So this summer the girls have been doing lots of reading and cooking. This jello dessert with strawberries and whipped cream is one of their creations.

 

 

The boys have been working alot trying to get all the money to pay off their grad trip and Frank wants to pay off his drama trip to London also and Jake is working on getting himself a nice set of knives, he has just finished filling out all the paperwork for the apprenticeship and he is pretty excited.

Rob has been working hard and I have been working around the yard and doing some painting at the church.

Emily and I are really excited about going camping next week, the boys have to work, so they will be staying home. Rob is going to come out on the weekend to join us, so the boys are happy to have the house to themselves for the weekend.

Other than that not much going on besides getting stuff read for mom to come out and school to start. We are waiting on some quotes for our bathroom and are hoping it can get down real soon.
