Happy birthday to our dear sweet Abbie. You make us so happy everyday. So glad you are part of our family. We love you to pieces!!! ❤💛❤
Abbie had her friends, Ashtyn and our neighbor Avrie over to help her celebrate her special day. The girls got to paint bird houses, play pin the horn on the unicorn, eat Abbie's favorite dinner of ravioli, followed by unicorn cupcakes and ended the night watching the old film, "The Parent Trap" outside. It was fun birthday celebration.🎈🎂🎉
Sunday afternoon there was an organized 'range day' with the church middle school and high school. We shot pistols and rifles. Here is a cool capture of the rifle muzzle blast we got via slo motion video on an iPhone.
Noah went to Camp Tadmor this week and we picked him up today. He had a great time as always and can't wait to go back.
We got invited to go up boating for the day this past Sunday. Hunter and his friend Asher were tubing until their arms fell off.
Abbie went to Cougar Camp this week. It's a day camp day camp here in town and she had such a fun time. Her camp name was "Wild Flower." the campers got to hike, bike, swim, make crafts, sing songs and do skits.
Jennifer and the Gormly cousins came to visit this week. What fun week had!!
The kids got to have many swim days followed by biking riding, ice cream eating, movie watching, staying up late and camping out at Camp Owl (in the backyard). We even got to celebrate the two "sister cousins" August birthdays. It doesn't get better than that!
Fun memories were made and a good time was had by all. Until this next time Gormlys, we love YOU! ❤❤❤
It's 90 degrees out and Abbie and our neighbor Avrie are selling lemonade.
Two wildlife spotting’s in the back yard this morning within minutes.
As I sat out drinking my coffee I see this animal coming trotting cross our grass. Low and behold it’s a bobcat!
As I walk over to get a picture our friend the owl flies out of a tree into the post of the trampoline where I was able to get a video of it.
I hope these two start to make a dent in the population of chipmunks in the yard.
Our dear American friends the Newcombs who we met in Wales were driving through and stopped in for a visit. Von and Dellene and their youngest daughter Jessie have now been living in Thailand as missionaries. They are back in the states and are visiting their older children. Their youngest daughter Jesse will be joining her siblings in the south and attending college. Their oldest son is expecting his first child and Von and Dellene will be grandparents. So many wonderful things happening for this family. So happy we were able to connect and spend time together.
The only sad part is we forgot to take pictures of everyone the day they got in and just remembered to snap one right before they hit the road. Next time!
