July Update

We camped at our favorite camp site at Pine Creek July 18-20 and hardly saw any fire damage there. I feel so grateful because it looks like the fire just jumped over our favorite spots--tender mercy!

Mama & Addie

Yum.

Niles loved the hammock

weee!

Addie & the kids built a little fort and made an Adventurers Club, and you got a carved hiking stick with your membership.

Friday Night we enjoyed our annual Ward Dinner at the pavilion. Here's the Bishop chatting with Brother Carter.

Gloria J and Niles had fun after dinner

James, Gavin R, and Niles enjoyed sitting by the fire. It was a fun campout, even though lots of our friends and their kids were missing this year.

Sunday afternoon, Cousin Maren and her family arrived after a whirlwind trip up from Willcox Arizona. Travis (sitting ont he ottoman in this picture) got out of the hospital with hemolytic anemia on Friday and they took off from Willcox on Saturday at 4pm our time and arrived at 4pm Sunday. TROOPERS! We enjoyed staying over at the ranch house with them!

Daphne still loves Addie.

And here is a random, fun picture of Niles in action at home...of course he is "VACUUMING!"

I plan to go take some pictures for a house update today, although the house is pretty full of stuff to install right now--cabinets and tiles strewn all over the place, but it's looking so good! Our builder projected finishing up and getting an inspection next week, but there have been a few glitches, so I am sure we are still 2- 3 weeks out. But it's coming along and it just dawned on me that I better start getting stuff organized and ready to move. Sigh. Giddyup...
