Summer is finally here!!

Well the summer has finally hit us over here in Boise. It has been nice and warm the last several days. We have taken advantage of it and have started work on our back yard, it helps to not have the rain when you are working with dirt. The kids have loved helping us, they played on top of the dirt pile and helped wheel dirt to the back yard, well mostly waited for the dirt to be dumped so they could ride back.


The kids are very excited to be able to go camping in a couple weeks. Every 4th of July Dusty's family has a couple of different reunions and we normally wouldn't be able to go because of Dusty's work schedule but now we can. It has been 5 years since we have been able to attend so i think we are all some what excited about it.

All the kids are doing well and having fun playing and making a mess. Braidon has figured out how to roll from stomach to back but hasn't yet figured out how to move his arm to be able to finish back to stomach. Aleysa is talking non stop and has learned animal sounds so she will make the sounds of the animals we see as we drive or watch tv, it's a lot of fun to watch her grow up. Her new phrase is "Hi bud" she picked that up from my sister it's very cute. Spencer is getting big and growing up fast. He loves to carry a rope around with him like Diego. He calls it his rescue rope. Brysan is all excited about being in the first grade next year, and is on the count down until her birthday next month. She is doing great with reading and is very smart sometimes too smart for her own good. They all keep me hopping and life is never slow that is for sure.

Dusty and i are doing great and are enjoying watching the kids grow and their desires to learn especially with gospel principles. We miss all of our friends in Independence and talk and think about you often and we are treasuring those friendships we are making here in Boise.
