House Progress Week 3

Footings in, gravel compacted and garage puddle soaked...all ready to pour the basement floor Monday

Photo Recapping

 The little girls like to come over for lunch...they watch for us to come home from work and they are in the driveway before we get out of the car...

 And they are goofy as ever...and Averina and Morg are twins!

 As I've been recovering from botox injections, Sam Jam gave me the special treatment; a foot massage and a manicure...while watching Duck Dynasty...the redneck coming out in me. Thanks Sam Jam! 

 While the rest of the ward members parked around the park the Bishop and his family members think they have reserved VIP parking to the ward party (courtesy of the City of Tetonia). In order from L to R: Matty's truck, Amie's Yukon, Dadio's truck, Mama Berry's Denali, and Susie Q's Yukon...in Idaho most people only drive big vehicles, I am obviously a bit out of place with the silver bullet. I probably shouldn't mention that the park is one block from our houses but we still drove...

 Also finding Averina in the tree often...

Dadio is constantly using his Mac products to entertain his little girls

Happy Birthday Aunt Karolyn!

 Yesterday we celebrated Aunt Karolyn's birthday a day early. We had oatmeal cake...delicious...complete with an awesome birthday song! Hopefully she felt the love. 

I tried and tried to catch Uncle Rich when he'd smile but to no avail...he'd smile for a second and then stop and then quickly smile and stop. Real funny Uncle Rich! Lacey Lou reminded him that studies show that people who smile for pictures live longer...just saying...

Family Flashbacks #2

 Mama Berry...clearly we know where Averina gets her cheese smile

Friday Morning Scenery

I'm loving biking in Tetonia...always amazed by the beauty. 

In other news, I'm Bay Area bound next Friday for MP's and Sammy P's wedding!!!

Berry Oil Golf Outing

After a stressful day, the Berrys of Berry Oil went golfing. Since I'm having botox injections on Friday afternoon I needed to hit the course badly this week since I'll be out of commission for a few weeks. It is always entertaining to golf with Dadio, Mama Berry, and Matty. 

This was a common occurrence throughout the round...Dadio (and Matty) looking for their golf balls in the rough.

This was also a common occurrence...my golf ball being in the middle of the fairway. (You might need to click on the picture to see the ball (it is the white dot in the middle). 

 And the other two yayhoos...and Matty is even smiling.

In Idaho The Temples Glow...

It might be because of the Idaho sunshine...

House Progress Week 2

 I'm hopeful that after this stressful week re: the house building that things will go smoother...I hope.

Mama Berry thought we should take one with me with my house to be

Reverting Back To A Beehive

Mama Berry is in charge of the Beehives in her ward (young women 12 and 13 yrs olds) and tonight I joined them for "mutual" (weekly youth activity). As you can see from Mama Berry the activity was biking!

And this is the view the whole bike ride...Zion folks, Zion. 

Jess Berry Quote of The Day!

Don't worry about what you can change because you can change it and don't worry about what you can't change because you can't change it.
