The Downie Gang

Thank you to all the Men and Women who graciously serve are country. For your willingness to sacrifice your own life for the love of a FREE country. May God bless you and protect you and your family. Because of you all my family and friends were able to have a memorable Memorial Day Weekend. It started off with a six year old birthday bash. What fun we all had. Devon had a ninja cake, obstacle course, and a picture scavenger hunt. Thank you to all his friends, he had a great day. We had friends in town, The Fletchers and Mike. I have to say you never know how the weekend will go when you add 5 more people to your home. Some times you can't wait for your guest to leave. This was not the case at all. For JB and I it was relaxing, enjoyable, and a ton of fun. Friday was the birthday bash, Saturday the boys went golfing while the mommy's took the kiddo's to the park and a walk down to the Boise river. The night ended at are friends house the Thompson's. What gracious hosts their are. Opening their home to are friends, and hosting a awesome night. Thank you Jim and Mandy!!! Sunday was great too. We woke with 35min tell church started. We made it! We got to worship are Lord and Savior, then headed home for a afternoon adding the Barrass to the mix. Barbecue, slip and slide, pool, pizza, America's funnest video, hike, then wrapped up the night with a game of wiffel ball in the street with the tones turned up. AMAZING.

Caden thought he was pretty tough getting me with a squirt gun. Little did he know that I would jump in with my clothes on:)

Lauren's first time in the pool since three months ago, she is not happy. To bad sis your going in.

Hay, hold me

Devon cut his finger with a pocket knife we bought him. We are teaching him responsibility. JB had just laid the ground rules with him and out he went. Not 10 seconds later Cam came running "blood, their is blood every where". After some TLC, JB decided he could use the knife with an adult. I was over hearing their conversation, "Devon daddy is sorry you hurt your self ", Devon,"that's ok dad". JB, "I will do a better job next time showing you how to use you knife safely". I am so thankful for a man who leads and guides with kindness and love. Devon is on stick two of making a spear.
