Bluewater

I finally got my computer back so here are some pictures from our trip to the cabin. This is Jaycie riding the quad. She has gotten pretty good at driving around.
We had smores to nights when we were up there. That was alot of fun.
We hiked down to the water fall. We call it the jungle. Rob did a great job getting down there. I didn't think he could do it but he did. He was very tired afterward.
Ever since my family started going to the cabin and hike the jungle we get a picture on this rock. There has been some good memories. Here is my family plus three friends. Dana Woodbury(Karissa's friend), McKay Angle(Jake's friend), and Taylor McCleary(Kelsey's friend).
Here's the cabin. We love going to Bluewater, New Mexico. My parents didn't come with us this year because of Edwin's death and we had to cut our trip short because of the funeral but it was beautiful and alot of fun. The fireworks on the 4th was alot of fun too.

Busy July

Sorry I haven't posted. My computer broke and is getting fixed. I am on Rob's so there will be no pictures. Sorry! On June 30th my brother Edwin died. He was 60 years old. We left for Bluewater on July 2nd as planned but came home on July 6th for Edwin's funeral on July 7th. His funeral was nice and alot of relatives came. Rob gave the plan of salvation talk and Karissa and I did the prelude. I played the piano and she played the cello. We did primary songs because my brother served alot in the nursery. The short vacation was nice. All of my family went and a few friends of the kids. We haven't had a vacation with everyone in three years. Today Jake had his nose surgery to fix his broken nose. Also today, Jaycie had 8 teeth taken out by the oral surgeon. 4 babies and 4 adults. They are both doing pretty good. Also, my uncle Bud died last friday and his funeral is today in Idaho. I was not able to go with all of these surgeries. He was 90. I will post more when I can put pictures up.

Kelsey's birthday and skidiving

Sorry this will go out of order a little bit because I don't know how to fix it. This is the little brown plane they jumped from at 10,000 feet!
For Kelsey's birthday Kelsey, Karissa, Kali and I went and had pedicures. Kali's foot is at the top, Kelsey's is the tan one on the right (she is life guarding and getting tan), Karissa is at the bottom, and then me on the left.
This is Kelsey coming in for her landing.
Kelsey and her cake! Big 18!!

Happy Birthday Kelsey Donnette!! Today Kelsey turns 18!! I can't really believe it. This is her on Halloween with her friend Amber. (Yes, that is her hair all curled)
She has always been a active girl. She will try anything. Thus tomorrow she will be jumping out of a airplane. That is all she has ever wanted for her 18th birthday. Karissa and Rob are going to jump with her. Hopefully I will have good pictures to post.
She loves to sing and perform. It was great watching her this year.
She is so beautiful. She doesn't think so but she is inside and out!!
I just plainly love this picture. I blew it up to a 5X7 and put it up in the hallway.(Yes, I took that shot) We are so grateful to have this great girl in our family. She almost didn't make it at birth (cord around her neck 4 times, yes, long story) but we are so grateful she is a fighter. Kelsey you have truly blessed this family. We love you! By the way she is speaking in church this
Sunday about fathers. She said I will cry hard.
