for him sometimes, and sometimes he's gotten his bike ride taken away. He loves it though. It been a fun exercise for us and hopefully we'll be able to ride farther by next summer.

Yes, that is a McDonalds you see in the background. And yes, we were trashy enough to ride our bikes to McDonalds, eat, and ride home.

We had to get the Star Wars happy meal. They were giving away Star Wars bobble heads. Who can't resist a Star Wars bobble head....certainly not us.

Tyler likes his fries and hamburger.

Rattle anyone....or any baby!!

Cory thought he was being so funny when he put this maraca in Jason's hand. It was funny because Jason had such a hard grip on it. He was shaking it and shaking it. We were all getting a kick out of it, even Tyler. Until he realized it was his toy we were playing with, then he wanted it back. Jason didn't really enjoy it. If you couldn't tell by the lok on his face.

Family

My three boys, oh my three boys!!

Me and my Tyler.

He was blowing raspberries (or flubbers as we call them) on my cheeks.

Here we are about to put Tyler down to bed. We were having so much fun just hanging out in his room. Did you notice..............he has girl sheets. I think it is funny.
