What we've been up to this summer...
(Pictures to come...uploading not happening)
~Mx Races in our backyard...just one field over.
~Boating...and boating some more! Rob created a new tower to replace his old one and it has worked great! Rob is always the happiest on his wakeboard and I love to see him smile and enjoy it!

~Justin & Annie got married and just moved to Moscow
~I ran a 10k for the first time
~Nicholas left on his mission to the Seattle WA Mission...I'm so proud of him and miss him of course.
~We went to Lagoon with DFA young cooperators and discovered again that Lagoon was way more fun as little kids! What is this motion sickness stuff?! We didn't even attempt the white roller coaster this year. Last year cured us of that.
~4th of July breakfast at Grandma and Grandpa Bowles...I look forward to this every year!

~Working on the farm (Probably one of my favorite activities of my whole summer...just playing and working on the farm with Rob) I swathed for the first time this year...and I need a lot more practice...oops sorry about the rabbit ears.
~Gardening and canning. Our garden has rocked this year and we are just excited to have canned our own grean beans and froze our own corn....yummers! (We've had spinach, radishes, peas, corn, chives, cilantro, chinese cabbage, tomatoes, zuchinni, basil, and pumpkins of course)
~Rob & I had our 3rd year anniversary!
~Rob and Justin went backpacking from Tony's grove in Utah to Willow flats in Idaho. They slept in a large Elk family's bed of soft grass and listened to them bark all night.
~Working in the ER (I start part time officially in September and I feel really good about this change).
~Benton's nine month Birthday was August 16th...Happy Birthday baby boy! We think about you often and shed lots of tears because we miss you so much. But we know you are in good hands and that you are watching over us and doing missionary work! We love you Benton Boy!
