August

Bailey and I went to Oregon for a couple of weeks in August to spend some time with my family. My sister Rishelle flew up from Houston with her kids and we had lots of fun riding horses, freezing corn, learning to moon walk, and cleaning out my parents basement - in which we discovered several exciting treasures including $150 hiding in old Birthday cards, purple leg warmers, our high school jeans - which unfortunately looked similar to "mom jeans" sporting 9 inch zippers, very large hips, and tapered legs - a strange note written by my sister telling us that "we will be better off without her and to take good care of her things" that she has no recollection of writing, and my old baseball card collection complete with Nolan Ryan's Rookie Card.

When Rishelle's husband flew in from Houston we all headed back to Rexburg and hung out for a few days. We went boating a couple times, celebrated Myles birthday, and watched The Office - except for John who said "this is gay" and went to bed. I suffered from a small case of Vacation Letdown Syndrome after they left, but have since recovered.

Poor kid...... her hair matches her life jacket.

Myles won the Big Air Competition.
And Lisa came in a close second.

I won the Most Attractive Picture Competition.

And John came in a close second.

Nice pearly whites.

And nice pearly whites.

Bailey thought the tube was pretty fun.
