Pine Trees Gone :(


Like the killing of a friend it was hard to see these trees go. We planted them 23 yrs ago and watched them grow. We enjoyed their protection from the winds, the privacy they offered and marvelled in their beauty when covered with snow. Unfortunately, their roots were undermining the utilities and the driveway, with threat of toppeling over in the winds.

They will be greatly missed. :(

Dinkey Creek Vacation July 09

The water at Dinkey was awesome this year.... lots more than last year, but of course, we were there 4 weeks earlier this time. The pools were deeper and there was more water flowing in the slide area....funfunfun!!

Here you see Brenae cliff jumping into deep water.

Beached on a rock and have'n a great time until the crowds came about an hour later.
Goofin around before packing up camp.

We've decided Dinkey is going to become a yearly tradition...

Alaska in review


The girls were told to make it "fun"....guess we need work on it.




















And the guys were told to "cop and attitude", hmmmm what do you think?




This year Alaska is celebrating 50 yrs of statehood



















Isn't this moosie cute!
It was a great vacation, the cruise, the friends, the food, the experience
of the "Last Frontier".  It was vast and beautiful beyond belief.

Amazing




So I bought this dress in St. Geo. for our cruise to Alaska. Unfortunately it didn't have sleeves. So the idea was to find some fabric that would look good with it. I found this sparklie fabric that looked good with the pin on the dress and, voile - I added sleeves (first time ever). I think it turned out pretty good. Greg says "I'm talented". What do you think?

The Yard/House


Greg and Jarom helping each other mow the lawn. Greg has great fun with the kids on the days he picks them up and brings them over for a play date.
I bought new light fixtures for the planter. Greg did a great job of installing them. Look how nice the planter looks! As you can tell, the window shade was open. Yeah, that's me taking the picture with the front door showing through the window. Kinda cool looking!
Brayden thought this was a water fountain and took a sip before I could shout "no", ick ick






grapevines on right with berry bushes (trailing up on wire) middle of picture. zucchini, crookneck, tomatoes, onion, lemon cukes, and the little bit of green on the bottom of the picture (left of berry bushes) is potatoes and corn.





The agapantha has been removed!

Visit to Utah
















After spending 3 days in Vegas with Greg's friend Kerry, we visited with Nemiha, Lance and Avi in Utah. It was so much fun being around Avi and seeing how much she had grown. Shayla and Curtis were in Utah also for a vacation, so we got to spend some time with them as well. We feel lucky that our children welcome us into their homes so that we can spend time with them. Thanks kids!! love you
