Hello....

I've been gone for awhile. I don't know if I should blame it on the fried graphics card in my MAC, graves disease, busy schedules...
So, Greg moved my photo program to another computer gave it some extra memory and we are good to go. I decided that if I had blogged this summer I would give a highlight of what it would of been.
Summer started off with a three day cub scout day camp at the Air force academy. Boys loved it!

Then continued with a family reunion. My sister in law was sweet enough to hold it at her house. This entailed having up to 40ish people sleeping at her house. The unfinished basement was filled with tents, some slept in the yard.  It was a bit crazy but it is always good to see family.

Caught up with MaryAnn one of my missionary comps.

Spring

Spring took a strange turn this weekend.  What was supposed to be rain turned into one of those blizzards everyone says only happen every 5 to 10 years. Of course my husband is working, power is out for most of the day and huge pine trees are snapping in half in our back yard. The neighbors  tree actually found a resting spot on the side of our house.  At least the view from my kitchen window was beautiful.

Here a few of the trees that fell from the weight of the snow. One hit our gutter and barely missed the house. It is so sad to see them fall.

Ok, so the tree that landed on our house...no major damage, just a dent in our wallets when the guy comes to take it down. Notice the orange tie down? That would be Greg's attempt to pull the tree down himself. Between me screaming at him while he climbed it that our insurance deductible is alot more than it will cost to have a guy come and do it and then  him realizing it was a very  heavy tree... disaster was avoided.

PS This post is from the end of April. When I loaded photos it changed the date on me.
