We're back...

Yep.... we are back from yet another adventure! We spent a few days in green green Kentucky, visiting Dustin and the fam. (please read this next line with a southern accent...)Well, I just have to tell y'all that we had a great time just chillin and doin some things like wrasslin, stump choppin, vine swingin, eatin some gooood vittles, attending our Sunday meetins and playin with the chilluns! Just watch the slideshow for some good pics of our trip and check out Kristin's blog too.

August is birthday month for Teresa and Mason! Happy happy to you both!

Lotsa stuff goin on...

First of all.... the big white envelope came a little sooner than expected.... SOOooooooo.... Brandon got his mission call!!!

We gathered all the fam together and those that couldn't make it were on cell phones with the fam here and the rest of the fam not on phones were taking pics and video... so did ya follow all that?!?

So then Brandon opened the big white envelope and read it to us....

He's going to Brazil and is leaving in November!!! We're excited for him and the experience we're all going to be a part of!

NEXT ... July is busy already.... July started off with fireworks and lots of birthdays! Happy birthday this month to: Lexy, Kristin, Krislin and Jadon!!!

The papers are in!

Well... it's official... Brandon turned in his mission papers. We should hear by July 11th. Anyone have any guesses? Just let us know!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Daddy's Day to my wonderful hubby Mike...

back from camping!

We went camping last week and had a great time. We adventured to a new spot... Dead Horse Ranch! Despite it's name it was a nice place. We went shoppin and antiquing in Sedona and Cottonwood. We went picknickin at Slide rock and the boys went golfin. In between all that we hiked a little (watch out for poison stuff... ask Mike about that) ate LOTS of yummy food, watched some great movies (Walmart has $1 DVD's... ya gotta splurge and get some... it's cheap hilarious entertainment... ask Mike about Wasp Woman!).. AND we played some intense Phase 10... try playing it backwards for a change!

Hi jacked!....

For any of you that may have noticed.... my BLOG was momentarily hi jacked, hacked or in other words... there was an identity thief on the loose and MY BLOG was the victim.... Fortunately... I was able to fix MY BLOG... AND the culprit was caught (there was only ONE suspect) and fessed up and he was given a severe NO NO!! ... AND to keep this from ever happening again... I had to take extreme measures.... YEP.... I changed my password! So I apologize to anyone that was traumatized by this unfortunate take over and it should NEVER happen again! But ... to make sure YOU are not a victim like I was... be on the look out for this guy....

... Pretty scarey.... so BEWARE.... AND never, never, NEVER give him your password!!!

nothin much...

nothin much goin on right now... we're just gettin ready to go campin... I CAN'T wait!!! Besides that we've been decoratin a little in the house and watchin the flowers grow outside!
