Summer Vacation ~ Days 4 to 17

We've had a little quiet time...
(just to remind me that they do indeed get along....sometimes!)

We headed to La Grande for the annual
fishing weekend.  Ryan's first trip was in 2004!
Lots of years of good memories!

Look at those smiles!
No husbands or kids for 48 hours!

So glad that the guys let one little girl go, too!

There's not a lot to do in La Grande, but we seem to find plenty to
entertain ourselves! 
A little Wal-Mart fun.

Ryan and Jordan with our newest nephew, Joseph.

Celebrating a teenager!

All of the campers...

Madagascar 3 with friends...

...followed by a sleepover.

The kids and I spent four wonderful days at our annual church convention.

I gotta find more work for him here at home....I didn't know
he could lift that much (those are metal trays)!!

Love our Em&Em

Just about conquered bike riding without training wheels.
She did not want them removed!

We have cherries!
This is the first year that the birds have left them alone long enough
to turn red.  We thought that they might be pie cherries, but they aren't tart.
They aren't as dark as Bings...have a mild taste.
