Foyer

We finally got the front entrance done! Yeah it looks so good! Great job, BRETT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VAL!

We had a big family party for Val (my mother-in-law). She turned 60! ( I read somewhere that 60 is the new 30) Tyler and I decorated the house and porch so she had a nice suprise when she got home. We ate great food and played some games. We had a great time! Val opening her presents

Boulder Mountain

We go camping every year with Brett's family. Usually its in September and we go south so its warm enough. This year we went to Boulder Mountain. Its in the middle of the state and higher in elevation then the desert. It was so beautiful! We were surrounded by Pondersosa pines and a creek to one side of us. We stayed at the Rosebud ATV campground. They have trails for the 4 wheelers right out of the campground. We would take the 4 wheelers for drives and there would be the desert. The views were AMAZING! I hope we go there again. It was a little chilly at night (the dog water didn't freeze but it was pretty darn close) but comfortable during the day. Levi and his girlfriend drove to go camping with us on there way to Vegas. It was good to see them and finally meet Megan. I love camping in the summer but I'm ready for fall!

Driving to get service to make sure Levi finds the place

Brett accidently broke the camera. It still works but we can't see what we take a picture of until we download them on the puter. Hopefully we can get a new one soon, or this is going to be one boring blog with no pictures!

How is my garden looking?

I wasn't able to plant my big garden this year and almost just didn't do one. But my father in law gave me some pepper and tomato plants and Ryan gave me two extras he had. The neighbor gave me two acron squash plants and a pumpkin magically appeared. I only took pictures of the veggies today. I'm going to let Khloe take pictures of her flowers.Red Peppers

I'm so grateful we have these. They are $1.50 in the store! These are free and HUGE!
Purple Peppers, taste like green peppers but they are PURPLE! Great for some color in salsa

I have 8 tomato plants, 6 celebrities and 2 better boys
They are all going to ripen at the same time and I'm going to make some more salsa. Lots and lots of salsa

My surprise pumpkin! It just started growing.
