We visited the Flying W Ranch one evening and had a great time together.  Everyone wants to be a cowboy, but Martin really loved playing the part for the night.  

We visited Helen Hunt Falls for some hiking and exploring and then enjoyed lunch by the river.  

Our HOA president often provides fun activities for the neighborhood kids and the last night Sheila & Martin were here, there was quite a party happening in front of our house after we returned home from dinner.  A pool noodle fight followed by a water gun fight was a great way to end our fun visit with family.  

Our house was VERY quiet after Sienna, Ethan, Sheila, & Martin left and we already look forward to our next visit with them.  Thank you for coming to visit us! 

In July, our family from England came to visit!  We were so excited to see Sheila, Martin, Sienna, & Ethan again.  I saw my sister almost two years ago, but it’s been four years since we saw the rest of the family.  A long time to wait for hugs!  

They stayed with us for almost a week and we packed in as much fun as we could!  We so enjoyed out time with them and love all of the new memories we have together.

In July we attended our local rodeo and so enjoyed the evening.  The view of the mountains as the sun set was a beautiful backdrop.  Following the rodeo, we enjoyed watching James’s drum teacher play for the live music and dancing.  And, Kenny taught Anna how to two-step!
