Girls camp pranks

I'm all for "fun" pranks at girls camp as long as no ones is hurt and especially as long as no ones feelings are hurt. The Ferndale 2nd ward had life size cardboard cut-out of Taylor Lautner and the girls from our ward along with the Everson ward thought it would be fun to kidnap Taylor. The girls even wrote a funny ransom note, hid him the next day under and had Bro. Dewey promise he didn't see a thing. It all went over very well.

More Girls Camp

Kyla and I decided to take a trip down to girls camp and then we were invited to stay for a night, it was fun even though it was just for 2 days.

Coolest fireworks ever!

Up in Vancouver every summer they do an amazing fireworks show, we have talked about going for the last couple years and finally got our act together and went. We took our friend Christie and her new baby and Kyla brought Mallory who she'll be rooming with this fall at BYU-I.

Crime scene???

Most Sunday afternoons people like to take naps at our house, some tend to find interesting places to sleep. This was the scene one day when I came into the family room around 4:30.

Busy busy summer

Mackenzie has been bugging me about I've been neglecting my blog so it's time to catch up on what we have been doing.

Newest toy or chick magnet???

Brendon came home with a new toy the other day along with his friend Justin. It's called a slack line. The line is very similar to the kinds that you use to strap stuff down like on a truck. When I heard what he paid for it I though why didn't he save a few bucks and buy those then we could get two uses for his dollar. Well he tired that and it's not the same.

The idea it to walk on your own power on this line that is secured between two trees. It's not as easy as it looks. Especially when Brendon was showing me what people do on the line on UTube. Crazy to say the least. The mother in me reminded Brendon(after seeing Utube) no jumping or flipping.

As you can see in the pictures I need A LOT of practice. I might have to get it out in my spare time when I have nothing else to do.

In the end Brendon admitting this new toy could have the possibilities of being a chick magnet. What a boy I have!

Lynden Parade

Lynden has a few parades during the year that comprise of mostly trackers, berry pickers and local businesses. This year our 4-H group that Jensen and Kaden are in decided to get in on the action. We brought 2 of our newest pigs and our 10 week old goat Hana. Thankfully the rain had stopped for at least one day!

Kyla's Graduation

Another graduation down....just 3 more to go. Kyla is headed off to BYU-I in the fall she received a scholarship that will pay for her tuition. Thankfully all her hard work at keeping her grades up paid off.
