Is July really over?

Is it just us or did July fly by? Well.. here goes the update from the last part of the month...

After the fishing trip in Omak with Nicole's family, Nicole headed to Boise for a week and Jeremy went to Juneau Alaska for a long weekend with his brother and a few friends to fish... and fish they did!!

Connor with his Grandpa Kevin just before they left Omak

Connor with his Grandmas...Nancy stopped by to say hi before Mom, Connor and I drove to Boise.

In Boise, Connor discovered a new favorite toy... a car (well technically a wagon.. but it has wheels!)

Swimming on a very warm day felt sooo good!

After swimming, hanging out with another new favorite toy.. a ball! :-)

When in Boise, there was a family lunch with some of Nicole's Mom's side of the family, this is Brian and I hanging out with Connor at the lunch... just after Brian changed Connors diaper!! :-) Go Uncle Brian !!

Connor chillin with Uncle Brian. (Update on Brian: bones are healing- a little slower than the dr. would like, but to be expected with 6 bones healing at once. He's started physical therapy, but for now only 1 day a week as he is still non-weight bearing on his pelvis, when they clear him to put weight on his pelvis he will have therapy 3 days a week then in the gym pretty much every day he's not in therapy..)

At the lunch there was a fountain, and seeing as it was over 100 degrees outside, I thought it would be appropriate to let Connor get a little wet :-) he seemed to enjoy himself!

Grandma Shelly holding him in the foundain so I could take a few photos

 Also while I was in Boise there was a baby shower for a friend of ours, Natalie and her baby Milan. Connor is incredibly intrigued by her... he reached and touched, but I was impressed how gentle he was..

Connor sucking on Milan's hand :-) How cute!

Brookney reading a story to Connor.. he LOVES books!

ALASKA....
Jeremy's Cousin Jenny and her husband Kelly recently moved to Juneau, They were kind enough to let the guys stay with them (2 weeks after getting married!! ) Notice they still have their car decked out :-)

Jeremy and Braden as they headed out of the marina... hopeful for a good day of fishing!

The guys: Josh, Jeremy D, Jeremy L, and Braden
 
Jeremy with his 16 lb silver...

The fishing was so good it wasn't uncommon for them to "double up"- have two fish on at once... can be fun and challenging. They doubled up on salmon 3 times and twice on halibut.. This is a video of Josh and Jeremy D doubled up on Salmon.. :-)

Fish on! O wait... 2 fish on!!!

Josh with a 21lb Silver, this is one of the biggest Silver's that cpt. Mike had ever caught before...

Beautiful views while fishing

Braden with a halibut.. with the new restrictions in place, they could only be 37" long and each person could only get 1 a day.. Braden's was exactly 37"... sweet

The guys again on the last day.

Fishing totals for the trip:
Day one: 4 Halibut, 12 Silvers
Day two: 4 Halibut, 20 Silvers
Day three: 2 Halibut, 4 Silvers

After dividing things up, Jeremy brought home about 50lb of Salmon and 18lbs of Halibut!! YUMM.. :-)
