The Ida-Q made an appearance at Seth and Melissa's rehearsal dinner. Grandpa Hamilton would have loved to see this parked in his driveway!
Not too sure about sitting in the grass...
Poor Jesse and Chris are out numbered by the Hamilton ladies!
So far only Uncle Scott and Emma the dog have been able to get Meredith to belly laugh.
We are thankful it's only 99 degrees today!
Grandpa Gene got to walk his niece down the aisle.
Pretty view from the Sawtooth Winery.
Meredith is pooped from being passed around!
Meredith is up to all sorts of new tricks. She can sit up all by herself now. We are glad someone is actually using the big tub, even if it's Meredith in her ducky. She got too big for her little infant tub. She also likes to eat her toes.
The boys made it home safe and sound after having their floating/fishing trip down Big Creek cut short by a forest fire. I think I see a captain-less boat?
Shadle Park Class of 96' VIPs.
Meredith loves the lake and her Nana!
We spent a lovely day out at Kathie and Mikes house on Long Lake. The York's enjoyed themselves...
Meredith likes the "new" highchair Grandma Karan bought at an antique store. No safety straps on this one!
Meredith and I are just wrapping up a week long visit to Spokane. Meredith had lots of grandparent time, she loves reading magazines with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Karan gives great baths and even warms up Meredith's towel in the dryer...more Spokane pictures to come!
We had a bridal shower for Shannon on Saturday. She looks pretty darn good for one hour of sleep! Jeannette and Fisher got in on the shower action as well. Meredith loves spending time with Shannon, we're so lucky AJ found her!
Meredith likes her new highchair. And she really likes applesauce!
We made our way to Stanely Idaho (the prettiest spot in Idaho!) for the 4th of July wedding of John and Heidi. Despite the rained out reception, we had a wonderful time!
AJ, the gunslinging groomsman
Jeannette, Mugsy and a sleeping Birdie...
A western wedding is not complete without a noose.
While in Stanley for John and Heidi's wedding, we popped over to Sun Valley to say hello to Jesse's aunt Paula. Paula operates the Cosmic Canine Country Club, she has transformed her property into doggy heaven. CCCC comes complete with water features and a pond for the pooches. 27 dogs were staying with Paula when we visited!
We made a trip to the Natatorium for some family swim time. Meredith loves the water, they have a great kiddie pool!
Maybe I'm not feeding Meredith enough?
Pirates of the Payette II was a success! Once again we were the hit of the river. Argggggg.
Real pirates drink wine straight out of the bag.
We got two new IK's this season, so much fun!
Man overboard!
After the mutiny, Andy is NOT a happy pirate.
Princess Morgan celebrated her 2nd birthday last night and it is sure to be a memorable one. At least for Ryan and Sarah, they are oh so happy that Jeremy surprised Morgan with a kitten (and really surprised the rest of us too!). Ryan is already plotting revenge....
The kids go bonkers over the new kitty.
Jeremy wrangles the troops!
Meredith loves her Great Grandma Thelma and Great Grandma Betty.
Just give her a box and she's happy!
Four generations!
Cousin Jace LOVED playing with Meredith. He fed her, took her for walks and gave her baths. Such a nice boy!
Libby showed Meredith how to play with playdoh, she likes it!
Libby, Isabelle and Meredith playing at GG's house in Anaconda. The first time they have met!
Meredith had a nice weekend at home. She likes to play in the yard and blow bubbles and she loves to jump and watch her dogs through the screen!
Here is Meredith looking a bit guilty as she tries to tear into the pretty flowers Jesse sent me on our 3rd anniversary. How times change!
Grandma Karan made a visit to Boise this weekend. We traveled up to McCall on Friday to check out our new cabin since Meredith and I had not seen it yet. We LOVE it! Meredith especially loves the beach and her "resting" spot on the grass. I'm sure Jesse has visions of a speedy new ski boat tied up to the dock...we'll see about that!
On Thursday evening we took a picnic to the Idaho Botanical Gardens with the Andersons. Poor Fisher is already getting bossed around by Meredith.
Another wedding weekend for us, this time cousin AJ got married to Shannon. It was wonderful, Meredith got to meet lots of family!
The reception was held at the top of Bogus Basin Ski Resort.
My favorite part of the wedding, the cak! And it was the BEST cake I've ever had...
Dr. and Mr. Foster!
Meredith is enjoying the reception.
A lovely Idaho evening!
