Our first Texas home Project

We were not loving the huge box that was built under the fireplace.

So out with the old...

... and in with the new.

 We even signed our work under the new floor tiles.

Now, what is my next project???

Everything IS Bigger in Texas

A cantaloupe as big as your head--and as big as a watermelon.

The Move 2011

There were over 500 items on the movers' inventory list.

How long will it take to find a place for everything 

and the big question:

Do we really need all this STUFF!

Philmont

What a great experience to attend LDS training week at Philmont Boy Scout Ranch!

We were there July 2nd through 9th and enjoyed lots of great activities and people. 

Quinn had a great time with his group of 8 year old scouts.  

His favorite things were pony rides, archery,and hiking.  
He also enjoyed throwing hatchets with his dad.  

Quinn earned a bunch of scout patches and belt loops and got a great start on scouting.

Emma spent the week on the mountain.  Her cousin Sophie went with her.  

It was hard and DIRTY. The highlight was climbing the highest peak

(Mt. Baldy) with their packs.  It was an empowering experience for these great fourteen year old girls.    It was a really fun welcoming party that met all the mountaineering groups as they marched into camp. This picture is with General YM President David Beck and General Primary President Rosemary Wixsom. 

Kip and I especially enjoyed the sunrise hike to Lover's Leap.
We all have great memories from our week at Philmont and are
very grateful for the experience.
