Animals! Animals! Animals!

This is not even half of the animals we've seemed to collect
lately!! Others are lizards, kittens, more frogs, preying mantis',
stick bugs, giant moth( Uncle Jake on 4th of July),
fish to feed our pet snake Whipper, and of course
we always love our dog Thor! Probably more, too many
to remember!!

Mechanical Skill / Inspiration

My favorite tool in the kitchen stripped
its main gear, and broke a pin, so I
decided that I could fix it myself!
I ordered the parts, custom
build other parts, and with a lot of
inspiration and some manly strength
from John, I was able to take my mixer
apart and rebuild it back too it's perfect
working ability! What a challenge!!!!!

Back to school

Sunrise Breakfast

We love our tradition of "Sunrise Breakfast"!
We never let a summer go by without it!
Thank you Oma for starting the tradition.
Those are some of my best memories with you
in Strawberry!

Flowers at McGaffey

McGaffey

The weekend before school started, John and
I wanted to do something fun as a family, so
we loaded up the truck with the kids, our
dog Thor, a picnic and blankets and headed
for the forest. We had so much fun hiking,
picking flowers, and playing all day, and Thor
thought he was in Heaven!

Summer is so fun!

FHE Board

My mother in law Tina gave me this FHE board
and thought it would be so cute to put my family's
photos on it! Isn't it so cute? And it is so easy and fun to
organize Family Night now! Thanks Tina!

Family Reunion

We had such a great time at our family reunion this year!
Unfortunately, some of the most memorable moments
weren't photographed or the photos came out blury!
Highlights: kids treasure hunt, American Idol, Drive to
Strawberry to get pies and honey, Girls talk, everyone just
relaxing and talking, and the zip line! What a fun time!
Can't wait to go back!
