OH  MY  Guess its been a while since I've posted anything.... and Summer is over with.... Just been a Wild ride of a Summer....
Can't believe its Oct....
I'll be giving the High lights....
Let's see... WHERE to start.....
MAY... Jared Moved back to Coeur d Alene... WE are SO Trilled to have ONE child back... and He's been a BIG Help.... He's done Most of the mowing, around the place, plus helped plant the garden and Some weeding... NOT a LOT... BUT Not complaining... We just enjoyed the help he gave us...
June was spent with weeding and some fishing trips.  Which is always a Joy!
July... Ronny came for a visit with Kai and Jaiden...We tried to have something to do every day.... Jen and her family came up for a visit over the 4th so 3 of our kids were here.... We spent one day on the water which is always a good time..
Course we took in the 4th of July Parade..... With a picnic afterwards.  Always a Good time.
Had a Hard time finding a place to watch the fireworks... so ended up on top of the Hospital with Helen's pass... Couldn't see the Low ones but still enjoy the show.  and we didn't have the crowd to deal with!
Ronny also made a Quilt while he was Home... We finished the blocks and got them sewn together... He just had to finish the border... Nice Job Ronny... COURSE he still needs to quilt or tie the top!...
Aug.... Hailey decided to come early.....
Aug 1 2013  Hailey was born weighting in at 2 lbs 8 ozs   15 inches Long... Just a Little bundle of JOY.....BUT after 2 days they decided that she might need Heart Surgery..... WHICH being so small they had no doctor to do it.... SO They flew the Whole family to San Diego....
After talking with Bob I decided I wasn't going to stay home .... so we packed a Suit case and headed to San Diego... Took us Two  Days to get there...
I Know we were watch over on that trip... we had some close calls but made it safe and sound....
Hailey is Beautiful..... Just very tiny!..
What a Joy it was to be able to see her... and to hold her...
Hailey was blessed.... her heart began working like it should... No surgery was needed.... 3 weeks later they were heading HOME...
Took us 3 days getting Home.... was very hard to drive away..... and LONGER to get thru LA..  Traffic was backed up.... I could Never live there....Was very WEIRD to drive right by Disneyland and Not STOP!.... We had to be home Sunday night.....
We got home at 7 30 pm.... washed our clothes, loaded our 5th Wheel and left Monday morning at 6 am heading to Girls Camp.  We were the Cook Helpers.... cooking for 265 young women and leaders....
We were up by 6 and in bed by 9pm  Very LONG DAYS.... I was Never so glad when our time was up....
After being on my legs ALL Day  we had a Hill to climb to get back to our trailer... THAT was very Hard on me...
Ron had a talk with the gal over the camp... and they gave us a Golf Cart to USE... awesome!!!
One night we were late getting out .... so it was Pitch BLACK out... Did you know they don't have lights on a CART??
That was one Hairy RIDE.... Finally a car came up behind us and  we were able to see  We live to cook another DAY!
Course that Monday was fair week...  Jared helped get things into the fair....
Tuesday we took him to the airport...
Wednesday I went to the fair., and walked the floor in the sewing building with my Cousin Lillian... Boy it made the time go FAST.
Monday we Left for Salt Lake...
Tuesday I had my FIRST pedicure...
Wednesday  Jared GOT Married.  We welcome Amy to our family with OPEN arms...
Friday we headed home......
AND That takes us to Sept..... We spent the next week getting our place back in shape for the reception.... Lots of weeding to do... cleaning., pick up the yard.... and WAITING for the rain to STOP... Our lawn hasn't been mowed for almost 3 weeks.... Finally we get a break on Thursday.... Ron does the lawn... while Tim is mowing the field....
Tim was a BIG help on helping us get things done..
We decide to borrow a BIG wall tent from Paula just in case of Rain..... Friday we spent getting it up with Lights around it... and around our trees...
The Jeppsen's arrive Later Thursday Night...
Friday we spent getting food, preparing with the help of Paula Lee and Linda Riggs.... and setting up tables and Chairs...Decorating everything... and by 6 15... we had people arriving... Just a Wonderful reception visiting with everyone...AND NO  RAIN... it held off until it was over with... What a GREAT BLESSING..
OK  I'll quit with this amount of news... and See if I can do some pictures....
