Among the summer story lines I think the new house was the most exciting. We went through a stretch where we couldn't sneak in and watch the progress so we took a lot of pictures like this.
The smoke meant that the kids had to spend too much time inside. They adjusted well with drawing and video games but DeAndra still had her moments.
We adopted a little kitty named Rafael. He was going to be a garage kitty and our mouser, but the very first night he ended up here:
He's not really a garage kitty.
He gets lots and lots of love, sometimes maybe a little too much love.
Despite the rough love he still loves cuddling with them when they are asleep and less dangerous.
Rock is warming up for deer season by spotting game from his seat in the car. "DEER! Not shooters, not shooters!"
Ryker loves his Rafi.
Life is pretty tough around here.
Mama Zista flew up to help pack the house for the upcoming move. After working hard they took a break to visit the Stehekin Bakery with Papa Dale in Whirly.
Jensley knew what she wanted and Mama Zista delivered.
Papa Dale showed them around the valley and the fishes.
You can tell that she's a little lower on energy after all that fun.
This is a pic from Ryker while he was playing with Mama Zista.
More Rafi pics.
There was a lot of this during the summer because of the smoke.
Ruido and Irma's daughter, Celeste, had a birthday party with a princess dress and pinata.
The pinata had spikes on it that Jens and Ryker (background) used as party hats.
Celeste was a cute little Elsa.
The boys were willing to put up with the princess stuff as long as they got the promised cake at the end.
With school starting the kids received blessings and Jens wanted to do her part.
They ended the summer in pretty good shape. They deserved all the fun and good things that came their way
