Kris & Hailey: July 2009

A little Dip in the Lake!

My Nanna and I went for a nice morning walk and were so hot that we decided to take a nice refreshing swim in their lake. It was so great! I love diving from the rock into the lake and feeling the changing water temperatures. It was like I was swiming in a sea of glass-I was the only one out there at first and the world could have stopped and I would have gone in peace! There is something about water and nature that just captures my attention and I am no where else but there! Greatful for this special moment and memories with my Nanna & Bella. Bella showed me her swimming skills as I threw the ball. Nanna held onto her tail and pulled her back to shore. Unforgettable!

Sisterhood!!

Lisa V. is now 16yrs. old and drove her car up to Pocatello from Blackfoot for the first time!! We had a fun "Girls Day" Tai Food in Lava. So greatful for a sister like her!

This little party turned into a family reunion. Kris's Neice and Nephews from Columbia are here for the summer. His brothers kids from New Mexico also joined us! It was a grand time together!

Miss you Friend!

Kris sailed off into the morning sky decorated with cotton candy clouds at 6:30 Sunday. He will be in Fort Lewis, Washington for one month for an ROTC leadership training. Saying goodbye is getting old. But the reunions make up for it!! June 21st.
