Since I last wrote, we had our 1st anniversary, my 21st birthday, we were "dam volunteers" for the Teton Dam Marathon, we got called to teach Gospel doctrine in our ward . . . but have yet to be asked to teach the lesson. . . and went out to the Oregon Coast to spend the 4th of July with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, siblings, in-laws, and who knows who else! Chad and Amber made me a cake and brought the kids to come play for my birthday. Nick and Christine came to play for a bit as well. I still give Nick a hard time because he came and played and ate cake not even realizing that it was my birthday until the next day! He felt really bad, and like a dope! It just made me laugh. . . he is definitely a Bare! Mom wasn't much better though. I talked to her the next Sunday and she told me that she had just flipped he calendar to June and noticed my birthday had passed. . . it was almost halfway through the month! Good thing I was busy all day and didn't have time to sit around waiting for all the birthday wishes! I think I learned from all the birthday pool parties that wouldn't happen until July or even August! But I can only imagine how 10 birthday parties a year might get a little crazy! Here is a video of Will and Eddie and their balloon fight! I am sure that the people who live below us appreciated the festivities!
Nothing else too wild and crazy has happened except for the time out on the coast. . . we really do know how to stay up late and bust a gut. . . or as Dad says it, "gust a butt." sorry Dad, Love you!
It was a quick vacation and a long drive, but it was much needed and appreciated for my own sanity! Ben, Elizabeth, David and I all carpooled out to Tillamook. We went to the sand dunes and got nearly everyone to climb the dune! Grandpa Bob even beat Mom and Dad up. . . he said he couldn't wait any longer for them to catch up, so he had to go up with out them!

We played a good game of beach volleyball, and lots of big group games with the cousins. Of course we ate lots of Tillamook Ice cream! I was able to eat a scoop of bubble gum, cookie dough, and a new favorite, Wild Mountain Blackberry! OOOOOHHHH I can never get enough! We celebrated Matt's 19th birthday with the crowd, but I think we forgot about the birthday kisses/spankings!
Most of all we couldn't forget to play the Farming Game!
Most of all we couldn't forget to play the Farming Game!Rockaway beach was a little different this year because we are all grown up and we don't get to dig for the money in the sand pit, or do the crab walk race. We are all getting too grown up for those races! Sad day! I guess we better get going on the little kiddos so we have someone to watch and coach for the races!
The fireworks seemed to get a little lost in the clouds, so those weren't as fantastic as they usually are, but we were digging into the s'mores for sure! I think Matt ate at least 5 in one sitting! David was proud of the one I made for him. He even said he could taste the love. . . can't forget that ingredient!
So we loved the vacation, and can't wait until Nick's wedding when we get to go home for a while and maybe go on a camping trip with the family.
So school is about over for the semester which means. . . only 2 1/2 weeks until David will be a COLLEGE GRADUATE!! He is way excited to be done! Not too excited to take his CPA exams, but we think that he will be able to finish those in the next 5 months before I graduate in December. He really can't make up his mind about what he wants to do yet. He is debating plenty of options and of course they all have their pros and cons. He is going to do at least on of the following: work as an accountant at a firm, go to grad school, start his own business (there are about four ideas for those), or work wherever he can if nothing else works. so who knows what he will decide. It changes about every other day!
We do know that we will be moving to Boise, ID in January. We figure any of his options can happen there, and that is where I have designated my first option for student teaching. So we are excited to see what happens there in Boise for David!
