2 for the price of 1.

Just went to the Dr.s again and found out that I broke 2 toes not just one. Good to know!

I must be loved!

Have you heard the saying "the Lord tests those he loves"? Well I must really be loved!! I am going on "Trek" (where the youth in our church re-inact the pulling of the handcarts that the pioneers did) next week. It is 24 miles in 3 days. I was getting something out of the closet for "Trek" and the box with the iron in it fell off the shelf and smashed my middle toe.
The tip of the 3rd toe is fractured. Cool colors huh! I have to wear that pretty shoe for 1 week and then buddy tape it for 3 weeks. But I still get to go on "Trek". This is just a test to see if I really wanted to go.

Washington

Shawns Grandmother passed away this last week and so we had the opportunity to go to the funeral. They live on a farm in Quincy, WA. This is one of the funnest things to do on the farm. The kids loved it.

This is a picture of Great Grandpa, Shawn's parents, and 4 of his siblings. I think 14 people were not able to attend from hubbies immediate family. So if they were all there this picture would have twice as many people.

And of course we needed a picture of us all dressed up. Nothing better then a funeral to get a family all together...OK maybe there are better ways.

3rd of July

We decided to go up to Jordanelle Reservoir. The kids had a great time. This is Shawn, Paige, Shawntell and  Austin enjoying the ride. They even tried to fish a little, didn't catch anything.

This is Shawntell and me out all by ourselves. It was a long but fun day. Shawn was the only one that got sunburned! He put the sunblock on and then when he got in the canoe his shorts rode up a little and he didn't have sunblock on that part....so he is a little red.

This would be Kambree on the ride home. She just had way too much fun and she wasn't willing to give up the licorice!

Cousins.

Austin  loves his cousin, Kylan. They are about 18 months apart in age, but they are the best of friends.
Today they are rocking the "Faux Hawk". Kylan is staying for a couple of days. Just think of all the fun adventures they will have.  Austin is just so excited to have another boy at our house, with 3 sisters he often feels out numbered.
