Update from the Funny Farm

Can't believe that summer is almost over! Although Kent has been very busy farming, we did manage to find time to do some fun things the last couple of months. In August we helped Quincy celebrate his 1st birthday by giving him his first 4 wheeler! We also spent the next day rafting the Boise River, which was a lot of fun.



The weekend of August 22, all of our kids were here, which was great! We went to the Western Idaho Fair in Boise and watched the Temptations in concert, it was very good. The next day we went on a picnic up at Bogus Basin. The weather was perfect and we had a good time.
At the end of August, Kent and I had to fly to Oklahoma for my mother's funeral. All of my siblings were there, so it was a nice time to all be together. We even took time to take a hike to Robbers Cave. Oklahoma was nice but a little too humid for me!
We got to babysit Quincy a few weekends ago while Tyler, Kati, and Matt went to the BSU football game. We had such a fun time with him. He loved Kelly's old toys, riding in the wagon, riding on the real 4 wheeler, and being the boss of our house!
Finally, we went to Provo last weekend to see Derek, Heather and Trevor, and Kelly, and also to go to a BYU football game. It was good to finally get away from the farm and work. We had a great time, the weather was perfect, and the football as good as ever.
Oh, and I almost forgot something very important that happened lately---We are going to be grandparents again! Thanks Heather and Trevor!!
