Summer, Summer

It has been quite the busy summer for us......as summer should be!
We have had a lot of fun things going on - which I have NOT documented.
The reason for the neglect is embarrassing. - I got a new computer and just barely figured out how to upload my pictures. I probably should have just asked Vance. He is the only one who can change the TV back to cable after we watch a movie.

I'll do a quick summary - Adam has been working. WE have had 3 relatives living with us for the summer - V turned 5 - I turned another year older - we are growing a garden - AND - it's really hot and sweaty in ND in the summer!
That's pretty much it - we just keep getting older and sweatier!


I have some pictures to share of V's birthday party. He wanted a batman pirate party - I got him to settle on a pirate pool party instead. It was really fun!
Adam's brother made a really neat treasure chest for him( couldn't upload those pics for some reason) and Adam took all the kids on a treasure hunt. Most importantly we had ice cream cake - it was delicious.

The missionaries joined our little party. Vance has become quite enamored with the missionaries lately. It is so cute to watch him be so excited about them. The missionary on the far left is my 1st cousin. He got sent to our area for his last 6 weeks. It was so funny to see him at church on Sunday. I knew he was here - but he didn't know I was! Priceless!
V and his uncle D have close birthdays so we celebrated him as well!
The boys are about to discover treasure!!
Vance and his pirate party peeps!
