July is about to end and we've been busy!  Bryan helped his dad re-roofing his house....  While they were roofing, Isla and Cayden and I went on a walk to the park  while Kari finished packing for their vacation!  On the way, I asked Isla to translate Cayden's babbling. The only word she could decipher was, "Happy, happy, happy..."  We took a few of our college students with us up to Portland  to visit Daryl and Ryan  (who both just graduated from OSU).  We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings and tried out a new, weird ice cream parlor, Salt Straw.   And....my cousin, Blake, got married!  I now have another cousin named Lindsay Adamson!  Blake's bride (Lindsay Blackman) and sister (Lindsay Adamson)'s names  are only different now in their middle names!  My brothers just can't smile for a picture without making some weird face. They look like twins!    Blake accidentally ripped her dress when he lifted her up! Oops!  Blak

We made an awesome discovery this summer....we got a fire pit and (when the sun went down) we projected "Thor" onto the side of our house.  I think the whole city could see it over our fence, but it was awesome!  Although the heat from the fire pit left a large brown circle of dead grass in the middle of my back yard. But it was worth it!   On a different note, our friend, Andy, offered to take family pictures for us, which was so fun.   We met and had dinner with Andy and his family at their house and then went to the park to take pics.  Didn't he do a great job?  Last Sunday, Cayden and I skipped church and went to my Ullman/Elliott family reunion in Dallas.  Cayden got to play with her 3rd cousin, Jamin.  My cousin's husband and son.  We went to Butterfly Falls...  Here are three of my cousins (above: James and Evan), (below: JJ and Evan).  Below, my mom and Cayden splashing in the water...it was hot!  My uncle a
