Their was a tragic and freak accident in Kuna last week. A family driving out by the dam had a 250 pound rock (I would call it a boulder) fall on their car. It killed the 6 year old in the back seat. It makes you appreciate your own children a lot more when you hear about the death of someone else's child. This family did everything right, and yet this tragedy still occurred. I have tried to imagine what they must be feeling, but I can't. The older daughter was admitted to the hospital a day or two later with ecoli. She was in intensive care for 2 days and is now out of ICU, but has not been released from the hospital. The funeral is tomorrow with a reception to follow at Kuna High School.

Enough tragedy. Our trip to Colorado was good, it was too short, but we crammed a lot in to a short amount of time. It was great to visit with family and friends. I did not make it to Aunt Nancy's burial on Friday as I picked up some sort of stomach bug and slept all day (okay, in between trips to the bathroom). The memorial service/BBQ on Saturday was really nice. The weather was warm and sunny and a lot of George and Nancy's friends and family came. Towards the end of the time we all sat and told our favorite Aunt Nancy and/or Uncle George stories. My favorite Uncle George memory was my first Thanksgiving in the Negomir family--I made homeade pumpkin pies, he took one bite and said they would keep me. Good thing they tasted good, I would've hated to have to leave. Sunday morning we woke up to 3 inches of snow!! Amelia had snow on her birthday...I am sure that this will never happen again. Pueblo was hot and dry. On Tuesday when we left it was 98 degrees 6 hours later in Rock Springs, Wyoming (my favorite place), it was 38 degrees and raining. I was so glad to get home, and I am finally getting over the sinus/cold thing I came home with.

Father's Day was a very pleasant day. The weather was great and we bbq'd with Jim's parents, my parents and some friends of Jim's parents. Of course we ate until we couldn't eat any more! imagine that.

Looking forward to summer vacation now that all the kids are on summer break...well except for Zach who decided to take Algebra I this summer so he can take geometry in the 8th grade. He goes to school from 8-1145 Monday thru Friday, but Jim drops him off and he takes the bus home.

Went to the curves in Kuna for a 30 days for $30 promotion. Very Clean and well run establishment. The first day my legs were so sore..I didn't expect my legs to be sore but ouch!! I thought my pansy arms would hurt the most.

Later!!
