A good evening spent with friends.

On Friday night we had a neighborhood, friend, part ward party (only because most of our friends are from the ward). It was a lot of fun. We have been wanting to do this for about 2 or 3 years. We are lame, we need to do more get togethers. We got to official use our redneck gazebo. It was cool. A lot of comments on it. We also cooked a milk can dinner and everyone love it. A lot of people had never had one. We had 43 people there, wow, huh!

Good News on Bailey

Bailey had her last Dr. appointment that would be related to the night mare we all lived through 3 weeks ago. It still sneaks up on me at times and makes me shutter how scary it really was. I feel so blessed and thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who watches over us and answers prayers. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So the Dr. Brady Cook said she was doing great. Her lungs sound great and all is well. We had an echo cardiogram done and it was explained to us and she does have a slight slight regurgitation from a valve but the Dr. said nothing to worry about. Maybe when she is 60 she might have a heart murmers, but nothing to worry about. Sounds so good to us!! So we went to Red Robin to eat to celebrate this great news. We are so grateful. If she ever has to have surgery she will need to let them all know what happened so extra precautions can be taken. But the Dr. said that she could have surgery and everything could go just as planned that just because this happened doesn't mean it would happen again. I hope she doesn't ever have to have surgery. Cross our fingers. They don't know for sure sure what caused it all. ARDS could be a cause ( some kind of aspiration ) or caused from the breathing tube ( Laryngo spasm) causing negative pressure pulmonary edema. We did get the gallbladder report back and no cancer or anything like that but it was diseased. She has been feeling pretty good. Sometimes her stomach still hurts after she eats but hopefully it will just keep getting better and better as her body adjusts to not have a gallbladder. We are hoping for an AWESOME SENIOR YEAR!!

Floating the River

Even if you float the river every year, which we usually do, the scenery does not change but it never gets old looking at it. BEAUTIFUL! We had a fun float. Very peaceful until...... As we pulled the blue boat up onto the dock Bailey look behind where her and I were sitting and there was a mouse. Boy did we exit that boat fast. I am so thankful we did not see the stupid critter until we were on dry ground. I can only imagine what would have happened in the middle of the river. Yikes. We also had  an interesting experience that was new to us. We heard some rustling in the bushes right at the edge of the river and as we floated by there was a moose and her calf getting ready to come into the river. They were just right there. It felt like you could almost reach out and touch them. So glad they decided they were scared of us also. Whew!




Stacy's glad that our little visitors did not run up his pant legs!

Standard Floating the River Must Have!





The sun set was amazing because of all the smoke in the air from fires.

Fun Camping Do Nothing Week End

We took off Friday around noon and headed up on the Loop road to do some camping. A whole lot of nothing and watching Heartland and a stubble buggy ride is about all that happened. We had a great time.

What's Missing??

What a strange picture for you fellow Teton Valley Ites. Do you see what is missing????
Where are the Peaks? It was so hazy, smokey, and yucky this evening. Too many fires. Cross our fingers that we don't have any fires!

Big Juds


Yesterday we went out to the big city of Archer and had the privilege of eating at Big Juds. Jim and Marlyn and their girls and families were passing through and invited any or all to meet them out there. We had to go pick up parts at noon at John Deere so it worked out good. It did take most of our day since it took us an hour and half to get our food. But we were all happy to visit so it was a good day. We got home around five and we were so tired we layed down and slept til 6;30. Bad time to go to sleep huh?! Stacy went out side for a little bit and then Stacy and I drove into town and took root beer floats to Scot and Dani's and visited them. It was a good day.
