More Reunion

Whips were very popular during this reunion.  They cracked  beautifully with the mountains to echo off of!

Jared blessed my heart.  I loved hearing him talk and Zerrick was pretty impressed that Jared taught him how to catch night crawlers.  

The slide that Mathias continually whined, "down, down" about.

Precious.

My husband grilled the family a HUGE amount of ribs.  I thought they  were pretty good...as far as pork goes. 

spoiled face.  

After the ribs were done they did chicken breasts too.  And those were fabulous as well.  Jay stuck with Matt all day and helped out.  

Other helpers and visitors.....

Favorite Skrivseth Uncle... :) 

Barrel rides.


Dear spoiled one....scaring me every time he got to the top of that thing. 

Nothing like dear friends from long ago.  I was so thrilled Kristy and JoAnna came to spend Sunday afternoon .  Love my friends that I don't get to see very often.

So that's it.  I have better pictures on my phone and other places but I'm quitting now.  This reunion was probably one of the oddest reunions.  I felt tired and yucky the whole time.  Probably because we had, had guests at our place till right before we left and I was in crash mode till we got out there.  I feel kind of like I missed a lot of the good conversations and laughs but I did try to relax and enjoy the moments.
    Of course when I started to feel good my middle child got sick and then the reunion ended.  On Monday right before we left for home we went back up to the campground and helped a little with clean up and got to get in a few more nice memories.  Dayton wanted to pray with us before we went and we felt very blessed and loved when we drove out.   He and the rest of whoever was there came right over to our car and had a prayer huddle with us and then hugs all around.  I was crying by the time we were done praying (silly me)....so anyhow, that was special and thank you Dayton for praying for us.  
   And so we headed home and got as far as Bozeman, Montana.  That night the other three dropped.  And I was left with a bunch of sickies in a strange city in a motel room.  But EVERYONE was praying and God gave me tangible touchable strength.  And we ended up having a nice stay there as well.  Finally on Wednesday we headed home and DROVE....I drove much of the way and we got home on Thursday morning at 2:30 am.  Ah it was bliss to be home home home!  Thanks you all for praying us home.
     And thank to ALL of you Idaho family for putting out so much time and money and love for us all to get together for Dad and Mom's 50th.   Lets do it again in a couple years.

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
