Family

It was so fun this last weekend. Greg and Kristi and kids came up for a wedding of Kristi's cousin. Leslie and Tavis and kids were already here. Nate decided to come home because he was alone since Heidi was with her family in Utah waiting for the American Idol concert on Monday. Then Rylee surprised us and was able to come over Sunday for a few hours and so when Melanie found out they were all here, their family came from Twin. It was so much fun to have all twelve of our grandkids here at the house at one time. Leslie took some pictures of the kids and I hope to have one pretty soon.

It has been pretty quiet around here since everyone left. When we bought our house almost 25 years ago(with four kids and one on the way) I never imagined Randy and I would be lonely at this big old house. It does happen once in a while.

I am so proud of each of my five children. They have grown to mature, responsible wonderful adults in spite of me being their mom. I am so happy for Greg and Kristi because he just finished his residency in anesthesiology. He is finally practicing his profession. It has been a long twelve years of schooling and sacrifice for their family. Nate is about two days away from finishing his degree in business finance. So happy for Heidi and him. They will stay in Rexburg a little while longer to do an internship and take a couple more classes. Mel and Scott are in Twin Falls where Scott is part owner in a sucessful accounting firm. Love them being sooo close to us. Leslie and Tavis are the best photographers! Tavis has been very busy this summer shooting weddings. He loves to do weddings and does an amazing job. Tavis is still working on his degree. Ryan, you will always be my hero.
