4th of July

Our 4th of Julys are pretty much identical every year but I love our traditions and it is by far my most favorite holiday of the year.

We always start by going to the parade in Wilder at noon... then go to the park for lunch and music then in the evening head to the derby. Jace has recently become obsessed with the derby and cannot wait until he is old enough to drive in it. Gosh he is too much like his dad. Ry told me that he is going to be an art teacher but will take the day off to drive in the derby as well.... anyone who knows Ry knows the derby doesn't really fit his personality and I have a feeling he will be more involved with it from behind the scenes then actually in it.

Jace ripping his tooth from his mouth while waiting for the parade... that kid will do just about anything for money!!


Some of the cousins on the Love side (not that there is any cousins or ever will be on the Corbet side)


The boys and I

Swimming Lessons

Both the boys did swimming lessons for the first time this year. I took them over to Givens Hot Springs because I had heard wonderful things about the teacher there and she defenitely did not disappoint... she was wonderful!!! Neither of the boys "passed" on to the next level but she is very particular about passing them... they have to be able to do everything correctly before moving on. Which is what I loved most about her... if I am going to pay for lessons I want my boys to be able to swim well.





Ry was pretty nervous to jump by himself and never did try but Jace of course had no fear and was more comfortable with the water.

Regional Wrestling

WOW... I know how incredibly far behind I am. We have just been to darn busy, literally! Barely been home. So now it is time for catch up. We left on Fathers Day and headed to Pocatello for regional wrestling for Jace. What an amazing experience that was. There was kids from Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, California, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and these kids can wrestle. You don't come from Hawaii to wrestle in Idaho unless you are one of the best. Jace got put out pretty quickly but he had an great time and what an amazing experience it was for him!!

This video was of his second match... his 1st one he did much better. Went through the whole 1st round with the kid before he was pinned.


Rylan and his friend Trenton Fisher hanging out.



He wrestled on Tuesday and I woke up Tuesday morning feeling kinda icky... luckily I got to watch him wrestle before Tuesday afternoon when the icky turned into full on flu. How terible to be stuck in a hotel room with the flu. Then to have to drive 5 hours home with it. YUCK!! About 4 days later I started rounding the corner and feeling a bit better. It was a nasty one.
