My Bosom Friend

Jackie Juanita Kartoshka Ferrell Isom is one of my best friends. We met in a faraway land known as Russia. (Are you going to miss it? What, your talking? No, Russia) She wore a puffy coat that resembled a burnt marshmallow and fell on the ice a lot. We had lots of Siberian sleepovers and loved to play charades with Russian host moms, tease our head teacher, flirt with missionaries, and eat Mentos. It was one of the best times of my life. After not seeing her for many years, I finally got to spend the day with her and her adorable little John Wayne. I can't wait to see you again Chuckie!! You dance like a feather!





Oh, and the twins came along too.

Sun Valley

We love to spend the Fourth of July in Sun Valley, Idaho.
We have a week full of fun, sun, and being with our family. 
 Sometimes there are even great rides included.



 We always hike a mountain...






 Or two!
 Or in Tyler's case...three!



But we mostly love to spend time together eating out, having fun, and trying to see Oprah.

Remember how they love animals?

Well, the zoo was a particularly great treat.
The only trouble was they couldn't reach the animals. Or touch the animals. 


 But they still had time to marvel

 And take a few great pictures
 No you can't jump off the train to play with the animals.

A long day at the zoo...
