What a Crew

We had a wild week. There is nothing like entertaining 21 people in your home. 



The kids were all here for a few days. 

I finally talked them into Roaring Springs in Boise.

It was hot and they had a great time. 

I had to spend some time with Clara. 

I needed d diet Coke, so she got a treat. 

We had a birthday dinner. 


A Birthday FIFA World Cup championship game.


I had a perfect birthday.  

Kids were busy with making cards. 



More time outside..it was hot. 


The kids were good sports about eating outside. 

We did our own soccer tournament.


On Monday we went to Redfish with Callie, Spencer, Betty, Richard and Ivy. The others were on their way home. 

It was a hot day at the lake.


Kids did a short hike across the lake. 

Had to show Ivy the mountains from the Stanley side. 
Scott E was in his element. 
I feel blessed to have them all here, tired, but blessed. Callie and Richard stayed with our friends the Nordquist. Betty had a great time and loved her cousins. 


Seeing the kids together makes my heart happy. 

Dog days of Summer....
Fifa birthday....
Love my family...

Harvest Blessings

I love the end of Summer with its beautiful harvests.  The smell of soup that fills the kitchen. I spent most of yesterday making tomato soup for grilled cheese and tomato soup dinners this Winter.  I'm so grateful that my neighbor gifted me the tomatoes and fresh onions were available at the Farmers Market. This simple recipe is 100% nutrious and delicious.  I freeze the soup in 3 cup portions. It's what Wes uses to cook dinner once a week. I did think that it was a lot of work so that Wes could think he cooked dinner, more than once yesterday.  Love living in Idaho.... Harvest Blessings.... Good day...

Walks, Lake Day and I've had Enough

Image
I love my morning walks this time of year. I tend to focus on the beauty  Because we all know that when Winter comes, I'll be whining. Had a beautiful day at Redfish .. Picnic and lake time.  And to finish up this post, it's my anniversary. To be honest, this has been a really hard year. I am working very hard on not correcting the things that Wes says. He is often confused and his problem solving skills are declining.  My other problem comes when we are around people in the stake and he's always walking up to people (who are apparently Bishops) and saying, ' Hello Bishop'. I don't even have words to describe how weird I think this is.   Sometimes I feel like he has joined a club that I want no part of.  If you have any words of wisdom....I need them.  I have been thinking about my mom and these were her words of wisdom...Men are weird and they get weirder w...

The Summer of $50 Picnic

I love a picnic, but this year has been pricey. Some of these picnic were for two and others for more. They were all the best. Eaten in the mountains or by the sea, they were all enjoyable.  Wood River picnic area. Johnson Lake in Canada  Crab sandwiches in Bodega in California.... Challis Idaho  Redfish Lake Idaho. What a beautiful way to spend the Summer. Sandwiches and cookies, blue skies and good company.  Not ready for Fall.... Happy Summer Days.....
