Family Fun!! :)

Our trip to Arkansas to see the Sedricks was so much fun.
We went to Pea Ridge, a Civil War site. I was surprised the kids really like this.
We went to the Terra Studios, where we watched them make these bluebirds of happiness. We also met the Trash Troll.now which one was it??????

Goldilocks and a bear? or is it 2 bears? Seriously this place had so many cool things. Lots of little pottery all over a labryinth and look who we met. It's George, Myrtle and Hubert. Not my cousins! :)

We visited a working mill. It was really cool. I would love to buy my grains from a place like this all the time. Probably couldn't afford it, but I would like it. It has a working water wheel and everything. It was great.




We went boating. We had so much fun. Everyone tried wakeboarding. We had a great time.

All the kids loved the tube.
Look and see--
They start----and

-----and then they crash.

Here is Josh Wakeboarding--doesn't he look awesome

Adam had gotten up the last time, but struggled on this day to get up. I missed the pictures the 1st time he went. Oh well.

Sammi and Mason on the tube. They all had so much fun. The water was so warm.
This is one of their favorite things to do.

This photo does have a story. It's somewhere in Wyoming. We let LOLA(we named the GPS in the car ;) ) take us wherever she wanted. She did wonderfully in Kansas City. We didn't take 1 wrong turn. But for some reason she didn't want us to go to Rock Springs--so this was her back road--absolutely nothing was out here. Just 20 miles of dirt road and wind. We were to take a turn off ---off of this road, but it had washed out. Hmmmm--there was a new one we had past, so we turned around and took the new road. Our children, thought we were lost. We knew where we were and where we needed to go, so no big deal. We just chalked it up to adventrue and laughed.

Thanks Sean and Holly. We appreciate your hospitality. We had a great time. You guys are the best. Great job in getting Ivan to take us. :)

My Garden

This is all I have to post. I was going to post a bunch of stuff, because we have been very busy. I have some great photos of our trip to Arkansas and some of Josh taking 3rd in district track. I brought my camera and went off and forgot the cable. Darn it. So now you get to see a picture of Ivan working in my garden getting it ready to plant. By the way it is planted just not getting enough sun because it keeps on raining. But we do have stuff coming up. So I guess you will all have to wait for our pictures of the bluebird of happiness(hmm --you ask what that is? You will just have to wait) and time on the lake. We had a great time. We really appreciate the time the Sedricks took to entertain us. Other big news---I have gone back to school. I have started my first summer class thru the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls. I am enjoying the class called Access to Health. I am hoping the others are as enjoyable--probably not. But I should be done in a year if I take 12 credits each semester and 1 class next summer. Not to bad actually. I am kinda of excited. Josh has finished drivers ed---hooray!!!!! Mason is just about done with baseball----well if it would stop raining long enough to play a game anyway. Adam just started soccer and Sammi just started baseball. Not so bad though because they are only once a week. Well I am just rambling--so I am going to go do a whole lot more of nothing somewhere else.
