Here's how our August went! Grandma Burrows was up working in our neck-of-the-woods, and we had family home evening in the pool. Love those grins!

I attempted canning pickled beans and . . . it was a success! The kids eat them like candy and for all the quarts we got, they may not last very long.

I got to go to Girls Camp this year!!!!!! WAHOOOO! I had so much fun (and missed my kiddos terrible like)! First stop for camp was Mesa Falls which had incredible views!

I only have a handful of pics from camp but more should be coming soon. This is of our group before going on a canoe adventure.

Scripture Compass course.....

Heading home all dirty and ready for a shower....

But did I get to go home? Nope! Off to one more night camping at the Cox Family Reunion.

Bela had been running around like mad and finally crashed for a nap, still holding onto her partially eaten sucker....

Not a bad looking crew, smelly maybe, but not bad looking :)

Bela loved going for a ride with Daddy! LJ borrowed Jared's bike and with Bela, rode out to the main road. Bela fell asleep part way through the ride, loving the bumpy road!

We have been so busy canning and cleaning at our house, so today we took a little break and went to the park and the pool. The kids are sleeping good tonight!

Last little update. LJ is officially starting Grad school on Monday, he's loving his new job working as an Engineer, and hopefully by this time next year....we'll be in a house! Super excited for what this school year may bring!
