AJ Swimming Lessons

AJ started swimming lessons on Monday and he has two other little boys in his class. He absolutely loves going but still doesn't like having his head under the water. The teacher was trying to have them put their finger on their nose and then put their finger into the water...AJ passed on that lesson...Guess mom should have dunk him more in the bathtub :) Summer is going fast and Chris will be gone for Scout camp all next week :( but we are really looking forward to our family vacations we get to spend together this July and August. Also, I survived having my tonsils out...followed 2 days later by ending up in the hospital with pneumonia. I highly do NOT recommend it!!! Those darn nurses j/k...But Thanks To Chris, My Mom and His Mom we all survived. Well that is about all here in Idaho Falls. Love You All!

Well thanks to Chris & alot of hard work - grass removal, sprinkler pipe moving etc. we have a garden this year. We are hoping to break the jinx of moving before we ever get to harvest the corn. We also planted 12 trees, strawberries and new flowers...bye, bye bushes!!!

Hello All -Sorry no pics (can't find the camera). We are excited as last night might have been the last snow...we hope. I am getting very excited to see little green tiny plants starting to peak through the dirt around my house. Last fall we planted over 200 bulbs so hopefully soon the reward...I will have to take pics when they start to bloom. We are also planting strawberries in the flower beds out back...hopefully this will keep AJ a little busy this summer. Sometime in the next couple of weeks we will also be putting in the garden, some bare root poplar trees in the back and some daisy bushes in the front flower beds...still a little cold yet. Yesterday for family night we went to Heise Hot Springs and let AJ swim his little heart out and then ended with "yummy pizza". Uncle Tim & Marquee are staying at our house until they can move back into their home in Idaho Falls the beginning of May - Pam and Madison are hopefully soon to follow as I think Uncle Tim & Marquee are missing them a lot. Heather and her new husband Timmie "Yes another Tim for our family" are in our prayers as they are both in the Airforce bootcamp and separated at this time. Ryan & Danielle bought a new house...click on their link to see pics...congratulations! Josh...I hope the toothfairy found your tooth...you are growing up way too fast. Kevin, Shelley & Kylee...We Miss You!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the Pics. We Love You All :)Chris, Kim & AJ

Yes- I know a little behind in our posts. Here are some easter pics from Utah...thanks to Jaimie as I can't find our camera anywhere. AJ was spoiled rotten...imagine that...with an easter egg hunt at Scera Park, one at Grandpa & Grandma Rieske's house and one at Uncle John & Aunt Jaimie's house...needless to say it was a great time seeing everyone...AJ especially likes to see his cousins...he prays every night for "the kids" meaning them and Kylee who lives far far away in Texas....luckily he gets to see her picture on the blog site. AJ also got spoiled in Idaho as Grandma and Aunt Tonia colored easter eggs with him and yes...more easter baskets aka (more candy) in Idaho- what a life!

Hello - well I had a couple of people ask for a picture of our house (we actually bought it in June)...so instead of mailing it I will just post it here. As for us we had a funeral on tuesday, Chris's Uncle Harold passed away. The funeral was very nice and it was good to see all Chris's family. Hope all is well with you and your families.
