A new play house

What a blessing it is to have great Friends. The Johns family decided that they wanted Olivia to have their play house that their kids had out grown. Olivia thinks it is pretty neat she loves to cook her big brothers salad (grass) in HER house.

A wonderful week

My cousin Chandlle and her family ( husband Jeremy and 2 daughters) drove up from Oklahoma to stay the week with us. We had fun showing them Coeur d'Alene. We went down town picnicked at the city park and walked the board walk and then went for a little swim. My Mom and Dad joined us and we went to Silverwood one day, where we also meet up with some of Craigs family that was in town visiting. The weather was not that great not unusal for June in North Idaho but they even went out on Mom and Dads boat one day. It was great getting to visit with family. We cherish all the time we had with them.

Water Gun Fun

Chandler had his 2 good buddy's over to spend the night and I caught them in Olivia's LITTLE pool refilling their water guns. I LOVE IT!!!

Camping at Riley Creek

I took Gabe and 3 of his Friends camping for 4 days. JR. HIGH BOY CAMPING!!!! Just Olivia and I and of course Molly were the only girls. We had Fun. The boys rode bikes, swam and made a really cool fort. Dad and Cody joined us the last day. Chandler was on a weeks camping trip with Grammy and Poppy in there new RV. Olivia loved the water and seemed more at ease that we would be going home and not staying for ever. Lots of Summer fun !!!
