Time at the Cabin

I have a co-worker that owns a cabin on the Pond Oreille and he said we could go up there and use it whenever they weren't so we did. We went swimming, canoeing, fishing...

Driving back from Utah we found a small tourist town called Deer Park. They had a bunch of historical museums one being a old car museum and an old jail. We had a lot of fun picking out our favorite cars. In the jail, I read out loud the self guided tour, it was realy interesting seeing how the prisioners lived.

David and Loralee's wedding

David and Loralee's wedding they tied the knot. We are so excited that Loralee and David got married. It was a really fun seeing them get married and enjoying the family. I had the privilege of staying with the bride to be before the wedding for a couple of nights while Joe stayed with his brother and dad at a hotel. Loralee and I had a good time as we talked about her coming events. The first night I got there she pulled out her dress and said the seamstress (her friend) had her dress for weeks trying to find time to alter it for Loralee, but just in the end ran out of time so she gave her dress to another seamstress that to her knowledge was a professional, but with all the bead work and such that was on the dress the seamstress really did not do a good job. So two days before the wedding we were in Loralee's room wondering what we could do with this dress that just hung on her body. We pulled out a few safety pins and hid the pins under her white jacket that she planned to wear at the wedding. We were able to form the dress better to her body and it looked ten times better and showed off her amazing waist. She said I lost ten pounds and I want to be able to show it. And that she did. She looked amazing on her wedding day.

4th of July we had a BBQ with mom and dad and Jason. Then we went to a concert in Liberty Lake and ended with fireworks on Liberty Lake.

family camping

We had a Stoker family get together up at a small lake here in Idaho. We slept in a TP and went fishing, the kids caught a few fish. It was a lot of fun being with the family.

Fun date night...

Joe and I went out for a date night at the Rockin B Ranch. It was a night full of fun. First we saw a cowboy shoot out. Then we had a huge BBQ dinner with ribs, steak, chicken, and homemade corn bread and more, all served in a tin plate. Lastly we enjoyed story telling time and a live country band. We really had a rockin time as we went back to the wild west. It was one of my most favorite dates that we have ever been on.

dehydrating

Mom and Dad Stoker bought us a dehydrator for Christmas. We have had a lot of fun, dehydrating all kinds of things. When fruit starts to become a little on the ripe side we throw it on the dehydrator and put it in our food storage.
