| Gib's class read the book, Flat Stanley, about a boy who gets smashed flat and goes on an adventure in the mail. Each person in his class drew their own flat person. Gib named his Flat Bob and sent him to visit Sarah, Joe and Zina. Sarah took photos of Flat Bob and mailed him back. Gib made a poster of Flat Bob's adventures. Thanks, Sarah and Zina, for helping Gib with this fun assignment. |

| Helen got a Ramtastic award on Friday. Each trimester, each teacher chooses two students who show consistent good behavior to recognize with this award. |

| We made a super quick trip to Idaho this week to attend the funeral for Brandan's Aunt Joyce. Despite the last minute schedule changes, he felt it was important to support his mom and her siblings. |
 |
| We attended memorial services in Heyburn then drove to the nearby Paul Cemetery. We were impressed that all the other cars on the road pulled over as the funeral procession passed. |
 |
| Our kids were happy to see their cousins, Dallin and Emma. |
 |
| Sofi says her favorite landscape is sagebrush. Becky think she only says that to be contrary. Sofi certainly got to see plenty of sagebrush this week. |
 |
| We left home at 1:30 pm on Wednesday and returned at 12:30 am on Thursday, spending 24 of those hours in the car. Luckily all of our kids are good travelers. Give them a book (or a book on CD for Gib) and some snacks and they're happy. |

I have seen Flat Stanley visit other people, and wonder if we are ever going to have him as a house guest. Have all your kids sent him off?
Glad you got to make a trip to Idaho - and that Sofi could actually enjoy all that sage brush.
I just read your posts from here to the present. Reading your blog makes me miss Oregon so much. I love hiking but would have to travel quite far to find hikes here. And, unlike Sofi, I am not a fan of sagebrush. I wish we still lived there so you could show me all those wonderful hikes. Why did we ever leave?
I love your list for the summer. I am impressed with your strawberries. That quilt was just beautiful and you painted such a lovely picture with your description of the little girl someday finding the hidden pictures.
I hope you come visit us again on one of your trips to Idaho.
