Life in the Idaho Mountains...
Aunt Keri always gets the boys skydiving shirts and I want to let her know that they really do wear them....here is the proof!:)
This was taken our freshman year of college (2001)
My birthday- September 2001
We are so excited that Aunt Kelly (my sister) is coming into town today for two weeks! She lives in California and has not seen Ethan since Christmas and has yet to meet her newest nephew Caleb. Have a safe trip Aunt Kelly, can't wait to see you!!

There were some beautiful swans on the lake.
Ethan taking a dip in the lake!
Caleb had a great time too and is even starting to smile! (I can't get a great picture of that yet!)
Yesterday we had a great Fathers Day! It started off by Ethan and Caleb spending some time with dad and giving him their homemade cards and gifts:) Each year I make a scrapbook page for our wall of Jim and his kid(s) and I gave him is new page for our wall. After church, we headed to Jim's parents for a brunch and to spend some time with Grandpa Jastifer!! Ethan made his grandpa's a birdhouse that he painted all by himself and he was really proud of his work. He was more excited about painting the inside of the birdhouse through the tiny hole than the outside if it, but managed to get paint the outside too:) After spending some time with Grandpa Jastifer, we headed out to see Grandpa Biener and the entire Biener side and have a wonderful dinner. After an exciting boat ride (Ethan decided to throw his shoes into the water?? - but the fishing net caught them thank goodness) we headed home. Both kids were asleep before we hit the highway! It was a great day - HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DADS!!
Yes they are wearing matching PJ's that say " Awesome like mommy"!! Thanks Patty, they are so cute!
The happy couple!
Caleb snuggling with Amy!
Me and Amy!! (Love that girl!)
I even ran into our neighbors from college!!
The beautiful bride and myself!
We finally took a family picture! We had not taken one since Caleb was born and since we were all dressed up for a wedding (congrates Nikki and Mike!!), we thought that it would be the perfect time:)
couple days ago Ethan, Caleb, and our entire playgroup went strawberry picking at a farm near Kalamazoo. We picked 7.5 pounds and Ethan found that it was more fun to eat the strawberries than pick them!:)
Looking for the strawberries!
Dr. Jastifer checking out Caleb's head. (yes, that spit-up on my shoulder)
Checking himself out!
Ethan had his 2 year check-up today and he is healthy as can be! He screamed from the minute he entered the doctors office until we left, thank goodness he did not have to get any shots or it would have taken four nurses to hold him down!! 
On Saturday Ethan celebrated his 2nd birthday with an Elmo birthday party! We kept it on the small side, but he had a great time! He is in love with Elmo and of course was spoiled with great presents that have definitely kept him busy over the last couple of days! Thanks to everyone!! One of his favorite presents from his birthday was the sandbox that daddy built, he plays in it ALL the time! Hard to believe that we have a two year old! 
Our little man Caleb or"de-ub" as his big brother calls him is doing great! he has a few gassy days where it bothers him, but he is for the most part a very content little boy. We have grandma Jastifer here this week to help us out and both of the boys are loving that! 
Grandma Jastifer and Caleb:)
Ethan, those shoes look to big for you.... 
or maybe not???
