A broken window

So the other night Rus noticed that this had happened to our window. Needless to say we were not very happy. We have no idea how it happned. Neither of the kids admit to doing it. So we are stuck. Deductible is $500 on home owners and were quoted around $450 to get it fixed. I am over it now, but was very stressed at the moment.

4th of july weekend

Thursday night we went to St. George to go to Great Uncle Boyd's viewing. He is Rustin's great uncle. Annalynn was very curious about the body and why it looked so different. We explained about the spirit leaving the body when we die and going to heaven. I am not sure that she understood.

Friday while checking a story on KSL.com my computer crashed. Luckily we were able to get the virus removed and everything saved within a week. I was very stressed cause all of my pictures are saved on our computer. We will be investing in a external hard drive very soon.

Well it is another July. This 4th found us camping. It was hotter than hot. Very miserable. Rustin's siter Tonia was here and went camping with us. We left on Friday, Rustin had to work late, but grandma Barlow and Tonia took the kids with them. I just waited for Rus to get home. He heard from a co-worker that he had won the monthly prize at Brackens from a facebook contest, but had to verify. Since the computer was not working he had to check it via the Wii. After the sun went down our trailer finally cooled off. All the windows were open. I had to get up in the night to shut them, but so greatful that it cooled off. I don't sleep well with heat.

Saturday was spent in the shade, to hot otherwise. Much moving of the chairs was seen. Rus and I did some target practice. We have purchased some life size deer targets. We borrowed our brothers range finder. I practiced at 200 yards for the deer hunt. It was pretty windy and I couldn't kneel down since it was very rocky. I did get one really good shot though. Our intention is to continue to practice. We also went to the creek and let the kids play in the sand. They had a blast. Just enough water for them to have fun, but not be very deep.

On Sunday night the kids started a game of riding the dump truck down the hill. Boy were they laughing like crazy. It was so fun watching them ride down the hill. Only a couple of spills occured.

Monday morning we packed up and came home. Here are a few pics. I forgot the camera when we went to the creek. To bad, there were some good times had by all there.

Taking an afternoon nap.

Monday afternoon we went to St. George did some shopping. Priced out our new bay window. Lowes had 18 months same as cash. We decided to go with them. Then we had a BBQ with my parents. We watched the firework show on TV not the same as the real thing, but St. George's show didn't start until 10 PM. We would have been home really late.
