Summers Here

In the last week since school's been out out we have had a great time. Sam had his seventh Birthday, complete with a party and all. We've been fishing and to grandma and papa's house and seen a cousin or two. It's been great! I think this summer has been one of the best in a long while. My garden is finally growing and now if I can just figure out how to get the flowers to grow my back yard will look really goood. I have a few projects planned for this summer, hopefully I can get a few of them completed. Here are a few pictures of the boy having in fun in the sun at sam's B-day party.

These are a few of the flowers on the bushes in our back yard this spring.

Family

It has been about 2 and 1/2 months since my uncle wayne died from complications due to his diabetes. He was a good man and an inspriation to many in out family and community. I think he had every kind of complication known to man that has to do with diabetes. He lost his eye sight, his kidneys failed and he had a kidney transplant, loss of feeling in his hands and feet, he was on dialysis for many years (about 10). He suffered heart attacks and high blood pressure. He died this past winter in March, his funeral was in the middle of a very bad snowstorm in Parker ID. I don't think I had seen snow like that in many years. My car while staying in Ashton over night at my brothers was completely covered by the next morning and it took a couple of hours to dig it out. Anyway, the reason I am writing about this now is because my aunt died this saturday it was very unexpected, but she died in her sleep in her home. I was shock to say the least, she was a wonderful person, I never once saw her get mad at anyone. She was wonderful and always called me Camilly and was genuinely intersted in knowing how I was, she will be missed, I love her dearly.
