Anyways, We got a few projects done while he was here. We, well he did it cause I wasn't home, put in a 5 foot wide fence to hide our garbage cans on the side of our house. Also we both along with the help of Kaleb, Austin and Austins friend, Bryce, dug up the area behind the fence so we could put in a cement pad. I have always hated seeing the garbage cans, so now we don't see them when you pull in the driveway. Sorry its late and i know I'm rambling.
Also, I went to Seattle (that's why i couldn't help with the fence) with my dear friend Lori. We flew out there so that we could drive her van home. It was shipped from Germany to Seattle. So we had an awesome road trip home. It was long, but I had a blast with her! She knew James before I met him, so it was great to hear a few stories about him :) hehe
We had a bonfire night with our neighbors, the Monson's. They had dinner and a pie contest. So I made my yummy Chocolate Ribbon pie. I didn't care about the win or anything, i just wanted to place. So the Judges went in to judge the pies... Then they came out to announce the winners. So they started with the first place winner. They had given us all a number so that they could us them to keep track. So they said, and the first place pie winner is, and they said number 1!! And Kaleb said YES!! That was our pie! Kaleb helped me make it. He used the beaters to mix it up. So it was a big deal to him. I let him go up and collect the prize. It was a lovely baking dish with yummy apples in it, and some of the Lavender Hill Honey!! Yummy Yummy!!
Let's see, what else? Oh yeah, umm I had a sinus, ear and chest infection. That was fun. I got antibiotics from the Dr. But I didn't finish them. So the infection ended up going into my broken tooth. It hurt so bad! Then the night before i could go to the dentist, the infection drained into my cheek and my jaw where my bad tooth was. It was horrible. It looked like I had a golf ball in my cheek! So my little chicken self went to the dentist with my wonderful hubby by my side :)
Dr. Larson is the best ever!! If you need a dentist, go to him! He fixed me up as much as he could for now, until the swelling is all the way gone. So I took the meds, and it made me very very sick! I thought I got the swine from my sis in law who was sick the day before i got sick. But nope. it was my meds. And of all days it happened, it was the one year anniversary of when my dad passed away :( I missed the whole day! I wasn't able to go the cemetery to let go of the balloons that we do. It was really hard for me to miss it! But James and Kaleb went, cause Austin was a bit sick too.
My dad... I miss him so much every day!! It hurts so bad knowing that he will not be here with us to live our lives. To see my kids grow up into wonderful men. He was such a great example to them and I hope that they hold that with them for the rest of their lives! My heart breaks for Julie. She lost her husband at such a young age! She is such an awesome lady! She was the one woman that made him so very very happy! I love and admire Ju with all of my heart! She is the best!
