Friends Swimming

I love Miya's friends. They are so sweet and nice and they have a really great time together. Cannon is also really great when kids come over at canoe rides and pulling them around on the tubes. I love summer, swimming, water, sunshine and we had so much of it this summer it was so great. I picked Miya up the other day from school and as soon as she got in the car she said, "I love my friends...they are so great." mostly to herself, but it was sweet to hear. They are making middle school so fun for her and that is a great blessing to me as her mom. They all respect her standards and ask me questions about things and why Miya can't do certain things (mostly sleep-overs). Miya asked her friends years ago to not take the Lord's name in vain around her and they have all been so good about it. Miya is a really great example to others and tries really hard to live the standards and teach others about them. I am so proud to be her mom and so very thankful for her sweet friends.

Combs' Family Reunion 2015

The Combs' family reunion was in Leavenworth this summer and we had a great time. Katrina and Ethan were in charge this year so we had amazing food! We spent a day (morning) freezing at the lake due to the high winds, but we ate a great lunch and then headed to the river for some warmer water fun. The kids enjoyed playing with cousins and we had a great time walking back and forth from the small cabin to the main cabin after the bear and cougar safety talk by Aaron. We jumped off the rock into the river and I had told Cannon if he would do it I would do it. He jumped right off and it took me until the last minute there to finally do it. The older kids did a picture scavenger hunt in downtown Leavenworth and had a super great time. I wish I would have taken some pictures of the groups together. It is so amazing to have to much family and to enjoy time together with everyone.
