The Homestead in Idaho

Here we are at Loren's Grandparents house in Idaho. This was the last leg of our trip and the kids had so much fun wondering around the Homestead. (Gavry could have stayed there forever). Here Gavry is with Great Grandpa Pond picking (just kidding, I learned my lesson, you say, "digging" when talking about potatoes) some veggies from the garden. And these are some of our favorites by the creek, feeding the llamas, Fisher eating his first apple fresh from a tree, and Fisher and Great-Grandmom. Thanks to Aunt Nola and Vallie and the rest of the fam for spending the evening with us!

Guess who had a Birthday??

Loren is 28! We had a great day, we went out to eat in the morning, then packed all of the kids to the movies in the evening, (Loren watched Ironman, finally, and Gav and I watched Kung Fu Panda, and Fisher slept). Hey, at least we were all in the same building, right? Then we came home and had a quadruple chocolate cake . . . yeah, it was pretty good. Gavry sang, "Happy Birthday Daddy", all day long, we even got it on video. He sang it the next day too . . . and the next day to Greta. Cute boy.

My husband, the Doctor!!!!!!

Loren graduated on August 16th and is currently going through all of the final processes to receive his license. It will be so great to finally have his Open House at his New Office!!!!!! Meanwhile, here are some pics of our celebrations . . . Thanks to Chuck, Andrea, and Ruby for joing us!
