Idaho

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to the Jeppsens!  Jay Brent Jeppsen was born at 1:51pm today and was 7lbs 6oz and 20.75 inches long!  Jen and Jay are both doing well and Jap sounded excited when he called!  She did it in only 3 pushes, so just try to top that one moms!  :)  We're so excited to have another nephew and can't wait to meet him!

    So we're home now for another visit and enjoying our families and friends as always, but unfortunately we've been stricken by the pukes!  We went out on Hayden with the Poteets yesterday and Georgey got the pukes last night, only to have the rest of his family start in, and then Bob started this morning!  So far I've survived unscathed, but we'll see how today and tomorrow go... just trying to take care of the sickos without catching it today!  Having fun making cards and scrapping with Carolyn while she finishes things up for the fair too.  

   So we drove out after work Friday and I drove most of the way for a change since Bob had ben up since 4 for his huge job out in Ocean Shores (nearly 2 hours away from home) but the drive went fast because we chatted then I listened to my Breaking Dawn while I drove.... I finished it a few nights ago and it was GREAT!  Such an awesome ending.... definitely recommend that series to anyone!  I know it seems silly to read a series about werewolves and vampires, and I was skeptical at first too, but these books really sucked me in....

   So anyway, we had a great time at my Grandma and Great Aunt's 80th birthday party on Satuday and loved seeing a ton of my family that we haven't seen in forever, so that was great, and decided we'll have an anniversary later.... maybe Labor Day weekend we'll do something fun since we were busy with other stuff on our big day--6 years has sure gone fast!  I'm definitely lucky to have such a great Bob!

   Sunday we had a big BBQ here at Bob's folk's house with both of our families and the Poteets and that was a good time as always!  The kids had fun exploring the garden and swinging and we all got to chat and catch up and enjoy the weather... we had s'mores afterwards that were delicious!  

    We had big plans for floating the river today, but no such luck since Bob's under the weather... likely not biking the Hiawatha tomorrow either.... We had great fun boating with the Poteets and then the Pearsons yesterday though, so at least we got to enjoy some good times with friends... hopefully the Pearsons are still well and not contaminated with whatever's getting the rest of us?  

   Have a great day and all of you should be grateful for your health today!  Eat a little extra something yummy for my Bob. :)
