Badger Mtn Fire

A fire broke out on in East Wenatchee on Badger Mountain on July 8th. We were able to see it from our back porch and captured a few pictures. We zoomed the camera in quite a bit, so don't panic and think the fire was as close as it appears.

Going to Camp

Tomorrow afternoon, Demaris leaves for a week to attend church camp for the first time. I am super excited for her and can't wait to hear her stories when she returns. I am strangely worried because she will be three hours from home and this is the first time she has been away from family for a long time. I know she will do fine. I am just having a "mom moment".

Her sisters, on the other hand, can hardly wait for her to be gone.

Update on stuff

Well, I know there has been another lapse in blogging. I wish I had a really good reason. It is just that I don't have too much going on to report.

The job hunt continues. I have had many interviews, but always get the dreaded 'thin letter of rejection'. It is hard to not take it personal sometimes. I know the right job will come along and I just have to be patient.

The girls are enjoying summer break. Carissa's break officially started July 4th due to a culinary arts class she was taking. The last day of class, she cut her finger. She called to say she needed me to come get her because she "kinda cut herself". The "kinda" meant she cut off a thin section of her skin. A trip to the emergency department and two stitches later, she is doing great.

Our two new kittens, Delilah and Tudball, are having minor surgery today. They are being spayed and neutered. Sherbie, the big cat, seems to be enjoying having "his" house again. He will have a rude awakening tomorrow morning when they return.

I will be posting a few pictures after I download them off the camera.

Oh, today is an exciting day! We got to do the first mow on the grass. It is still patchy and will be having areas re-seeded this weekend by the hydroseed guy, but it looks great. Aynslee was super excited to get a mowing lesson. Carissa isn't strong enough to push it up the small incline, but she tried.

Well, have a great day. I am going to enjoy the beautiful sunny day here in Wenatchee.
