Driggs 2023

 This year was different because we were only able to stay 1 week and people were coming and going and we missed Miya and Cannon being with us the whole time. The weather was amazing and it was so good to see everyone we could. Ryan had to head back to Jordan for work and Nicki was staying until August so she was the last to leave. Miya went the week before we did so she could be with all the older girls. Lyla flew out the Monday before we went on Friday so she could have time with all her cousins. Michael was there for 2 days so we had to party hard. We played pickleball, swam, golfed, volleyball, ice cream and loved being together. It was still much harder being in Driggs this summer and expecting to see dad in all the places he would normally be, mowing his lawn, coming in from golf with the guys, hanging out in his bedroom, loving on all the kids. I sure do miss him. It was great to be with mom and I am excited to have her come here in September. 

Sewer Connection Lawn Destruction 2023

 We have been working on getting permitting done for this project since covid happened 2020, but this summer we were finally able to get this project going. We are down to the final finishing wall down by the cabin and then will be finished. So exciting to be able to wash more than 1 load of laundry a day and take longer than 5 minute showers, or at least not having to tract the kids showers. It seems like a ton of money spent for things I can't really see, but am excited to use. It was fun to find this old septic tank down by the cabin and get in the new grinder pump. Fingers crossed that we don't have any problems for a long time. 

Bair's in Idaho

We were able to go to Jordan and Brandon's house and hang out for an evening this summer while we were in Driggs. It was fun to see their girls show off their animals and driving around the razors. They are such great people and have been so good to Cannon with him working for Brandon getting ready for the Rokman games. Always fun to be with good friends. 

Library Summer Fun

 Nona and I have enjoyed all the library events this summer, but our favorite one so far has been the bug guy. He had so many cool bugs and even brought some live ones for us to touch. He had a few stick bugs and then a scorpion that he turned on the black light so we could see him glow. She remembered seeing them in Arizona at the Buckmister's house with Aaron's black light. So fun. She knows a lot about bugs and was happy to share stories with the bug guy. She might be looking at her future. Sure do love our little library and spending time with Nona.

PPA Tour

 We had a fun day up in Seattle with friends watching the PPA tour. The guys in purple are the Johns brothers and ranked 1st in the world. They lost which was a pretty big deal. We loved that the guy in black looked like he just jumped out of bed and put on sweat pants to play the best in the world and then beat them. We were also in the video on tv eating a hamburger during play. We went with the Paces and the Dahlkes and now feel like we need to play a lot more pickleball.
