number six!

our evening was extra wonderful because we had special guests who are in town visiting this week. they included the granums and the farnsworth’s! it was so great to have these friends here for an entire evening. we only wish we always had more time with you.

scotty told me tonight, “jane, you have an awesome backyard.” and in reply i reminded him… “i love our backyard, but having our backyard packed full of incredible friends is what we really love.”

thank you to everyone who visits our home. some of you spend more than two hours driving time to get here…we really appreciate that you take time out of your busy schedules to pack up your families,

we managed to have three volleyball nights this week.

three!

love summer.
love friends.
love good food.
love volleyball.

life is good.

tonight was adults-only; no kids. except my little sickies of course 😉

first big story of the night?

Gordy SAVED me when i was trying to get my grill lit, he came over to help and just about six inches in front of me as i was right over his shoulder, we had a HUGE gas – fire flame! i’m saying, HUGE! Gordy singed his hair. eyebrows. eyelashes. and gotee. yep, he saved me! the picture below does not do justice to how singed he was…

we are making up for lost time…
for most of June and July it was raining or we were traveling.
