We have had a very fun and busy summer. Its been great to have friends and family visit and stay with us and has definitely helped ease the homesickness (is that a word?) for the northwest. A few weeks ago we took Isaac and went to Lake Powell with my dad, step mom, brother, girlfriend Erin, and some family friends. There were a lot of firsts for Isaac such as catching his first fish! We hiked and saw some pretty awesome scenery and did a lot of wake boarding and tubing. In fact, my elbow is still healing from where I rubbed the skin off trying to hang onto the tube so tight!

Steve has been traveling a lot for work lately, but has been fortunate to be able to play some golf while he's at it. Always nice! Since he's been so busy I just decided that we would have to tag along with him if we were going to see him much. So, recently we traveled with him to Boise where we left the kids with his family - hallelujah! Then, I went along with him to McCall, ID. What a beautiful place in an awesome setting. Since Steve worked in the daytime I got to have some quiet, peaceful time to myself just reading and checking out the town. I felt sooo lucky! We can't wait to go back sometime during the winter and check out Brundage ski resort.

We're glad the weather is finally changing and are looking forward to a nice fall!
