Congrats to Kassie and Shad!!

Kassie, my baby sister had their first baby boy this week!! They named him Caden I believe, not sure on the spelling????
I am so not jealous of your sleepless nights, but am very jealous of holding a newborn. I have decided once your kids are older then holding a brand new baby is very therapeutic. YOu can hold them and rock them and you forget all the bad stuff. . . although I am currently content to hold someone else's and give it back when I am done. . . hehehe!

I LOVE SUMMER!!

This week has been gorgeous, and I am soooo Happy! The week after we got home was typical washington 65 degree weather, and I was trying to come to grips that this was the rest of our summer. . . and then mother nature came through and brought us 90's this week. This is the way August should be!!!!
Way to Go Sunshine!

catching up on vacation. . .

So tommy and sid at murray park on pioneer day, cranking icecream at the wilson's, grandma pulling the kids in a floaty at starvation, and all the kids climbing in the apple tree after pictures for more pictures.

These are a few from our summer adventures with the wilson's

Just in case you were wondering. . .

Just in case you might be wondering what happens when a child runs into the path of another child swinging a real golf club. . . It lands you in the emergency room getting two layers of stitches in the kids head on a Sunday afternoon. Two underneath and six on top. And I don't know who cried louder H (the victim) or E (the attacker). H was crying in pain, E crying because his little bro was bleeding from the head and it was his fault. Hey at least he cares. . .???

Recovering?

So I have been avoiding the computer since I have been home, mostly because I have been really motivated to get my house in order. Thus I haven't blogged for ever. I will eventually get to it, but today will be spent preparing my RS lesson.
I have found if I avoid the computer then more around the house gets done. Go figure!

Packing up and heading home

I can't believe it has been a month since we left home, but alas the fun is ending. we have successfully worn out our welcome, haha. We are leaving first thing in the morning and attempting to drive the entire 14-15 hours. . . wish us luck. Our dvd player broke on the way up so a new one has been purchased. It is a pretty rough ride with out the movies. . . what did they do before they had them . . lucky us I guess.
I am not super excited to go home, but thrilled to sleep in my own bed. It has definately been an adventure and posssibly the kids best summer break EVER. I will have more details when we get home and settled in.

Cousin's

This is our first week in Idaho with some of the cousins riding the carousel. Squid and kayzer on the carousel together, and then cousins in front front of the carousel. And then the last picture is of the some of the kids at the park in St. Anthony across the street from Kassie and Shad's house.
