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!!

Kent has been very busy this last week trying to get all of his hay baled. He has been baling hay the graveyard shift for most of the week and hauling day during the day, and so he has been very tired. Well, early Monday morning he somehow lost his brand new cell phone out in a hay field. So later on that day when I got home from work we went looking for a cell phone in a hay field. After an hour and a half of driving up and down every windrow, the cell phone was no where to be found and we were getting very discouraged. Luckily we have kept his old cell phone and had it reactivated so that he had a phone to use while we still tried to find the new one. So, this morning about 6:00 am he is out baling hay (again) when his dog, Zeus, was acting really excited and wanted to show him his latest prize. You see, this dog is always bringing Kent his latest find: shoes, mice, dead cats, etc. Well, the dog was bringing Kent his cell phone! Don't know where he found it, but Kent was very excited and happy to have his new phone back. So, even though I hate this dog, he did go a good thing and so I guess I will let Kent keep him for a little while longer.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had such a fun weekend! Derek decided to come home from Provo for weekend since he had Monday off from work ,and brought a "friend" with him. Her name is Heather, so every time someone said her name, we kept thinking it was our Heather. She is such a fun person and hopefully Derek will bring her home again another time. Moe and Jennie Lewis also came for the weekend from Echo. Jennie and Kelly were supposed to go the Bishop's cabin to meet his twin brother-in-laws, but one of them got very sick, so the whole thing was called off. So, Jennie and Kelly hung around with the family while Moe went to Jerome to see her grandkids. For the singles ward's FHE last night we had an American Idol karaoke night, complete with judges. They picked Kent to be Simon, and boy did he do a good job. I am surprised that some of the kids weren't in tears when he was done judging them. Overall, we had a great weekend!
