TPing the Ingersol's :)

So, my friend Denise, had never been TPing before, and was so excited to go. So, we formed a team and TPed the pastor of our church and his family/friends while they were camping. We had a great time!

Denise and I :) TPing friends.
Nice look Denise
I look a little crazy here! Maybe I was a little too excited about toilet papering.

The 4th and the Great Grandparents!

The 4th of July. What a wonderful day to finally have John home! We ventured out to see the grandparents in Spokane. John's grandparents are almost all in there 90's and all look pretty terrific to me! It was wonderful to visit with them and to show off little Zach. We then went to Riverfrount park to see the fireworks and then stayed the night at John's parent's place. It was a fun-filled weekend! Chloe, Grandpa Bob and Zach.
Grandma Genie and Zach. While we were at Riverfrount Park, we luckily ran into family! Aunt Joyce, Uncle Donnie and my cousins, Chad, Sheila and Baby Caleb. Can't be that!

The 2 pics above we are waiting for the fireworks. Funny enough we, and hundreds of others, were waiting in the wrong spot. Everyone got up and ran for the next hill over when the fireworks started!
John and kids getting ready to ride the Carosel!

Moving and frineds

Well, after 2 yrs....it has arrived. "It" being everything we left in HI. When I look back we really only had 3 weeks to store, ship or sale everything we owned when we found out John was being deployed, and we sold, sold, sold! I'm extreemly unsentimental, so I became a full-time craigslister! But there were some photo albums, and a few things that no one came to buy, that we stored in a 6x7x8 storage container in HI.
Untill now, this seemed like such a small amount of stuff....I surely coudln't have kept all this crap the movers just dropped off.....what will I do with it now?? Can anyone say yardsale?!
I might be slightly overwhelmed by the stuff, but the kids are feeling like it's Christmas in July and are loving unwrapping some old things...even a few toys!





Oh, it's always fun when Racheal comes to town, and her, Jeremy and their kids came a week or so ago. It was so much fun hanging out with them and the Guads. We took their boat out on the Snake and had pizza. Wish we got to do it so much more often!
