When boredom overtakes!

Notice anything funny about this picture? The bike is supposed to be pink! Jax and Bryn decided to paint it behind their trees, hidden from Kara while she was mowing their lawn. They got the paint can open, had the brushes ready and proceeded to paint! They are pretty proud of it also. I think it's hilarious! Kara didn't seem too upset. It must be time for school to start. Kade is the shadow taking the picture.

Happy Birthday to Me

Today is, or should I say, was my birthday. I am getting old but that is not why I am posting today. I have had a very nice day. It really started last night.

We spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Jackson, Wyoming. This was our annual trip with our kids and grand kids minus a few this year. We had a lot of fun just doing the regular things that we always do when we go. This year was Jaxon's first year to float the river. He said that he liked it okay but he doesn't think that he will go again next year or the next and maybe not even the year after that. Jaxon was sitting front and center on the raft and so he really got the full experience! We also did some shopping, lots of eating, a little minature golf and then the Alpine slide. Kade and Jaxon got going a little too fast on their last trip down the slide and their cart came off the track. They got a little banged up but Jaxon thought it was still really fun!

So back to last night and my birthday. After we got home from Jackson, Brooks decided that we needed to make a trip to Logan to purchase my present! It was worth the trip and I got some really nice things. This morning we got up, got ready and left for church.................in Logan. This is where we will be attending church for the next three years. Brooks has been called as a Bishop, again. He will be a bishop of a married student ward. We are very humbled but excited at the same time. We are also quite nervous. My membership is going with him. It is really a calling for both of us. We still have a few loose ends to tie up here in our Lewiston ward but essentially we are done. I'm sure we will both be released from our jobs within the next few weeks. This seems to happen to us a lot. Just as soon as we think things are calming down, it all changes. We have again felt the Lords outpouring of love and much support from our families. After our sacrament meeting, my dear mom had us all over for food and birthday cake. It was delicious and much appreciated!

Booting the Boot!

The boot is off! Actually it came off about two weeks ago. I decided I couldn't stand six weeks of it so I spoke with the doctor and he (under pressure) suggested I at least wait for three weeks, which was one week ago. I made an executive decision and took it off earlier and, the foot feels great! Getting better all the time, I hardly notice it at all now. In reality the boot was more dangerous on than off. I was constantly kicking myself in the ankle of the bootless leg. Soooo, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

In with the new, out with the old.

A while back I asked Brady to make me a new computer desk. In the mean time, while I was waiting, I sold my old desk. Last Tuesday, Brady brought me my new one. It is knotty cherry to match my cabinets. As you can see I have lots of room to fill in but I'm sure it won't take me very long.

I also needed to change my computer screen background and update it with a new picture of the grand kids with Baine. So here are a few of the pictures that I took.
