Trip To Idaho 5/24-5/31




We went to Boise for Teal's graduation. It was a really nice ceremony. How did this happen so soon? It seems like just yesterday she was Ellen's age. Teal will be attending The College of Idaho in the fall. We got to go see her school. It is really nice and seems like a great fit for her.

We also were able to celebrate Teal's 18th birthday on May 24th.

SISTERS! It is amazing how much they look alike. There are some pictures of Teal at Ellen's age and it is almost hard to tell them apart. They had a lot of fun together. We sure do wish they could spend more time together.

As you can see, Ellen is standing very well and she has even started walking a bit. She has taken up to 6 steps by herself. She is very good at crawling so doesn't work too hard on the walking but it sure is cute when she does it.

Ellen went for her first boat ride in the paddle boat. Everytime she got in, she immediately fell asleep. I think it was just too relaxing and she couldn't move in her life jacket!

Korey got to do a lot of fishing. Ellen fished with him a little bit. She liked the "ball" the most. She is very into anything that is a ball right now. It's one of her favorite words.

She didn't even mind touching the fish or the worms. She has no idea that they are gross or slimy yet.

Korey got to do a little fishing with Teal too. He was very happy that he got to fish with both of his girls.

This is the big catfish that he caught. It weighed 14.5 pounds. Boy was he excited!

This is one of the big carps he caught. One day he was pulling in big fish left and right of every variety.

Korey got to take me and Ellen to Cabela's for our first time. Ellen liked looking at all of the big animals and the fish in the aquarium.

Ellen got to meet all of her cousins on Korey's side of the family and her Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Peery. She had never met any of them before. Grandma and Grandpa surprised us by coming to Boise. We didn't know they were going to be there. The boys are Nathan, Mitchell and Michial. The girls are MacKenzie, Shelby, Ellen and Teal.
