Our Awesome Family

Of Course there's ME! (This is at Luna Lake, again a lovely spot to camp!)
Steve & Derek fishing (no fish were actually harmed during the picture taking, nor at anytime during the campout)!!!

Ian just hanging out being himself. He actually was pretty amazing with the wrist-rocket, or is that wrist-wrocket (never to be confused with sling-shot , or is it shling-shot? I don't know, you figure it OUT!

Can't believe Loren will be 20 tomorrow. Am I feeling old or what??? We had a little family get-together at Erin & Sean's house (just a small deal cause we were already there helping paint). Sean had the fore-thought to surprise her with a prescious replacement of a long lost gift. This was none other than the video "The Magic Pony" which I had donated to the Bonner's Ferry library when Loren was young. She has been crying over my hasty decision ever since. Now all wrongs are made right (or is that wright?)! Thanks Sean & Erin, and once again, Sorry Loren for giving it away in the first place!

This and That!!

Hi everyone!!! Just a few updates & photos you may not have seen yet.

Ian also had so much fun on the trampolene this summer. He learned to do a front flip and about a zillion more tricks. It's been a great summer

Ian got to go to Boy Scout camp for a week (yes 7 days) this summer. He had a blast and of course came home FILTHY. The cost was $350 and the boys earned the money by contracting with local residents to put up flags on 6 holidays throughout the year for $25/contract. Ian had his $ in no time flat. Good job IAN!

Ian started MIDDLE SCHOOL today. Wow, 7th grade is hard for me to swallow. He will be home soon and I'll inform everyone how he did.

Loren and I made a mad dash to Tucson yesterday to take the Focus to Sean and Erin. Apparently Sean's car (elmo) died yesterday and he is going to buy the Focus from Loren. Lucky for her cause no one wants to buy it cause it's a salvage title. She thought she liked it when she got it, but I think after driving a beemer since she was 16, there may be NO stepping down anytime soon unless she's forced. We had a great trip and got to blab, blab, blab on the way home. We had a quick stop to visit Vicki, Owen & Noah. What a cute family!!!

Love, Chris & Steve

Our Campsite

Went camping last week. We were gone from 25th July to 31st. We went to Luna Lake which is near Alpine AZ. It is beautiful and we had a great time. We took Ian's friend Derek Solomon and Max. I'll include some pictures of it all. We went to a place called Catwalk. It is a georgeous hike and not far from here. I fell and hurt myself, but am now mostly fine. On the way home, we visited the Mogollion ghost (old mining) town up a steep mountain (with the trailer) It was lovely and we had a nice lunch there. The whole vacation was absolutely wonderful!

So enjoy our pix of our camping vacation.
