Soccer

Ashlynn is playing soccer this summer, after not playing for the last 5 years, She started out a little rusty but has shown improvement every game. I am proud of you Ashlynn for trying something that is out of your comfort zone. Way to go!




Wallowa Lake

While we were at Wallowa lake we decided to hit the race track. Jason whooped all of us girls. Lindsay and I were in one car Bella and AShlynn were in another car and Rick and Cam were our spectators.





Philly

OK so Bella and Rick and I have been working hard to earn money for her Philly trip. I am so proud of how hard she has worked for this. Carwash's, weeding, sorting cans, paper route, selling crafty stuff at almost EVERY saturday's farmers market, babysitting, having a garage sale. The list goes on and on. I am proud to say we have over half the $2400. that she needs. Which is way more than any of her classmates. So I will show you what has helped her make the most money. These paracord bracelets and necklaces.

Jason was able to come visit for a little over a week this month and it was so great having him here. The first night he was here the three older kids all slept out on the tramp. I am not sure how comfortable it was but they had fun none the less.

ITS the little things that
