East Valley 10 Year Reunion

This past weekend was the East Valley High School 10 year reunion. There was a cruise on Lake CD'A, a park day and a bar night. I went to the latter two events, but I only have a picture from the park. There were more people at the evening events, I think those without kids felt like they shouldn't do the park thing. It was fun to reconnect with friends.

Why Do We Let 3 Year Olds Do Mutton Bustin'?

Silas showed his cowboy colors this weekend at the North Idaho Fair. He wanted to mutton bust, so we paid the fee and turned on the video camera. Poor guy had no idea that the sheep are not as friendly as the neighbor's horse. We did try to warn him, but he had his mind set.


Here's the little buckaroo post-bustin'.

Zip's and the Park

We enjoy the Chewelah park so much. Whenever Barry's parents are with us, we get to go to Zip's after our play time. Silas and the babies love fries...

5th Surgery

Barry had his fifth of the same type of sinus surgery this summer. The doctor was surprised (as they all are) at how much stuff was up in his sinuses. Here's my recovering man.

Grandpa Pat came over to help out during the recovery time. He really helped out; cleaning the garage, going to the dump and recycling our boxes... all things that Barry could have done if he was feeling up to it.

Barry's Birthday

A rather strange, but fun family gathering in honor of Barry's birthday. He turned 28! Oh, we can get a little corny sometimes...

(..couldn't help it!)
