Our Gang

Just a few photos to update on how we are doing and what we are doing.

This is Zack during one of his class presentations. They wrote and acted in their own class play based on a book they were reading. Here is part of the the play. Zack is representing a Nazi soldier.

Relaxing after the play. Boy is he growing up into a young man.

Yep, I married an amazing man. This past weekend was the Teton Dam Races. Without me knowing, he signed up and ran a half marathon. I found out the night before. Perfect timing for me to run down and watch him come in. Here are a few photos of him.

He is so tired. But boy does he look GOOD!! Way to go sweetheart! We are all so proud of you.

Proof he actually completed the race!

For my birthday my sister-in-law, Lisa made these absolutely incredibly yummy cake balls! I was suppose to share with everyone in my office but........well.......they were SO yummy I couldn't really bring myself to share that much! She is selling them for $12 a box and they are not only beautiful, they are sinfully delicious. This is one thing I am getting my husband for Father's Day. Oh man my mouth is watering again just thinking about them.

What Do I Want? SMORE!!!!

Tomorrow is my birthday and what do I want?..........

SMORE hanging out with my favorite marshmallow eater......

SMORE hanging out by the fire and listening to Mac steal my thunder......

SMORE listening to this little princess read to her Uncle who steals my thunder......

SMORE relaxing around the campfire with family........

and just plain SMORES!!!!!

Turtle Whisperer

My brother-in-law Mac is incredibly smart. He is very handy and helps his parents around the house. He can build things with his hands and has many beautiful pieces of funiture he has made. But he also has a hidden talent. He is a turtle whisperer.

Mac and Billy Bones. He is talking to the turtle telling him that he won't let the dog get him.

See, Billy Bones is starting to be ok with this.

Yes, he is very happy about the fact that no one but Mac can whisper to the turtle and get a response. Billy Bones is kicking his legs because he is so happy that Mac is back to talk to.

Jayden wants to feed Billy Bones a snack but Mac has to make sure it is ok first.

You don't like everyone crowding around you? It is ok.....

I am here and won't let anyone bother you.

Yep, that is one happy turtle and one happy guy.

Unfortunately, he is raising a junior turtle whisperer. I will never hear the end of this.
