MORE SWIMMING at Uncle Mark & Aunt Sharon's house


CARLY is a"scardy cat" by nature, but not when it comes to swimming!








The first part of the swim TRE was not liking the water at all, then he decided he liked it afterall...to the point it worried us a little because he would just jump in when he felt like it, whether we were ready or not!



BRODY is still not quite sure about the water...although he will blow bubbles & go under the water as long as he has tight grip on you!

OUR BUSY FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST 2009

We celebrated our 31st anniversary...we cannot believe how fast time has gone. It's been an adventurous journey! I hope we have at least another 31 great years together!!


JACOB IS A RESIDENT OF ARIZONA AGAIN...we are soooo excited that he will now only be living 44 miles instead of 644 miles from home! We are so happy to have "Uncle Jakey" back!!

This is Midwestern where Jacob will be attending podiatry school for the next 4 years (Jim & I drove around the school on Sunday...it's a beautiful campus)

This is house in Glendale where Jacob will live for the next year...very nice house and roomates (all students at Midwestern)

Jacob & Jim bought, sanded, & painted 3 peices of old furniture for Jacob's new bedroom

One of the pieces after Jacob finished it with his faux glaze

A fun lunch/baby shower for my neice Joy & her soon to be baby girl "Claire"



SWIMMING & TREATS AT UNCLE MARK'S & AUNT SHARON'S...WE HAVE REALLY ENJOYED TAKING CARE OF CARLY & BRODY ON FRIDAYS WHILE JAMIE HAS BEEN TEACHING CHEER & TUMBLING IN SNOWFLAKE & SHOWLOW.




Carly wanted one for each hand (she likes that chocolate...just like her nana)

Brody couldn't quite figure out how to eat the otter pop


very tired after a swim...nana gave them bottles & their "kee-kees" (blankees)

We took Carly & Brody on our first ride on Jim's new toy (conveniently, just in time for his elk hunt next month)...not to say I won't enjoy it too. It's definately one of our favorite activities we like doing together. He has already started saving so I can have my own!
