way too long since I've posted any news! I have become a total "farmtown" junkie on facebook!! I am a pretty fantastic little farmer though..if I do say so myself!!
We had a really fun 4th of July yesterday! The parade was sooo fun for the kids thanks to a friend of Rob's who let us drive his grass-covered volkswagon bug in the parade! I will definitely post pics of that one! Tucker came back from the parade, and told me "Mom we were famous! Everyone liked our car the best!" It was so cute. Also, we found a slug living in the grass along the back bumper, and Tuck said, "It really IS a slugbug!" sooo hysterical! Tylar was such a sport letting both brothers sit on her lap! The back seats have been removed to add water tanks to supply water to the pop up sprinkler on the top of the car, so all three kids and Daddy had to fit in the front. Good thing they became famous, or it would never have been worth it!
I really will post some pics tomorrow, but for now...I miss my sweetie, and he has a long work week ahead of us!

So, we got a tip from my parents about this unbelievable wood oil that brings old wood back to life...here's the results. The "before" shots are actually our neighbors house; they have the exact same decking on their house. We just forgot to take a before shot of ours.

FHE at the Portland Temple

We took the kids to walk the grounds at the Portland Temple tonight. I would highly recommend it to anyone close enough to a temple. We had each one of them touch the wall outside and told them to close their eyes and remember how important the temple is to our family. I also told them to pay attention to the feeling they got when they touched the temple. It was an amazing evening, and so fun to remember what is most important in our lives, and I will not soon forget it! Here are some pictures we took. I have to admit that I was trying our the "flower" setting on my camera...I was pretty tickled with my little self! ;o)

The Zoo

We had such a good time with my Mom and Dad at the Portland Zoo on Saturday! I thought these photos were worth posting. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a great weekend!!
