It has been crazy round here. Since my last post we have had 3 birthdays
 |
| Lily turned 4-had a rainbow cake and friends over for dinner |
 |
| Ari turned 6 -had a girly party with church and school friends and a butterfly cake |
 |
| Jacob turned 10- had his first friends sleepover party |
We hatched out 1 chick(long story) so I bought
21 more to keep it company but it only lived for a week. Due to dogs and other unknown causes of death we now have 17 chicks. (I am hoping that they are not all roosters.)

| Our garden planting crew |
We planted a large garden and have been picking buckets of cucumbers, zucchini, green beans and corn.

| Jacob on stage! |
Jacob starred in the regional dance festival. He did a solo dance in front of everyone. It only lasted about 20 seconds but it was awesome!
We went to Washington to attend two funeral services.
My sister's sweet baby-Angelica. You can find her story
here. You must read it. My sister is inspiring and amazing.

| Ari, my dad, Grandpa, sister Candice& husband Peter |
We were grateful that we took the opportunity to visit my Grandpa while we were there because 2 months later he passed away.
We came back in July to attend his funeral. We got to see all my Aunts and Uncles and some other extended family. I will miss so much about him. So many memories-most of them involve Grandpa telling me to toughen up or work harder. He was one of the hardest workers I know next to my dad. He mowed his lawn the week before he died at 87, lost two of his fingers with a hydraulic post pounder at 83 years old and at 74 he joined the Mormon Trail reenactment from start to finish sleeping on a bedroll and driving a team of horses. Love ya Grandpa.
I guess that is just part 1 because I still got lots more...
