The Turner Family

Today the Goulds invited the us and Butlers to go with them to a rope swing they found off the greenbelt behind Veterans Memorial Park. It was a big pond and pretty nice, much warmer than the Boise River was! It was great fun until we decided to go on the rope swing. Ride #1 Kevin caught the toe of his sandal on the rocks on the bank of the water and just tumbled into the water. Ride #2 he leaped off the hill, threw his whole body weight into the air and SMACK, right into the tree holding the rope swing. Fortunately he held onto the swing and fell into the water and not on the rocks at the base of the tree. Youch!! Needless to say, that was all for the Turners. I didn’t dare try it, and Kevn’s pride and body couldn’t handle another ride!

(Tonight, the stratches just sting a bit, but his muscles are sore, like he’d been in a car crash, or maybe a tree crash? Hehe! Sorry Love!)

The month of July brought lots of firsts for Braden. First tooth, sitting alone for long stretches of time, saying dadadadadada (everything is dada except Dada), and rolling front to back and back to front. Here are some we have pictures of.

First time in the ocean – on his first 4th of July	First bike ride, not fond of the helmet

First solid food, green-beans, sweet potatoes and apple sauce are the favorites	First car trip, 5.5 hours to SunRiver Oregon to visit Mom’s family

First time in a boat and in the lake, loved the life jacket, not the water so much.

Now he’s 6 months old (17.5 lbs, 27 3/4” tall) and I can’t wait to see what August will bring!
