Our Summer!!



The year just goes by so fast. It's already going to be October and time for Halloween. Well where to start the summer started out kind of crappy with my Grandma Rae passing away right before Memorial Day. We had Her funeral at the church, it was a beautiful service, then down to Park Valley. It was nice to see family that I hadn't seen in a long time my cousins from Salt Lake came up and the ones from California too. But it was hard to lose my Grandma she was always here for everything and I will miss her very much. I Love you Grandma!!

Then Greg's Grandma passes away in June. That was very hard. His Grandma was such a sweet Grandma, Kaydn loved to visit her. The services where very beautiful and all of the wonderful stories and memories shared. And once again we got to visit with family we hadn't seen for a while. We Love her and Will miss You Very much Grandma Jensen. So needless to say we have had a lot of loss this summer.

We finally get to go on a campout to the Gillett reunion up to Fairfeild area for the Fourth of July. It was lots of fun. We played in the hot springs that run into the river and the kids got to shot the BB guns. Kaydn learned to ride his bike kinda(thanks to Aunt Kassie). Everyone had lots of fun. We came home just in time for the parade and fireworks. Lots of fun.

Then one more reunion for the summer the Robbs reunion down on Park Valley. We went down and got to see some more relative we hadn't seen since Grandma's funeral. Uncle Rae was there and Aunt Jeanie. It's always fun to see them. after the BBQ and Pictures, we went to the house where Grandma grew up and wondered around and took pictures. Of course we heard some stories of the old place. It was a good time. Then back to Rupert for the same old same old.

We also had some new family pictures taken by my neice Tiffany. Thank you so much they are awesome! She takes such good photos. We had fun down at Shoshone Falls in Twin doing them.





After all of this fun it was time to get ready for Fair. It started Aug 1st Maceys pig looked good. She had fun with her project. Brianna had a nice looking pig too. Jalynn we were not sure of hers would make weight and we were right it didn't but she had fun taking it to fair and showing it. That's all that counts. They all did really good and had fun! Macey got 2 blue ribbon's, one for showmanship and one for quality.

Now the kids are back in school and summers over and fall begins. What will it bring? Let's hope GOOd things. This year has been another challenging one but we made it through. What doesn't kill you just makes you stronger. So I should be pretty darn strong even though I feel pretty darn weak and tired most of the time.
