Long Time No Blog.....




Sooo.. it's been a while and I've only got a few minutes so I'll make this quick. We've been having a great time in good old Jerome lately. It's a smeltering 100 degrees outside, but we havn't melted yet! We just got back from a great vacation to Montana for Ben's Grandma's 90th birthday celebration/Family Reunion and it was a great getaway! The mountains were quite a refresher, and it was fun to kick back and realx with the relatives for a few days. We only had one major catastrophe amongst 80 people, our 11 year old nephew went diving playing touch football and ran right into a barbed wire fence. Not a pretty sight! 73 stitches later though he was fine and didn't shed one tear through the whole evnt! What a trooper!
Then we came back to reality and back to work for me, but Ben has been enjoying the whole week off doing house and yard work. He has fully curbed our front yard now and I must day it is beautiful (pictures will follow when it's all done). Our little Jadyn had her first b-day on Monday...and we did nothing :( Bad mommy bad mommy!! We just were a bit worn out from travelling, sick of cake from the seven different ones we had to eat during the reunion, and you know, I don't think she even noticed. Luckily Grandma Brenda took care of her though by baking yummy cupcakes and wrapping a gift for when we stopped in IF on the way back home. Thank goodness for Grandmas! I can't believe my little munchikin is one already! Time has really flown by this year! She is almost walking and has two teeth..keep it up Jadyn!!
The fourth was...well.. quite boring since we didn't make it to IF this year like we usually do. Jerome is too cool for parades, and by the time got situated on the grass for the fireworks they were over. YIPEE! OH well, maybe next year will be more exciting!! Anywho, that's the long and reallly short of my life for now- I promise to try and be a better blogger and write more soon- I still love reading all your stuff fellow bloggers!!
TTFN!!!
