Finally a warm weekend!

This past week was cold. Monday Jordan started her summer classes with Claytooning and Sculpture at the Fort Boise Community center. She loved them and we will take pictures of her completed projects when we bring them home. She rode downtown with me to work in the morning and kept up the whole 6 miles! We stopped for ice cream on our way home and a big storm rolled in. We were soaked with a warm summer rain by the time we arrived home. That storm front stayed for a couple of days and really cooled things off. It rained Tuesday and Wednesday and was actually very chilly!!
Wednesday we had the electrician in and are so happy to have the house updated as well as putting in new outdoor lights for the house!

We also mapped out where the firepit will go in the backyard and dug out a space to see what size it will be. Here is a good before picture of the "pit".

Friday brought hot weather and it has held on through the weekend. Saturday I held a Scentsy open house to help build my business.

It was fun but I'm still anxious about raising some contacts to get going on some networking. In the afternoon Jordan did some volunteering at a booth during a local festival in the park. Cobi and I wandered around the booths with the dogs, Ceecee was the talk of the day. We had some nice family time in the evening eating outside and playing aggravation on our homemade board. Today being Father's day Jordan and I made Cobi breakfast in bed. Then we got going slowly. A friend had offered a big space in their yard for a garden and we had to accept such a good offer. So after taking our time getting up for the day, we went to the plant nursery and chose our vegetables and herbs. We then spent a few hours tilling and planting a garden. Here are some before and after pictures of the space. We are very excited to have some fresh grown produce this summer and hopefully some okra for gumbo too!

After such a busy day we visited with my dad, Paul and then came home to rest and get ready for the week.
We hope everyone had a great Father's day. We love and miss you all!
