First of the garden.....

These are my first Tomatoes from my plants on the patio and I have several more. They have done very well this summer maybe that is because I have watered them so much this summer, you think that might be cause. LOL.... oh I think maybe. Any way , I have really enjoyed my patio this summer and have tried to spend time out there each day.

Happy Birthday Chris 2011

• Chris had a birthday and we celebrated it with him. It was a  nice time. We had a chocolate cake and ice cream, I must say we missed everyone else that generally is here. It is hard to believe that he is 38 this year.

Pretty Patio

I wanted to take pictures of the patio this year, I don't think Stacie had a chance to take pictures of the finish patio that we worked on while she was here . We painted the patio furniture all white to go with the Rockers. I really enjoy sitting out there but it gets hot, so we put of a "curtain" so at least my Rocker is in the shade all day. I am very happy with the look. We also as you might notice took down the swing set while she was here, it looks so nice and makes it much easier to mow the back yard. Any way hope you enjoy  and some time come join me on my lovely patio.

A few more from our mini vacation

Fourth of July 2011

Well, we had a great time on our mini vacation up north. Friday night Bruce and I went a night earlier then Chris, but he met us up there Sat. afternoon. Friday night Bruce and I checked into the hotel room, enjoyed the evening and went to bed. Sat. morning, we wanted to go to Rexburg to the Temple there, so we drove all the way to it only to find it closed because they had no water. We headed back to Idaho Falls, to the hotel as the Temple there is closed for construction. So no Temple this weekend. We went back to the hotel and ate lunch and watched tv until Chris arrived, after he got there, we got ready to go to Driggs, Idaho to see the 4th celebration with Glen Beck. It was awesome and we were there from about 5 pm until midnight. We went back to the hotel which was about an hour away or so and went to bed. Yesterday we started early and went to Yellowstone, we took lots of pictures and I will share some here with you. We got back in town around nine and went to the Outback for dinner. Then headed over to the Hotel, and went to bed.

This morning I woke up not feeling well, my stomach was yucky so we headed home and arrived around noon. It was a great time and we are so happy we went.
