morning update


so this has been a fun month. i have so much company its hard to keep the house like normal, and not to mention check my blog. i only have a few followers and im either guessing people dont know im on...or people dont like me...haha not really. i know, or i hope i know that i have alot of friends. and summertime is hard to keep up. so sarah and nathan have been here this week! we have been having fun! and clint and caleb are still here too! having 2 teenage boys for 2 weeks would be harder than i thought, but my mother in-law riased them right. they are pretty respectful and clean up after themselves pretty good. clint has been out with friends more than he is here, so thats been ok. we went boating last night and i got sarah up on the wakeboard! we had a blast! tonight dinner with travis and amy! we are making peanut butter pie...my moms recipt....so good! i think sarah and nathan might leave in the morning! nathan doesnt have to be at work for a couple more weeks now, so they are decided what to do. we had a wonderful time at the camp outs. the 28th was my spiritual birhtday....i was baptized at the camp meetings 7 years ago already. how time has gone by. this morning i went out and pruned some rose bushes...to my surprise i had fun. and i got a couple vases of good blooms. well thats about all thats new here. when things settle back down i will be able to blog more! i hope you all have a great weekend!

my mothers company






so my mom and my aunt came up for the weekend. they got here late wednesday night and we didnt waste a minute. the following morning we worked out, and took our time in the hot tub and spa. then went shopping and just visited the whole evening. and friday we worked out again, thats normal for my week days, and planted some more flowers in front of the house. i had seeds that were not making me happy. and garret came home early from work and we took the boat out. a storm came in and while we were fishing our fishing poles started to shock us and make a crackle noise from the electricity from the lightening close by. that was a little creepy, so we jammed out of there. but it was a fun day. mama tried wake boarding and water skiing. she got up on the skis but we had too much weight on the boat for it to pick up speed fast enough. but it was alot of fun! and ruth drove the boat and had a blast! it was fun! so after we got home went to the dollar movies and stayed for 2 films. 17 again, and obsessed. both good. saturday, 4th of july, we made home made salsa to take to our family BBQ. and went again to the dollar movie. we are crazy. we wanted to see ghost of girlfriends past. it was cute! and the bbq was fun. and we went and watched the firework show in caldwell, it was a joke. but we had a great day. and sunday morning was already time for ruth to leave. it went to fast. but my mom gets to stay an extra week. we went to church at nampa and out on the boat again for a while. garret caught another carp! it was fun. then we had dinner with travis and amy. that was really nice. monday was our work out and we did yard work. then a bit more shopping, i needed more dog food. whats new! and we made lasagna for dinner and watched a redbox and the bachelorette. and i am so glad she got rid of Wes. its about time. i was sick of him. scumbag! i miss jake, but i like reid and kiptyn. i made french toast for breakfast and we go to yoga and spin class in a bit. i really love having my mom here. i get so home sick. so it is nice. her birthday is in 5 days, and mine is in 6. we are going white water rafting this weekend! should be great!
