Saying Goodbye to a good friend, for now.

 

 

 

 

Last week, one of Dennis' good friends succumbed to a rare form of cancer. Bill Mendenhall fought the good fight for nearly four years. Bill was an incredible man, fiercely loyal, served others his entire life with passion and enthusiasm, made everything fun and loved his family and friends with his whole heart! He will be greatly missed. If you are interest, there is an article about him in the Church News-August 30th edition

Dirty Fingernails!

After literally working 7 days a week this summer trying to keep my yard up, and constantly having dirty fingernails, dry frizzy hair, and an achy-breaky back, a city water pipe broke underneath our driveway. Dennis thought, great, the city will have to replace our already crumbling driveway, but no, they tore up our yard instead, digging about 8 feet down and 8 feet in circumfrence on either side of our driveway! Oh bother!

Getting Ready for Baby Peters!

Last night we, and by we I mean, Kim, Tiffany, Tara, Tristen and myself gave Sara a Baby Shower! I had every intention of getting everyone's photo, but as I am easily side-tracked, I only shot about half of the people who came, sorry Sara! We had a blast, and mother nature cooperated. The weather was perfect! Tristen was in charge of the scrumptous desserts provided by all of us. Tiffany provided fun and unique games for us. With the help of Kim and Tara, (not to mention Grandpa Dennis) we pulled it off! Sara and Treavor are feeling very ready to welcome their baby into the world. We all know they will be the most extraordianary parents!!!
Other than a wasp attacking me, stinging me twice in the eye, just about an hour before the party all went pretty well!
