Old Friends New Memories!

Our good friends Jon and Helen that we met while going to school down in K Falls came to visit us last weekend. We had a great time! Helen and I got to work on a quilt for another good friend of ours who is having a baby soon and it felt so good to get back behind the machine again!! We just talked and sewed and well watched five kids. . .but it was real nice. We had a BBQ while they were here which was fun but I had lost my camera or it mysteriously disappeared somehow. . .(ahem ,Jakob)but anyway till Sunday when we decided to take a day trip or a sun trip as Jakob would call it to Walla Walla for the day. ( Jon and Helen are looking for jobs around here they like the area and there were job openings in walla walla so we went to check out the town). We got lunch at the Ice burg and then took it to the park to eat too bad it was like 105 degrees outside so we were all hot and pretty much miserable but we made the best of it. The boys had to play ball of course! And then the ice cream man came with the loudest music I have ever heard one play before we almost had to break out the earplugs but the kids were hot and so were we so we splurged for some 25cent Popsicles to help cool us down.
I LOVE POPSICLE FACES!!!!!








Rob and I shared one how romantic right? I took this picture of Ann and i love it she is so cute!! The last time I saw her was a year ago she loved me from the first minute she walked in the door and so naturally I fell in love back she like the girl I never had!!! Plus I get to spoil her and not deal with the diapers and all that other stuff.






After we ate our Popsicles we went to see the birds they have all kinds of birds and the kids loved to see them. It was so hot we didn't get to see many of them but it was fun!Of course we couldn't leave until Jakob found his feather.

Bunk Beds!

Sorry it's been so long since the last post!! So Jakob had been begging us for a bunkbed forever maybe a year or so and a couple months ago we broke down and did it and he and Mikah LOVE it I took some photos of the first night they slept on it and have been meaning to post them but kept forgetting anyway. . .here it is. It's not my favorite type of wood but it hides the scratches pretty well so thats a plus!!















It was hard taking pics of the top bunk and well the bears are always in the way. . . can't sleep without them!
