And I had to miss this!

It is time for our annual backpacking trip and I missed it. Couldn't lift my pack up, so I got to stay home and visit with my sister and parents. I got the photo's and the hugs so I think I got a good deal after all. Too bad my pictures of Jan's family were fuzzy- But she brought the most wonderful produce. Zuchinni - cukes, tomatoes and yummy rhubarb muffins. Life is great! Thanks Janeal & Mike!

August Mud Party

We found a new use for our dirt pasture: Mud Volleyball. Actually the YM/YW arranged to play on our dirt. Kurt did a wonderful Job watering the mud and laying out the courts and the YM/YW did the rest.
Tyler and Christy were in fine form and spent the evening taking a mud bath and washing it off. FUN FUN FUN

Birthday Present

Jessi made this wonderful bag for me to use for my scriptures and other fun stuff. She made it just for me and I love it.

The longest week

On July 27th I went in for the final surgery - time to get things put back together! It turned into one of the longest weeks of my life! I didn't get to go home until Saturday August 1st, but thanks to my visiters I survived! Here Emma, Tyler and Aspen cheer me up. Aspen brought me a can of root-beer which turned out to be just the perfect thing to get the gastro-intestinal tract moving!Here Bree, McKayla and Carter help me take the pole for a walk. It was great to have these helpers make it easier for me!
