OUR TRIP TO BEAUTIFUL YELLOWSTONE

OK so the pictures are posted backwards- sorry for that and sorry for so many, I could not just pick a few, I have the same problem when I scrapbook. So long stroy short...my tire blew off the rim, in a residential area, going maybe 15 mph. We are thankful it happened just around the corner from my most favorite and bestest aunt and uncle. They took care of me again! Thanks so much Aunt Teri and Uncle Brent!!
Yellowstone was beautiful but also very cold. It was rainy and very wet and add some slush for fun!
1 of 7 bears that Scott saw! Some were far and some were too close for comfort.
Our little squirrel that hung out on our table to eat our scraps!
So the sign did not stop Scott, Claudia, or RC.
This is the black bear they stocked from our camp.
Some of many elk we saw.
Kellen having S'More fun.
Hiding in a rock.
The Yellowstone Falls- so pretty.
As we walked to the over look of the falls Kellen said, "Mom, I didn't know this was in the world!" Even a 5 year old boy was taken by the beauty our Heavenly Father has created for us.
My boys and I checking out the upper falls.
Boys at Morning Glory Pool.

THE GREATEST DAY OF SCOTT'S LIFE

So I might be lying when I say this was the greatest day of Scott's life, but I bet it ranks pretty high on the list. We went to the game with some friends Julie and Kent and left the boys with grandpa. The high-lights were... 1) Edgar Martinez throws out the first pitch. Just to back log, Scott and Kellen saw Edgar's last career home-run at a game in Texas.
2)Ichiro had some nice hits. Although his hitting streak ended the night before, this game we got to see #1 of his new hitting streak (which may have ended this game, I don't know, I don't keep up as much as Scott does) And yes, Ichiro is looking right at me!!
3)Ken Griffey Jr. Returns to Seattle and Scott got to see him play.
4)Not only did Scott got to see him play, but Jr. brought Ichiro in for the winning run! He hit a double in the 8th and that was enough to win the game. Scott was brought to tears! OK so I am lying again, but the tears were building I know it!

K DUB (DUB= SHORT FOR "W")

Kellen really loves playing all sports, however baseball holds a special place. I really have no clue why!! This is Coach Blaine and Kellen at the banquet.
Kellen was on the City of Richland Little League team The Mets aka The Bees. No they are not linked in any way. The team name is The Mets, but when the Kids saw their uniform they went with The Bees, which really does make more sense than The Mets.
Kellen wanted to see the world through Scott's eyes while they were on the father-son campout. They had a great time. Kellen just loved to hang out with dad in the tent. After they set-up and took a rest on the bed, Kellen had his hands behind his head, was looking up to the sky and said "Ah this is the life."
Very Early morning at the river- getting ready to hike.
Hiking with dad at their camp out.
Showing off his dirty uniform. Kellen loved to slide in baseball. It is true there is no need at all to slide in t-ball/coach pitch, however most of the kids found some reason to try it out.
Give 3 Cheers for the preschool grad!! Kellen finished his 2nd year with Mrs. B and is so ready to go to the "big School".
