Summer stuff

Hey all! We are trying to hurry and enjoy what is left of our summer. We have been trying to hit the pool as much as we can which the kids LOVE. Dawson is our fish, he has yet to have a lesson, but the kid is under water swimming more than he is up! It is so funny he loves it!! We are so lucky to have the pool so close. We have also been to the river a couple of times. Our friends live right on the river so we have been down playing in their backyard and swimming there as well. SO FUN!!! The weather has actually been awesome this summer not too dreadfully hot!! I hate the heat and anything above 90 makes me crazy, so this has been a great summer weather wise so far.

We have been picking raspberries at our house as well as a friends house so I am also trying to get freezer jam done. YUMMY!

Let's see Bryer left on Tuesday for scout camp, they are in the bighorn crags mountains (not sure where that's at for sure) and that's been a challenge for me because though he has been away from me for more than a few days, it has never been without a way to talk to him anytime I wanted! We had a huge wind/rain/thunder/lightening storm yesterday afternoon here and I really started to worry for him. He is in good hands though as the leaders are all great capable guys. Still....... it's been hard to have him gone. Ok so I am feeling a little like grandma Robson a little on the worry wart side! Only a little though right?! Oh well he is my baby!!! He will be home tomarrow. Can't wait!

School starts on the 30th so we will try to get as much done before then as we can. Our 13th anniversary is coming up on the 23rd and we are going to try and get away for a few days, not sure where yet.

Almost done with co-ed softball yay! It gets old after a while.

I am missing going hucklberrying (sp?) in Tetonia a ton! My body must be programmed for hucklberries this time of year cuz I sure am craving them! Hope you Valley people are getting lots! There are pretty much NONE in Salmon.

Caleigh is talking a ton now and it is so cute to hear her yell Bya, Det, Peyeeeee, Da, mom, dad, bear (our dog). She is too funny! Her favorite thing is to ride the horse. The boys saddle the horses almost every day and ride around and she screams when we take her off she LOVES it. She is growing much to fast for me. I hate it. But she sure is cute! I'm just sayin'! I got lucky there cause all my kids are pretty darn great!!

Chet is also growing up faster than I keep up with, he will be in Jr. high this year cause the 5th grade is in the middle school. WEIRD!! He can also play football this year which he wants to do, but I'm not sold on the idea because he is so skinny! We will have to start on some protien shakes or something! Too bad I don't have that problem!

Let's see I think that's it for today, sorry about my novel today maybe I should blog more often so my posts wouldn't be so long........ Hope everyone is enjoying the last month or so of your summer!!

If you want some awesome inspiration, read my cousin David's missionary blog. HE ROCKS! He is the best missionary ever and I love reading his letters! Hope my kids turn out that great!
