Shawn's Birthday!

July 31st was Shawn's birthday... Sammy and I practiced all the singing "Happy Birthday," so he was so excited to sing for his Daddy....and was more than willing to help blow out the candles!

Reecey was there too...just hanging out.
This is Sammy & I making Shawn's cake earlier that day....his favorite is chocolate cake with white frosting....and Sammy's touch was the mickey mouse sprinkles!

He had so much fun making Daddy's Birthday cake...and making a big mess...and testing the frosting

Grandma Schulthies

Shawn's Grandma Joan Schulthies lives in Nyssa...so we took the opportunity to spend a few minutes with her. Here she is showing Sam the different places of the world on her globe. Sammy is wearing Grandpa Schulthies' hat


Shawn & her just catching up

Meg to the rescue

On our first day in Washington, Reecey was really upset...and I was trying to unpack..

But have no fear...cousin Meg to the rescue!!!!!

Of course we had to make cookies! Sammy is always good to help with the dishes!

Sammy hanging out in Washington

Say Cheese.. Sammy & Jill are just days apart in age...so they played and played..

Sammy loved the pigs

Shawn's cousin Sam's kids raise pigs for the fair...and Sammy loved them...


He would have stayed for a long long time if we would have let him!

Canyon County Fair

On our way home from Washington we stoped at the Canyon Canyon Fair in Idaho and met Sam & Sydney. We had so much fun! Here Shawn is getting us some yummy (but really fattening) fair food....mini donuts!

Sammy can't decide which way to go.

Shawn's cousins...Sydney, Sam, Shawn, Mark D & Brenda. We love spending time with them!
All Hartley boys..
Piggy rides?

Sydney was so cute with Reecey!!!
