Monday is Judah's Birthday

Happy Birthday Judah! We hope your Birthday is so special. I think Dad was taking you out to shoot guns. I wish we were there to sing you Happy Birthday! Enjoy your present from us.

I just love this age where their mouths are mixed with a few baby teeth and big grown up teeth too. It signals the change from little boy to dropping the 'little'. It's a bit sad but exciting with what the next phase brings.

Tomatoes are Ripe!

This is such a fun time of year with all the fresh fruits and veggies ripening. The header is our Snuggle named Burley (he's our little farmer) picking ripe tomatoes. Rick made some awesome salsas today! I spent 4 days this week in Minneapolis. It is pretty flying in with all the lakes. If you love boating, you must check this place out. It even has light rail from the airport directly to The Mall of America for all those back to school shopping needs or a shopaholics dream.

Nick and Sara are starting the process of looking at houses and seeing what they can or can't afford. It's a real eye opener. I'm sure if its meant to be, the right deal will come along. We also expect housing prices to drop further as people realize that summer is nearly over and their house isn't selling this year.

Bob Fixin Sprinklers

Last Wednesday, we took off to St. George to check on the house and lot. They've been getting a lot of rain in southern Utah. Before we left, Rick (with Bob's help) had to fix a sprinkler that was hit by the lawn mower.

He's a food dicing chef!

Rick's been enjoying the food channel so he picked out a food processor for his birthday from Shirley. It's been amazing! If I'd of known that I'd get all these treats, I surely would have gotten him one much sooner. We've had fresh salsa, puree sauces to stuff chicken with, and tonight - Chile Verde with a little kick. Yum! Thanks Shirley!

Happy Birthday Emilee!!!!

Today, Aadam and Michele's daughter, Emilee turns 6! I'm sure there will be quite the party with cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and Great Grandparents in attendance. Have a wonderful Birthday Emilee!
