Summer Has Finally Arrived in Teton Valley (sort of)

While we awaited the arrival of summer in Teton Valley, Grandma Sherry arrived to help care for Kora for the summer while Darren and I work.  We are so lucky.......Kora is thriving with all of the attention!  We love to snuggle with her.......even the dogs.  Stoke follows where ever Kora goes!

This is a very cute hat and booties that my mom's friend knitted for Kora.  Too cute!

As we say hello to new family, we also had to say goodbye for the summer to Scotty!  I am not sure who cried more, Scotty or me.......Wow!  Scott is off to fly and fish in Alaska for the summer!  Hurry home!

The beginning of summer is a good time for dinner with good friends.  Hi Catilin!

It is also a fun time to teach Kora how to play cards.........show me the money.

Think we could go to jail for this one?

Kora continues to gain many new skills.....one of which is smiling constantly.......putting smiles on all of our faces as well.

Grandpa Carl came to visit for a few days.  Kora loves Grandpa Carl!!

Grandpa and Gran came into town for the summer and for our anniversary, they made us the famous, home made Italian sausage.  Kora got to watch, but the secret recipe is safe with her. She said she is not sharing, yet!!!

We spent some time taking in the local scenery.  This is Cave Falls, about a 40 minute drive from our house.

We still like to play dress up with the princess and couldn't pass up the camo!  She is ready for hunting season!!

We spent Darren's first Father's Day surrounded by family, good food and good love!

Kora showing off her mad skills!!!  Playing with toys and tummy time!!

Until next time.............
