Eric & Ryan took off for Alaska along with Neil and his boys, Scott wasn't able to go. After that all the kids were home for the 4th of July. We all ran in the fun run, ( not so fun ) anyway then it was off to the parade. The rest of the week we played at the spray park, played on the park toys and rode the carousel. All the girls (except Starla 'cuz Emma broke her collar bone while the boys were gone) took off to see Kim in Boise. We had a great time just shopping, swimming, painting our toes and just visiting. It was great! After we got back we had a fun day at Rigby Lake with one of Stacie's friends from High school. Then Stacie went back home. (bummer)
Scott took off to go on tour with the dance team from the college. I wish I had photos. Now it was time to get back to life. Our stake took our youth to Martins Cove the end of July. What a great experience. I hope it built testimonies because it sure did mine. Then we came home to a new grand baby. Kylie and I took Emma and went school shopping. That was fun, Emma got lots of new toy's "Emma if your good Grandma will buy you a toy" She was great! Then we had Carter for a few days while Kim & Sean went to Vegas for their anniversary. We went huckleberry picking. We got about 2 cups, enough for a pie.
Eric & I went to California to a nephews wedding, it was great. It was nice to get away with Eric for a few days. Oh, we also had Carter, Lillie, & Kim's birthdays in August, Stacie's was in July.
September we went to Sophie's blessing then Eric & I went to Washington DC. Eric had meeting's again so I tagged along. Stacie & Whit & the girls met us there. It was so much fun. Eric had meetings so I got to go and play with the kids. We went to the museums and the zoo. We also celebrated Eliza, Kylie & Sean's birthday's. What a summer! I'm sure I left out a few details but those were the highlights. Great Fun!!!!
The carpet in my laundry room had seen better days. I wish I had taken before pictures so you all could appreciate it better. All the kids wanted me to put the new floor on the blog so they could all see it. I thought it turned out pretty good. It only took 3 weeks to get it done. I did the grouting all by myself. Dad did cut and lay all the tiles himself so I guess it was only fair.
I wish I had doors on the lockers. Oh well at least they are clean for a while.
Kylie came running up the stairs the other morning screaming, only wearing a towel. She was getting into the shower when this Hobo came running by. She about had a heart attack. So did I when I tried to catch him. He lost one of his legs in the process. We caught him to show Dad and then we flushed him. He really is big!
