Our Amazing Weekend..


There is this person by the name of Chris Derksen, who ended up going to the same camp in Texas that we did. I think that you can guess what happened, (by looking at the picture above) but I will tell you anyway! :) Chris saw Jessica and Jessica saw Chris and thus a fine relationship has begun between Canada and Arizona. :) Corresponding over email is great, yes, but seeing each other would be even better, so Chris came down all the way from Saskatchewan to see her. "True story! =)

I must admit it was a lot of fun having you here, Chris,  even if you did tease me a lot! :/ And now Jessica misses you more then ever!! =D Infact the whole family misses you!
Micah and Jenny were here for the weekend too. They spend a lot of their weekends here, which is perfectly fine with all of us! :)

Catan - a game that gets played quite often around here!
 We had everyone over for games and volley ball and had an *awesome* time! 
Taking Chris up to see the old mail station.


Hiking to the station...

Jenny went and bought some chickens for meat and then brought them up here for us to help butcher.

Doggies


This month has been a very busy one for dog boarding! 

Last week we had 17, almost as many as we had for Christmas!

For some reason we got a barky batch this time, so we are all woke up by 6:00, and the only way to get them to stop barking is a long walk. We have been getting plenty of exercise! :)

The owners of this dog hoped that she would wait to have her pups till they got back, and sure enough she did. We were all kinda thinking it would be fun if she had her puppies here, but we were glad that she didn't for the owners sake. She ended up having 8 puppies! 

Walking dogs...















"Go Dad!!"


So if any of you are wondering what we have been up too - this gives you a little idea! ;)
