Grass...beautiful grass

Nothing like good ol' fashion hard work to make you feel like you are getting OLD!!! We spent all last week working on laying sod and moving rock to get our yard put together! Honestly, it felt wonderful to do yard work! (Even if I couldn't move the next day!) I have missed it so much this past year! The kids were thrilled when the grass was all laid. They ran out at night and just laid on it to watch the stars. Our yard here is so HUGE!!! We are going to have two large garden spots and plenty of more room to play. I can't wait to plant a garden...I know, I have to wait a long time. But it just about killed me to have to pay for tomatoes!!! Eden has so many great ideas of what else can go in our yard, trampoline, sandbox, playset, rivers, bridges, ahh yes, and a dog! (Sorry, that one is NOT going to happen for about 11 more years!)


I am kind of nervous with just how big these garden spots really are!

Ahhh, those summer days

Our summer was so much fun! We loved having our company! Eden and grandma on the drive back from Grand Mesa....I wish I had a picture of their faces when the GIANT bug was on them! Priceless!

Everyone loved having Uncle Jeff and Kim come for a visit....Jack and Emry have a new tradition, thanks to Grandma Jacob.....they MUST have popcorn and sit in the circle at Target!

When did my baby get so big...Eden is wearing the dress I had my flower girls wear at our wedding.

Eden started karate lessons and is LOVING it!
Emry was determined to ride this bike!

Our canoeing trip at Ridgeway.

We had a fun BBQ after canoeing ...loved evreything but the snake! We had a very fun hike at Grand Mesa with Grandma!


Grandma was loved by all! Jack's favorite saying..."Guess what, I love you!"
The first of many addicting trips to Target!
Eden on her first day of grade one! It's a good thing Grandma Jacob was here to distract me from crying all day!
My favorite thing....seeing Nate and Eden ride bikes together.
Ahh, oh I miss those walks we would go on!
Summer has gone by all too quickly! A great big thanks to everyone who came to visit us! We loved every minute of it and miss you all so much!
As for now....we are still praying that our home in Boise will sell! That still continues to plague us! Eden is enjoying school, loving karate, and rockin' out on the piano. Jack and Emry are learning to get along with each other on our daily runs! Each morning after dropping Eden off at school, I strap them in the double jogger and out we head! Emry constantly hits Jack and Jack wails at Emry and I am too out of breath to yell at them...so we make our runs short so my neighbors can enjoy their mornings! Nate is busy with work as always....little does he know what I have planned for him this week....I think it is high time we get some landscaping done! I am sure he will thank me in the long run!
