I took a class on mining with my mother in-law, sister in-law, and brother in-law last week. To get your licence renewed as a teacher you have to have a certain amount of credits every 5 years. This class gave us some, and it was lots of fun! This picture is us on a tour of a talc mine by Ennis. Don't we look cool with our hard hats!

I talked to my Mom last night, and they think that her problem is an infection in her gums. So, it sounds like everything will be ok once she gets the infection taken care of. Thanks for praying!

I just got a disturbing phone call from my Dad. It seems that my Mom is having major tooth trouble. She had so much pain last night they had to go to the emergency room. She is going to see an Oral surgeon today. Please pray for her, that this Surgeon will be able to fix the problem with her tooth, it is her lower right molar, and that she will be able to keep her tooth. Thanks

It has been very hot here, so the thing to do is go floating on the river. Jen, Kennetta and I went last week and had much watery fun. 

Almost all the Coke was gone after the eruption. 

Jason learned a fun new trick. If you take a bottle of diet Coke and stuff if full of regular Mentos as fast as you can, you get your own miniture Old Faithful. It shoots way up high! It went so fast I didn't get a picture of it, but if you are bored, it is a fun time. Just remember to back up.

Jason and I went for a fun hike this fourth of July weekend. We have been busy lately. Jason had his 10 year high school reunion a couple of weeks ago. It was ..... interesting. There are some odd people that graduated from small town Manhattan Montana. We did have a good time though. We are looking forward to going to California to visit Jason's sister and brother-in-law in two weeks. Summer is flying by!
