I should look up some pictures but if I am going to write I better just get on with it. It has been a wonderful summer with many many visits from everyone. We had a family reunion in Aug. at Lagoon. Thank you Kari and Brady for all the planning and great meals. I guess Grandpa and I are in charge of next years reunion. We have some ideas but will entertain any suggestions you might have. We are looking at the weekend after the 24th of July. It's not yet set in stone, what do you think? The tree house is almost done but winter is upon us so I bet the slide won't be up until spring. Sorry kids but hey we are half way there. Grandpa is loving his small engine repair class at SLCC. I told him he is really getting to be worth knowing:) Being at school 6 hours is hard on him physically but he enjoys it so much and is trying to decide if he wants to go next semester. He was going to take a break but he learned they are doing carburetors so he may go. It seems I have been on the run all summer but doing what? I'm not sure. We did put up some pickles, relish and salsa. We worked 2 to 3 nights a week at the temple but we've slowed to our regular Sat. night shift. What a blessing to our lives!! What a beautiful peaceful place to be.

Wow, my cup truly runneth over! What a blessing family is. After a long winter without visits we had Janel, Josh and kids for a wonderful visit. We did so many fun things and most important talking, talking and talking. These are pictures of Valentines dinner with family. Janel's girls loved wrestling with Uncle Brady! The kids wore him out enough he just ended up on the floor. The kids thought that was great because they figured they won. I will have to post the pictures that Jan and others took like swimming, museums, horse back riding, gathering eggs. I will write more then. Right now i have a little one asking me to turn on the bath water and saying are you done yet? Do you think you will be done in 5 more minutes? You can see an other time will lend itself to a more wordy discription of the fun we've had.

I don't know why this page only seems to show part of my blog at a time These are our new baby goats. Maddie is holding one. She was so excited because she was the one that discovered they had been born. We went to the feed store to buy chicks and bought Zach and Maddie each their own chick to have at Grandpas. Zachs is black with a red head and named Rosie. Maddies is marked like a chipmunk and is named Cutie Pie. We've had a fun day at the farm.
