I have been slacking!!! But we have been busy! Here are some slide shows of our business;



This is our trip to the Tri-Cities at the end of June for Than's stepsister Alana's wedding to Brian. Pics of the wedding, reception, and playing at Grandma & Grandpa Roberts house.



Here are some pictures of our return trip to Tri-Cities on Monday after hearing that my Dad had a heart attack. Thanks to all the prayers, he's recovering well.



We came back from Tri-Cities on the 4th, and went to Sunnyside park for the 4th of July festivities. In the 7 1/2 years we've lived in Pullman, we've never gone. And since our good friends the Mickelsen's don't live here any more to host an awesome bbq with a spectacular fireworks show (compliments of the Johnsons and the Botts and their firework fetishes), we thought we'd try Sunnyside this year. We love and miss you Mickelsen's!


And lastly this past week my cousin Shay, his wife Heidi and their kids (Marissa 12, Sean 10/11?, Emily 6/7?, Tyson 4) came up for Sean's All-Stars baseball championship in Moscow Id. They traveled 10 hours on a huge bus from Idaho Falls, and stayed with us. We had a blast! Shay's mom & dad (Susan & Terry) drove their trailer up and came to the games too. It was a fun weekend seeing as we weren't able to go down to Hell's Canyon this year for the annual camping trip with alot of my Dad's family because of Than trying to get done with school. My dad even came up briefly to visit with his sister (Susan). So it worked out that we where able to help them out. Shay & Heidi and Susan & Terry, you're welcome back any time!

He's doin' great!




My dad is doing great! He is coming home today. He is such an active guy (still playing church basketball at 5:30am several times a week) that this "resting" is driving him nuts!!! He is now realizing the severity of the situation, and how close he came to death, that's it's been a humbling experience. We will be staying a couple more days, then heading back to Pullman ourselves. Thank you SOOO much for all your thoughts, prayers, emails, and calls. It was extremely close, but he made it I KNOW with the help of all your support.
Above is two pictures I took of him about 12 hours after the stent placement, and even then he was looking great!
