So much to write about, so little time. This is a snippet of what we have been up to for the last month or so. I tried to upload Bryan's Father's Day video, but there was an error...so I guess these photos will have to do. We have experienced many fun adventures since Egypt (which we still haven't written about). Below is a sampling of some of our fun! Not pictured is our new vehicle, which we love already and will have many more adventures in...other than that...this is our life since we last wrote:
Tori's 1st real swimming excursion. She rather enjoyed the event. Luckily the water was relatively warm and she had her magic floatie and her dada to make it fun!
Tori and I sharing a fruit and yogurt smoothie. I have to drink fast if I want to even have any - Tori LOVES these drinks!
A little hike to Stewart Falls - good easy hike, but my "condition" makes me short of breath, so anyone passing by might think I was about to die :)
Tori LOVES her bedroom wall that her grandma painted for her when we moved in to the house. I've caught her trying to catch the bees on the wall and trying to pick the flowers :) She's a lil' cutie pie.
At the beginning of July, we had a Harris Family Farm party in Malad, ID. The farm was celebrating 140 years of farming! We stayed most of the day and caught up with family and walked around the farm where we spent many summer days as kids. In order to be part of the celebration, I volunteered to make homemade rolls. When my great-grandma was alive, NO ONE left the farm without a hot loaf of bread, rice pudding, or something in their tummies. I thought it would be fun. The party was Friday and I was contacted Tuesday about the number of rolls needed...400! WOW...a lot of rolls, but I could make them before work and after work - double batches. Mom gave me a new recipe and it wouldn't take much time for each batch...or so I thought...until I realized that my mixer was unable to hold a double batch and I received another call the next day raising the number from 400 to 600...Needless to say, I made somewhere near 550, and luckily, we didn't run out. Bryan was a little miffed that I was making so many rolls, but afterwards said that it all turned out well. I was grateful to be a part of the celebration! Our family photo (above) is from the festivities. Tori's first pony ride.
Tori in all her diaper glory forgetting to look at Old Faithful. I'm sure it's because I called her name so I could take a photo of her lil' face.
The whole Francis gang met up at Bryan's family's cabin in Island Park (outside of W. Yellowstone) for a reunion. Things went a lot smoother than I had thought, since there were 17 of us hooligans in the same area. Most people can only handle a little Francis at a time - I hope we didn't overwhelm the Park. The reunion hats, mugs and bags were a suprise from my uncle Vern! A lot of time and energy went in to those!! Thanks Vern.
Bryan & Tori feeding the "ducks" in Idaho, a much needed break for Tori after all the traveling in Yellowstone! She screams every time we try and put her in her car seat now.
