Welcome to Idaho!

Consuelo Tello Alvarez

Consuelo lived with us for 3 weeks before finding her permanent host family.




Registration for High School just minutes off the plane!

The David and Kenna Kearsley Family Reunion 2010

A friendly game of Ring Toss and Bean Bags!


Priceless!


SUPERSTAR!

Dude!


Adelynn Grace!
 
The cousins are GROWING UP!  STOP!




The cooks and the dining were 1st rate!

Andrew and Raygan are just a few weeks apart and they quickly became tag-along pals!  Too bad they don't get to see each other more often!  Must be time for a trip to Toelle, UT!


Baby Mali!

Sisters-in-Law!  Obviously laughing at a picture of someone!  "WHO COULD IT BE? MARINDA?"


The 4 babies!  All born within 6 months of each other and all together for the 1st time!


Levi and Addy!

Em had a "Minute to Win It!"  How in the world is she doing that?

He's looking over his shoulder to see if Mom's looking


Priceless

Andrew is "drying out with no underwear on a blanket!"  That was his potty training routine, he got hosed off and then had to dry out , after having an accident!
 Grandpa and Grandma took us to a RACE!
They felt super cool!



 CUTEST PICTURE I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!

Greasing the pig!

The COOLEST RIDE EVER!
Emily and Andrew constantly recall the 20 minute ride up the freeway that Grandpa Richard gave them in his Mobile Home.  Emily now says that Grandpa has 2 houses too - "just like Grandma Karla!"  We drove up to a Zips (fast food place) and grabbed dinner!  Seriously!  It was "SO COOL" that Emily tells everyone!




 Swimming Lessons had to come to an end...
1st jumps of the diving board!




The swim instructor asked me to get up there and help Andrew off!  Little did she know that I don't feel my legs and have crutches in the car just in case! HA!  I did it!




This baby always sleeps in the water!  HE LOVES IT!




Yes!  Still sleeping!



3 Bathing Beauties all in a row!

SO tired!  Oh, to be a kid again and get to sleep like this!!!
The last Hurrah! of our fun time in Spokane
was a weekend with Uncle Mike, Aunt Jen, Adeline, Cameron and Grandma Karla at the house in Sandpoint!
DADDY's and their BOYS!




A boat ride out to our favorite spot in the middle of the lake! 
In the middle of the lake there is a place were a sandbar stretches out below you with very soft sand and super shallow waters!  You anchor up and just hang out and play in the middle of the lake!




Uncle Mike walking out as far as he can go to try to find the end of the sand bar.  I think he finally found it!




Cameron just chillin' eating crackers!

More people just chillin'!
S'mores!  Need we say more?

 


The nightlife!  The geese like to gather right outside of Grandma and Grandpa's dock and entertain us with flying overhead every once in awhile!


After some time we just handed over the roasting to the PRO Roaster - Michael!
