latest finished project
I finally finished this project that was meant to be done last Christmas time. I think it turned out pretty well. Also my parents made this awesome bench for me. I love it!

baby birds
We had a nest of baby birds in our apple tree. A few days later they were gone... hopefully they had just flown away. They were cool to see!
camping with.......
My parents! Yes that's what I said with my parents- which was most definitely a first. I don't know how she did it, but Katie convinced them to come. I think it helped that it was only for one night! Unfortunately Nate and Abby weren't able to make it and we missed them!
We met up at Birch Creek and camped the night there. When we got there Katie and Adam had dinner just about ready and it was very yummy - scones and cheesy chicken dutch oven stuff. Joe made breakfast in the morning- breakfast hash - potatoes, cheese, egg, sausage, and onion. I was thankful that it turned out well because I was nervous mom would hate it - but it didn't end up being as cold or as smokey as I thought it would be. (Here in Salmon we have a few big fires and there is a perma- haze going on).
Saturday we packed up and went on a drive to the Gilmore town site. Then we went up to meadow lake and fished a bit. I caught two tiny fish that promptly made it off my line. I think Joe caught about six or seven little guys, none of which we kept, which is really okay by me. Mom kept feeding this chipmunk hamburger buns.
We had a good time and I think mom might actually agree to go again next year! Go HERE for more pics.

The Johnson's
Katie and Adam were able to come visit us a couple of weekends ago. It was fun to have them stay! We did some fishing on the Lemhi behind our house and Adam caught quite a few! He was pretty excited to say the least and was even able to keep one of them which we grilled.
Katie went to a few yard sales with me on Saturday- there was nothing good, which is what always happens when I take someone with me. We also went to the Lemhi County fair. I thought that was fun because I actually knew quite a few of the people who had things on display there. We got scones and waffle cones there.
We tried to go to Hayden ponds but they are still doing construction there, so we went up the road a way. Joe and Adam fished and Katie and I read our books. Then we had a hot dog roast.
It was great visiting with the Johnson's and I learned that I kind of like fishing - but still don't like eating the fish.

Visit to Kimberly
In the middle of August we went to Pocatello for Matt and Brielle's wedding reception and then to Twin for Kyle and Tysha's wedding. Both of these events happened on special days for us. On Friday August 12, Joe turned 32! Then Saturday the 13th was our 6th wedding anniversary. Needless to say we didn't really celebrate either on the day they really happened because of all the goings on.
Rachel and Seth are living at Jon and Connie's for a couple of months while Seth is in transition to the Air Force. Then they will move to Texas. We got to see our newest nephew Simon for the first time which was exciting. He is a sweet little boy. They also blessed him while we were there.
This picture is really bad - especially the sticking up part of my hair, but I had to put a pic of Simon in!
Jonas had been nipped at by two little yippee dogs a couple weeks previously and was therefore terrified of Ginger most of the time. He did a complete switch around on Sunday though and couldn't get enough of her. Ginger has a knack for making friends!
On Monday before we left we went with Rachel, Seth and the boys to Shoshone falls. The water was higher than I've ever seen it this year.

Crazy picture
Joe took a bunch of pictures of Rufus and Ginger battling it out. They really are friends most of the time, kind of like siblings actually. This picture he got is so awesome!

Billy Goat
My grandpa is pretty funny. We went down to Idaho Falls for the 4th and ended up coming back with my grandpa's goat to help us mow our lawn. He didn't have a name before but Joe dubbed him Rufus. Ginger is liking to chase him around (only because he's on the chain and can't get to her - She's pretty chicken). I think she better be careful or else she is going to get one of his hoofs. Uncle Gary said that grandpa was getting sick of moving Rufus around, but I think it is because Rufus butted grandpa in the backside one too many times. Rufus no longer has horns because of this bad habit :-) Hopefully Rufus proves to be a good lawn trimmer!
