We brought back 2 cousins from Utah. Keaton (11) and Mason (6). They have had a lot of fun. It has been good for Hunter and Mason to get reacquainted. They have a bit of a love / hate relationship. It can vary from hour to hour. Just asked Keaton if he missed home he said, "No". I interpret that to mean "Not yet".
Tuesday the girls had orthodontist appointments. Megan gets to have 6 teeth pulled and Lindsey will need to get 4 pulled. Uncle Justin, DMD will have a hay-day with his rusty Leatherman and vice- grips pulling those out.
Sierra and Megan went to Girls Camp up at Catherine Creek this last week. It was a really good experience. Megan realized there are some really cool girls in the area.
On Wednesday, Stacy once again turned into Super Mom. At one point she had 21 kids here. There were several mothers helping with Girls Camp along with others coming and going, and they were having a party here. There were our kids, Alexis, Emily and kids, Sara's kids, Roper and the gang, Landon and Ryan, 2 more Baxter kids, and a few others (I think). It was wild. Sometimes it is really nice to have a day job requiring me to be gone.
Since Friday, we have had Justin and Emily's kids here. Justin and Emily went on a river rafting trip with there college buddies. That means we have our 5, plus Keaton and Mason, plus Keana, Ayla, Lyndi, and Bently. With my quick accounting skills that equals 11 kids to get ready for church!! Stacy had been going full bore doing hair and flipping pancakes.
I have had a lot going on at the office and ranch. Been helping with baling and stacking hay and getting firewood. Just a lot of good stuff to do in the summer.
This next week we are heading back to Utah for Stacy's family reunion. We missed last year and are excited to return.
That is what we are doing, but how are we doing? Couldn't be better! Seeing Lindsey on the trampoline, riding a bike, or wrecking on a tube behind a ski boat makes my heart happy. A year ago today she went to the playroom for he first time, was miserable, and was having clotting issues. What a difference a year can make. We are still grateful for the blessing and miracles in our lives. We truly have been blessing by Gods tender mercies.
Crazy, but we don't have any pictures to share. We will throw a few on once they are all ready for church. Thank goodness church doesn't start until 1:00!
