What Aurora Zirker's do for fun...

Kevin celebrated his 35th bday!  Thanks to those who called and wished him well!  He requested Spudnuts.  Why does boiling oil in the middle of summer not sound fun to me?  We cranked the AC just to make it tolerable.  They were quite delish though.  Wish we could have shared them--he took them to work the next day and shared with the crew.

We have spent much of the summer in the water.  This particular time we went to a play date with friends from church up to Stapleton, about half hour away.  (The distances we drive for free fun huh?)  It had this cool rock fountain that they could climb on and play in.  It was a perfect sun-shiney day to enjoy the cool water.

Braxton in a water fight with someone on top of the fountain.  I liked it because I caught his water flying through the air.  He and Kanyon are good sports to go to these play dates because usually the oldest kid is 5! 

Kids go back to school tomorrow and we're half excited half sad that summer is over.  But on to new adventures, we have band, soccer, scouts, and I get 4 hours to myself EVERY morning.  Not that I'm too excited or anything.  Now, to fill it up with some productive...

Not Much New

Not much new this week.  Mom and I spent Thursday in Pilot Rock, Oregon inventorying the addition we did to the meetinghouse there in 2007.  Yes, I am a little late (5 years) but we got it done.  My mechanic Joe, helped us.

"F" street is still a mess.  They started grading it Friday so it may get closer to completion this week.  Mom went over to Model Home Furnishings in Pullman and picked up the new chair we ordered a couple of weeks ago.  We put it in the living room in place of the old rocker.

Monday afternoon we are going up to Laird Park to have dinner with Matt, Kimbre, and Riley.  They are camping and we are just spending the evening.  Lacey and boys are going with us.

I'm still working on the Family Reunion Blog.  Be patient.

Something to think about...

U of I plays BYU on November 10th and we're headed down to game.  We'll be making a mini vacation out of it and are hoping to visit with some of the aunts/uncles/cousins down there.  If anyone is bored and would like to drive out to Provo for the game, I'm thinking Seth could get you sideline passes...You might have to wear your BYU gear underneath your U of I gear though...
