This is not how you want your day to go

You wouldn't know it but these boys just went through a car accident





It happened in an intersection and sadly it was my falt. There was someone selling "wolf" puppeis on the corner and it got me distracted for a split second and I was in the turning lane and pulled too far into the interesection without yielding. A car hit us going about 35 MPH and deployed his airbag and banged up the front corner of his vehicle. It pushed the truck pretty good and jammed everything up. I had to push and pry at the driver door to open it up to get out. It ended badly but we were all blessed to be just fine. Even the other driver. The boys were taken by the stinker station ladies and got free bug juices while i sorted things out for the report. I feel incredibly stupid and shocked that I let something like that happen but I am so grateful that we were all ok. The Lord blesses us and watches out for us even when we mess up and make mistakes.

Things I am looking forward to this Summer

Watching my Brother Rich in the Iron Man this Saturday in Boise... Go Rich Go!!;



My Mom, me and my boys will be going to the Oregon Coast and going and seeing her brother in Vancouver, WA;


I will be going to Texas to visit Joseph again YEAH!!!;

Go spend some much needed time in Donnelly and camp out and enjoy being home there and soak it all up;

Going camping in central Idaho mountains and do a few trips with backpacking and trail riding with my boys;

Going to go to California to visit my dad's sister with my parents and my boys and to meet up with Clint in Yosemite National Park and explore and go hiking;

Learn the German language the best that I can.....I am going to need a lot of luck with that!!;

Going berry picking and fruit picking :) Yum Yum!!

We figured out that Gideon will be 8 years old and Bridger will be 6 years old when they will be here for another summer in Idaho. Crazy huh!! Unless we are able to come and visit.....We shall see :)
If anyone wants to go camping with me this summer let me know. I am hoping to go as often as I can as long as the weather is good. :)

Crazy waether pictures

Wow, what a week in weather. Weather is always on my mind and when there is some crazy weather around us I like to pay attention. I love looking at my friend, Josh Davis' pictures on facebook of the flash flooding, the rivers, the microburst at Tamarack, and all of the above. I am really anxious to come and see it all myself too. Now Everything below McCall is totally flooding. Amazing what a few inches of rain can do. Enjoy the pictures!~

Those of you who are familiar with Emmetts Dam know that it doesn't usually look like this (pic. from KTVB.com)

The Funnell cloud in Boise that caused some damage (pic. from KTVB.com)

The pretty falls on little salmon....They are a bit bigger


Where my husband went haying last summer in New meadows.....not much hay this year...Little salmon river is looking more like a lake

Lake Fork cr. near Scheline rd. and Hwy 55. That is a lot of water!

Gold fork div. Dam If you can remember family we all have been here and it was alot smaller then

A bridge on upper lake fork cr. It is suprising it is still there. You can see the water was flowing over it and the huge log jam on just the other side... CRAZY!

What used to be Browns pond is no more. The dam washed out. We took the boys fishing here last year for free fishing day. It loks a lot different now.

What is left of the dam

Micro burst at Tamarack
