Chris, Celeste, Baylee & Dax--Sept. '08

Well, this seems like a lot of pressure to have to write something on here. I usually leave this crap to Celeste, but started reading everyone's "posts" so I thought I would put my best foot, or finger, in this case, forward. Ha. Man, I already feel gay doing this (no offense intended to anyone, wink, wink). O.K.. This summer was really fun. We did a lot of really great things and had some good family time together. Baylee played soccer starting in June and it went through the end of July. I had a really hard time watching it because they don't keep score at her age and Baylee just didn't seem to have the competitive spirit that her dear old dad has such issues with. I just wanted to get out there, push all the little Mexican girls down and kick the ball in the goal for her, but obviously I've got to temper some of those desires or else I will end up in jail. Not currently on my list of things to do.
We also went camping on the 4th of July to Copper Basin which is near Mackay, ID. It's about 2hrs. from Blackfoot and not too far from the biggest mountains in Idaho. I'ts definitely my idea of a good time for sure. Celeste on the other hand is extremely afraid of being eaten alive by wild beasts. She is a very good woman to go camping with us because she barely sleeps at night laying awake to listen for various animals i.e. sasquatch or something else that might take her or her babies away. I bought a pistol last year and I believe it makes her feel a little better about sleeping out in the "wild". We took the kids new 4 wheeler and my dirtbike and had a great time riding around the area and having fun together. Overall, I think we had a wonderful time spending time together.
Baylee just started school a few weeks ago and everything seems to be going well. She is always asking us questions about why some of her friends don't go to church and say prayers and things like that, so we try to be as politically correct with her as possible in explaining how the world works, but we just laugh because it seems like everything just goes right over her head. Dax is getting his potty training down pretty well now. He doesn't have too many mess ups anymore(at least that what I hear). I'm always at work, so I'm glad Celeste is heading that job up. Oh, and as a side note, our mexican neighboor just got arrested for spray painting just about all of Blackfoot it seems. At least it's not cocaine! A little graffiti never hurt anyone. I'm just glad they aren't Indians! Ha. Man, I am such a redneck. See what staying close to home and living in Idaho will do for you.
Hopefully, this gives everyone a little update on what our family is up to. We've enjoyed reading everyone's post's and I will be eternally grateful to Shaunell for coming up with this idea. Go check out our pics on our family blog. That is Celeste's doing, and frankly, this is the first time I have done anything like this(after reading the crap I just wrote you probably understand why I stay away from this sort of thing). I am an idiot, but I love all of you guys and wish we could all get together more often. Uncle Charlie, dad, and myself are all about ready to get hunting here in a few days and I wish it's something that I could do with more of my family. Wish you all a good fall season and I probably won't write anything again anytime soon, so I thought I would get as much out now as I could. Love you all! Bye, bye.
