Sidewalk Chalk & Go-Carts!

For father's day weekend my Grandpa Earl invites his kids (and their families) to come stay at his place. Now... he has 11 children!! So it can be like a campground in his yard!! : ) I haven't been able to go in about 4 or 5 years so I was really excited to go this year! Part of the fun was 'tagging' their drive with our artwork...

riding 4-wheeler...

sitting on the dock watching Elly stick her hands in the water...

This is my little brother and his girlfriend... thought the picture was cute!

On Sunday we went to Jesse's parents house and his Dad was in the process of taking out their sidewalk... so he put his boys to work!

Jesse is on the yellow one

Jerry is on the blue

Their cousin Jason is off to the right along w/ his son Pike

The blonde Freys!!! : )

Jesse's Dad received a tree for father's day.

In true Frey fashion - digging a hole for the tree...

Yup, that big of a machine - for that tiny tree.

Jesse & Jerry squeezed into a go-cart!

Yes - you can even get a go-cart stuck!

Jesse and Pike are stuck on this dirt pile.

They did this about a 100 times!!

The interview on Friday went well, but we're not sure if it is the best match for our needs. We have another interview on Thursday and we both took Thursday & Friday off... because it is 3 hours from our place, but only 30 minutes from our parents. I needed any excuse for a few days away from work. ; )

Enjoy the rest of your week!!

Sunsets & Interviews

Monday night we saw the most amazing sunset!! I grabbed the camera quick and tried to capture it. I know the camera doesn't do it justice... but take a look at this!

Jesse also has 2 interviews within the next couple of weeks!! The one we are most excited about is this Friday night!! It is a dinner interview with the both of us! If you are thinking about us around 7pm central time... say a little pray that we are eating with our best manners and not saying anything off the wall! : )

Hello June!!!

Ah! We are finally getting into the summer months! I had a friend ask me yesterday if it was starting to get warm by us? This is what I told her "Friend! I finally took the flannel sheets off... TODAY!!" So yes it is starting to get warm over here in the 'frozen tundra'. I have been walking around with the burnt raccoon face look all last week... and I did it again today. Don't you know that is the new summer look?! Put a pair of your favorite sunglasses on and bake in the sunshine. LOL.

Not a whole lot has happened since my last post. I had a successful trip back to Oregon and hired a great secretary! So far she is everything I could have asked for and more!!

Being the person in charge of the interview - is so stressful! I love that my boss lets me do this, but man do I stress myself out. I feel like this time around I did a far better job of getting a feel for the person during the interview. Even though I am sure everyone is on their best behavior for interviews. I definitely have the odd interviewers. I had one gal practically beg me to hire her. She wouldn't leave! It was very awkward. I had 4 gals not even show up! Last time I only had one person not show up... but 4 this time! WOW! I have the nervous laughter interviewers. Those are extremely funny. I almost have a hard time not laughing with them. Why do they have to nervous laugh so loudly?!

Jesse is starting to apply for his post-doc. He has put in 2 applications... one within the prison system and one with a VA hospital. Now that Jesse has put a few applications out there we are both getting extremely excited to see where we will be going next. We have done this waiting process many times before so I should be good with it... but I am not. I just want to know already. : ) Time will tell.

I think that is everything for now. Sorry this one is short and no pictures.
Hope you all are enjoying your summer!!!
