Rewind Back to August

August was a busy month of unexpected turns.  Ben got news that he was to be transferred to Montana.  He went to work while we went to packing.  Thanks for all the family help.  We packed up  the house and cleaned.  My sister, Mary, helped us load our stuff and we went to stay at her house for a couple of day. She lives south of Denver in Canon City.  The kids had a fun time playing together.

From her house we left for Star Valley, Wyoming.  All my brothers and sisters gathered for a family reunion.  Nicolina and Scott were in charge this year. They created a strict itinerary. We didn't follow it to the T but it was so nice to have.  We played minute to win it, had great food.  Devotionals and talents.  We also had a ping pong tournament and a hike. It was fun to see everyone.  All of our family is growing up and getting big.

Great Grandpa and Grandpa.

From the reunion we went to Chrystal's house and played and relaxed.

Ben came an picked us up and  we all went to Helena. We stayed at a motel and the kids were recovering from sickness. Grandma and Papa came down and picked us up and we spent four day at their house. We went swimming, got to go to the cabin, and ate great food. We also celebrated Eli's birthday while we were there.
