Well our life has slowed down a lot. Which in some ways is so good and in others you are ready for something new and different. Our news this week is that Isabelle lost her very first tooth. She was so scared. She worried about this and stressed over this tooth for 2 whole days. It just dangled there forever. Ben tried to pull it and then we tried to pull it out with Jarrett's remote Viper. Thought for sure that would work and then the string broke, so Ben grabbed the string and yanked it out. For all the crying she did before the tooth didn't hurt a bit coming out. She tells us everyday how glad she is that she doesn't have to worry about her tooth anymore. Then today Tremonton burned the senior center down. It used to be McKinley Elementary. It was a controlled burn. The building was damaged in an earthquake earlier this year and they were going to tear it down, but decided it would be good practice for surrounding fire stations. I believe Tremonton, Garland and Brigham City fire departments were all there. The flames were so high we saw them from our deck at our house. We did drive over to get some pictures. The funny thing to me was the people there with their lawn chairs ready to camp out all day to watch the building burn. Small towns!! Gotta love em. That is a week in the life of our family.

Sunflowers

Ben's cousin Bobbie called us Saturday and wanted to steal Isabelle for awhile so she could take pictures of her by sunflowers. I jumped at the chance, because I have some pretty awesome pictures of McGregor that she took. It was rainy off and on all day Saturday, but they were able to squeeze some pretty good pictures in. Isabelle had fun and then she got to go back to Bobbie's and watch a movie. Here are a few of our favorites.
