Update

This summer was a very busy one and it went so fast it seemed like it was over before it really got started. This picture is one I took while I was at Wood Badge in Island Park. I really liked this little area.



This is Isaac. He is growing so fast. He is a cute and happy little boy. He loves being out side any time he can get out there. Ususally it is with the help of the dog door.



Here is Katelyn. She is a very good little girl. She is very happy and loves you to just be with her. She loves to talk and to discover new things. One of the very favorite things she loves to do is pick strawberries. Now that it is colder and the berries are gone she still goes out to see if there are any there.

Big Sandbox

Curt and I made a sandbox awhile back. The kids have really liked playing in it. The only problem is that by the time all the kids get in the sandbox there isn't any sand left to play with. So I decided that the box needed to be bigger. Curt was excited because he got to do all the digging. I did help, but he does a lot better digging than I do. So then of course we needed more sand to go into the box. Brian and Kristy were here living with us for a few weeks so the kids came out with us and played on the big sand mountain while we got sand.
It was a very windy day so I am surprised that the sand stayed in the truck.



here is Isaac. He mainly just tried to keep the sand out of his face. But he did have fun and really likes the sandbox. It is the first place he goes when he gets outside to play.




Katelyn was helping with the sand. The only problems was she was putting it out while Curt put it in. It was a good thing his shovel was bigger than her hands.




Abby even had a fun time. She would come and sit right where we were digging and the sand would slide down and she would end up in the hole. She never could figure out what had happened.

Now we just have to get enough sand to fill up the big whole in the backyard.

Riding Fun

This Summer Curt and I went to Utah for a little vacation. We went biking and 4 wheeling with Chuck and Machel. My sister and husband. Here I am getting ready to go for the day.



Along the trail there was this field of blue flowers everywhere. They were so pretty.



This was the coolest looking blossom. It is some type of thistle. I was so fascinated by it.



As we were getting done riding this is part of the scenery as we were going down the mountain. The colors were so pretty and it looked so serene.



While we were there we took some fun pic's. Here is one of me and my sister. We had so much fun and I really like being with her.

I'm still Alive!

Well it has been way to long since I have posted anything. Life has not been as easy going lately as before. In July I tried to cut my big toe off and that is not very advisable. That really did me in for awhile. Then I did a few scouting camps, one with Curt that was really fun. After that I had children come visit and then Brian and Kristy came to live here until they found a place to land. So I have been just trying to maintain and now sink. Which I must of done because I am posting this now. I have taken several thousands of pictures and will try to find some to share later. But I did take this yesterday of Abby for my photography class I am taking.


Here she was upset with me because she wanted to get down and I said no she had to stay and let me take more pictures.







Here she couldn't believe I was really taking pictures of her in the sweater my neighbor gave me for her. It wasn't her idea of fun. But she is so cute.
