Idaho trip pictures

The worse place to be if you don't like heights.  Look Out Pass.  And yes the kids were looking down and talking about what was down there and MATT looked down and I got all weak in my knees and cried two tears.  I never use to be this way. 

On our way home we  got a super nice little apartment for 40$ because of our reward points we'd accumulated.  
We spent one afternoon swimming with the cousins in deep creek.  She was loving on this frog. 
After the deep creek swim we had Low Country Boil at the wildlife refuge with the family.  One last gathering....
An amazing delicious breakfast at Norvan's place.  We stayed at their place for three nights.  It was the perfect bed and breakfast.  I could have stayed there for a very long time. 
Low country boil.  It was so good.  
Evening campfire and supper at Jays
Dad and Moms' place.  I wondered through mom's gardens and yard for therapy one day....
Jeanie and I went with mom and dad to Sand point one day.  Dad got a new lease on life with his latest eye surgeries.  He drives much much safer now.  
Mom's black berries were LOADED
A picture right before we left. 
Our spot at Norvan's when we stayed there.  So perfect. 
Dad's hobby. 
A little tea party at grandma's

Breakfast at Norvan's
Breakfast at Mom's.  Around this bar is the place to be.  The entire time we were there she was in this kitchen producing so much food!  And it was delicious! 
Wild life refuge.  And Carissa refused to have that baby till we got home.  :) 
So much good peaches there this time. 
What was left of my food till I remembered to take a picture.  April and Jay made us this good food. 
Dad's grapes are doing well.....
Two good looking 13 year old boys.   Johnny's fun and talks with a cute lisp, and Zerrick's gawky and has a brain full of useless facts.  
He's got such deep eyes and he knows his mind.  He's basic.  That's a compliment. 
Treasured moment. 
Mom's biscuits.  Picture perfect.  How'd she do that anyway?! 
This long road is AWFUL! 
Older women teaching the younger. Hee hee!  Did you ever think you'd be there Danielle? 
Watching the swimmers
So much mud and sand and smiles. 
Coffee at the park and I got to meet Nakita.  It was too cold and crazy but hey I got to see Kristy a little! 
At Jays. 
I got to hug that baby to sleep three times!  He's pretty easy and basic too. 
Mud slide into deep creek
Evening at Brush Lake dock.  And the kids Kayaked  and Matt has those pictures.

Short evenings around this spot.  
My parents and Dayton.
Mathias and two of his new best friends. 



Nap time at Grandma's. 

At our motel.  She loved those remotes....called them phones. 
Trying to bare up after traveling too long. 

Forest fire.  We got to watch the helicopters dumping water.  It was fun for the kids to watch. 
almost home!!!! 



After much tears she succumbed to prayer!  She actually was sleeping!

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....
