DESSERT

We had an activity at our ward last night. Eric signed us up for a dessert. It turned out wonderful. I thought I would share what it looked like with you. It is Filbert,chocolate rasberry tort. It was very tasty.

BEAUTIFUL GARDENS

There is a man in our Ward that has a garden I envy. It is everything I love. We as a Relief Society visit it every summer and have a dinner there. It was great. It gave me many ideas.

Wyatt's 3rd Birthday Party!!!

Benjamin brought his boys up for us to enjoy this summer. Wyatts birthday happen to fall on their visit.Lucky for us. Karen and Bruce came over to see all the Grandkids. They decided to bring Leah,Natalies oldest girl.It was time for the little cousins to meet. We had a Pinata and cupcakes and we brought Mcdonalds food home for the little ones.I think they all had a good time. I know I sure did.

Squirt Guns and fun!!!

We gave the little ones squirt guns to play with. Little did we know that Aunt Karen would be their target. She was drenched.Oh well the Kids had a blast.

STRAWBERRIES ARE SO GOOD TO EAT

We decided it was a perfect time to go Strawberry picking while the kids were here.
It was pretty warm outside but with all of us picking it did not take very long.The strawberries were very tasty. I made a rustic tart.

THE PROJECT

While Sam and Elizabeth were here Eric gave them a project to make. It was a dog house. Sam learned how to use power tools and Elizabeth took most of the pictures.She also learned how to hammer nails. I think it was a good time had by all.I know Eric enjoyed doing something with his Grandkids.

Silverwood Park

While Amy, Sam and Elizabeth were here we took them to a local amusement park named Siverwood. It had lots of huge rollercoasters which we found out that Elizabeth loves to go on. She was a maniac. We did some fun water rides and just had a great time being together.

Camping With Sandy and Bob Olsen

When Benjamin was up to visit this summer he brought his boys and his trailor and truck. He left the trailor and truck for us to use. We and our friends the Olsens decided to go camping in Wenachee for 5days. We are so glad we had Bens' trailor. It had air conditioning. It was over 100 degrees while there. The campground was very clean and beautiful. It had bike trails, walking paths,beach,volleyball courts,tenniscourts and beautiful campsites. We enjoyed being with Sandy and Bob. I was able to do some dutchoven cooking. Something I love to do. Good food,good company,you couldn't ask for more. Thanks Bob and Sandy for a great time. Can't wait till next year.

We went to Leavenworth to look around. We had a wonderful lunch and I found a beautiful picture for my bedroom wall at one of the shops. I have always loved going camping and shopping. Very fun.We had such a wonderful time being with friends we have known for a very long time.

Camping with Jodi and Scott

The end of July, first of August Eric,Andrea,Mom and I accepted an invitation to camp with our friends Jodi and Scott Riggins. They share property on Lake Roosevelt.It was 105 degrees there. We had a good time. The mosquitos and wasps were very hungery while visiting outside. When we got there,there were deer laying in their yard. They were very content,until we got there. The view from the property was very beautiful. We very much enjoyed our little vacation. Thanks Jodi and Scott.
