Lots of catching up to do, and lots of pictures to post, so I'll try to keep this simple.
We went up to Wyoming for about a week at the end of June. Our main purpose for going was to visit with Brian's family (all 8 of the siblings were there!) and to be a part of the baby blessing of our newest Humpherys niece, darling Scarlett.
Star Valley is so beautiful and green in the summer! I even managed to get our on a little run a few mornings and enjoyed the cool mountain air.
Our other purpose for going was so Brian could work on building a new entertainment center. Our house had a built-in unit but we got a TV a while ago that was too wide for the allotted space. Brian thought he might try to remodel the current unit, so he pulled it all out and loaded it in the back of out truck and we all squished in the truck for the long drive. Once there, he decided it would be easier to just start a new unit from scratch so he spent a good portion of his time over in his brother's cabinet shop making us another new beautiful piece of furniture.
McKay spent a lot of his time helping Brian in the shop. The girls even would go over for little bits to check out the work.
Here is the finished piece being loaded in the truck.
The rest of us spent our time doing fun things like...
playing on the tree and rope swing in the backyard...
hanging out in the chicken coop (one of the girl's favorite places)...
and the favorite thing inside the chicken coop is throwing chickens up to see how far they fly...
and playing with cousins...
I enjoyed spending a lot of my time reading -- it's nice to be able to sit with a book and not feel too terribly guilty about the housework I'm avoiding.
More to come!
