Russ' New Passion...

Logs!!! He's been working on my Dad's house for the last year and has developed a new talent with logs. They've milled all of their own logs for the house. They get to cut and mill and treat the wood. They've done all the logs you see here on the inside of the house and the half logs for the siding outside. He loves it!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

We had a fun 4th of July in McCall. We went out to this gorgeous lake that is on the land of some friend's of ours. Happy and quiet and private from the throngs of people that come to McCall for the 4th. We played on the lake-canoes and rafts and kayaks, and played on the beach and enjoyed the beautiful place where we live.




Our sweet Grandma Great Belnap and Grandpa Great Dillon enjoying the day.

Girls just being cute girls...

And...boys just being boys...all you need is swords and dirt...

Notice how much the kids are enjoying this by covering their ears!

Some injuries...Rachel fell off her bike and Cody tripped and slammed his head on the pavement. Also, Cody had a scary choking episode with a gummy worm and Brett fell all the way down Grandma's stairs. Yikes. We kept a close eye on Brock for the rest of the day because we figured he was next!


Russ and Joe's serious handstand contest

Watching the fireworks from Amy & Joe's boat on the lake. Downtown McCall is built next to the massive & beautiful Payette Lake. For the fireworks, they pull a huge barge to the center of the lake and let them off there. Good times...

This one's for you momma Jones. I was going to be mean to get even for your post,,, but I decided not to...

SOME FUN PICTURES

Downtown McCall-Notice Rachel's pink purse. She can't go anywhere without that thing!


Dana was one of the girl's camp directors and I got to go up for Bishop's night. This place is about 15 minutes from our house and is just awesome.

NO MORE CAST FOR RACHEL

The day after Rachel's cast came off we got to head to the beach in town. She was a happy girl. And after our horribly long winter, we were reminded once again why we live here--it's so beautiful!!!

BRETT IS 1

I can't believe my boy is already 1!
