Ahhh! No computer!

Wow, our computer crashed! I have been without it for about 4 days. Thanks to Barry for taking most of the day to get it up and running again.
The boys had their dentist appointments yesterday and NO CAVITIES! I have no idea how we dodge that bullet! Wyatt had his first appointment yesterday and did great!
Today Wyatt and I have a doctor's appointment. His allergies are pretty bad so it is time for some Nasonex.
Niki is here and has an interview with Lamb Weston/Conagra. We are very excited for her.
Barry is going to mow before it is 100 degrees out there.
****Kitchen/family room floor update The carpet is going but the vinyl will stay for awhile. It still has function.
****Garden update Seeing beans and cherry tomatoes have been ripening one at a time. I know next week I will have a ton all of a sudden.
Barry ordered a 1,000 watt food dehydrator and we are set for the rush of tomatoes.

Moses Lake

We are off to Moses Lake Aquatic Center today. 100 degrees so it should be fun! I feel like I should be staying home and getting some work done. But I have to remember that is summer and I need to have fun too! Went shopping yesterday for flooring. Thought I was on to something but found out that I wasn't. I swear I am just going to take it down to the sub floor myself and paint it! Not really but we just can't come to a mutual decision. Ugh!
Barry and the boys put together a bean pole structure with bamboo from the neighbors house. It is very cool.
New pics on Barry's blog!

Carrots!





Carrot time! Wyatt helped me harvast our carrots from the garden. We got more that I expected and they are healthy! Niki helped peel and cut and blanch and freeze! Now we have a good supply for soups and stew this fall/winter.

Our onion crop has been a big disappointment this year. But the tomatoes are looking good and we are going to have more than enough. We are shopping for a dehydrator so we can dry some for pizzas and pasta later.

Niki was here for a few days. She had a job interview and we are hoping for the best. She helped us finish up our vacation. Barry and I were talking and we don't have very many vacations left this year.

So it is Monday and we are getting back in to our routine. Coming up...Coop's 6th birthday!

Happy Birthday Max!





Happy Birthday Max! He is 10 years old today! We love you! Max had a sleep over with Will and Caleb and fun was had by all. O.K. maybe not by Mom and Dad so much! Swimming, Mario Kart WII and make your own ice cream sundaes!
Looking forward to the 4th of July and then camping at Lake Easton!
