Sometimes it's Overwhelming...

...Life that is. Vacation was amazing...pictures will come later. It was so hard to come back. We loved spending time with our family, being in the mountains, spending time at Bear Lake, familiy reunions, class reunions....oh - and did I mention the mountains and the smell of pine, and camp fires!

Came back and jumped right into work. School has been hot - no AC in our buildings. I've come home sick a couple of different days. Getting ready for a stake RS activity and looking down the road to Auxiliary Training. We're already thinking about Christmas and wondering where we'll be spending it this year. With family - but here or there we don't know yet.

Visitors

Nathan, Tiffany and kids stopped by for a couple of nights on their way to Indiana. We had such a good time playing with the kids and staying up way too late to talk! We went to a friend's home for the 4th and had our own fireworks display. So fun!

The boys slept on the floor in sleeping bags - Emma decided she needed a little bit of this fun!

Logan, Emma, Dallin and Porter

Don's new buddy - Port, Port!

Happy Birthday Dad

If my dad were still alive - he would be 98 today. Millie has had me digging through genealogy as of late, and my heart and thoughts have been on family a lot: Turning the hearts of the children to their fathers......

Rex D. Bassett was born 6 July 1912. We weren't extremely close when I was growing up. Dad wasn't a warm, fuzzy type of guy - but even with the problems he had in his life - he was always very supportive of me and the things that I wanted to accomplish. He was my dad - I love him - and I miss his deep brown eyes and that 'look' that he would give us from across the room. Happy Birthday dad!


My dad loved horses and growing up we always had a horse in the corral. When they weren't ours, we boarded them for neighbors. Dad was a member of the Caribou County Sheriff's Posse.

Dad and his siblings. They were a close bunch. Lucille, Lenore, Bernice, Rex, Homer, Pauline.

College Days

I've been redoing my old college scrapbooks. It's fun to look back and remember good times and good friends that all helped to shape my life 'way back when'! I used the Close To My Heart paper pack Twitterpated and the 'Thumbnails' layout from the CTMH Imagine scrapbooking layout book.

Bedrooms Redone

Millie's room - new paint, new bedspread. Still need to get the decorative pillow done, but the fabric I will use is laying on the sham! Made the valance and the chair cover from fabric I already had!




Amanda's room - newly painted and decorated.
