June

In June we wrapped up our season of transition/moving/relocating, and we moved into our house in Roseburg at last! We are all so thankful to know we will not have to uproot and move anytime soon. 


 We made a family trip to the coast and enjoyed the beautiful weather! 






 What a handsome couple! 




Clancy caught this with his own two hands! (I believe he may have also used his shirt somehow to avoid getting pinched)

Yes, I live with some very crazy people! 


Daddy and Peter

Adriana- "Can I get the mail, Mama?"


Clancy and Myles have been working like crazy remodeling our house. Its looking good! (more to come on that subject)

Ruth and Adriana love hunting frogs!  

Love this goofy shot with our friends the Williams kids!

June is also Mama's birthday month! I know that she would not appreciate it if I announced to the whole world how old she is, so I will refrain. (besides, I can't even remember. Woops, I hope she doesn't read this!) 

Mama happens to be one of my favorite people. Her personality is one of a kind- fun, loving, enthusiastic, dramatic, compassionate, talented....man, I really shouldn't even try. All of the adjectives that I can think of really do not describe her well enough!

One of things that I love most about Mama is that she's not only my mom, but she is also my friend and confidante. I can tell her anything and know that it is safe with her. She understands when I'm frustrated but knows when to set me right. ;-) She really is the best. I love you Mama! 

To celebrate, we went to Silver Falls State Park and enjoyed a day in the great outdoors with family and good food! 
 I think the peanut m&ms were her favorite gift (and her kid's too!)

 Family stair-step shot! (with me taking the picture)

Ruth and Adri 

Adriana loves cousin Mandy (and we do too!) 

Fun with cousins! L-R, Ruth, Liberty, Clara, Kendrick, Claire, David, Paula

 Grandpa and Grams, Aunt Naomi, Elizabeth and Molly 

The whole group! 

 These kiddos are too cute! 



 Daddy and I made this scrumptious feast! By the way, salad in a jar is the coolest thing ever! As you can see, I used half gallon jars for such a huge group and they fed everyone and we had leftovers. 

Cook Emily...

And Cook Rudi with Clara!

 Ooh-la-la dark chocolate!

 Life was a party! 

A boiling marshmallow experiment? What will Clancy think of next.....?


 They were zonked the whole way home! 

Well, that about wraps up June! Stay tuned for July happenings!

Love, 

Emily Jo

A hike in the Carpathians- Europe Trip Part VII

Image
I love hiking. But this hike was gnar. It was very difficult, steep, gasp-inducing, and muscle burning.  This might be my favorite shot of the whole trip.   Resting at the top with my hiking partner Samara!  The jumping shots!  I'm not sure about all that.   Food is always good on top of a mountain.   Kevin entertained us with a backflip.  On the way home, we visited a gorgeous waterfall. Here are some of the beautiful Booher ladies! Oh and by the way, even though the hike was extremely difficult, it was well worth the pain! I'm almost caught up on my blogging. Yay!  Emily Jo  Psalm 91:6,7 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

In This Is Love

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, an was made in the likeness of men:  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  Philippians 2:5-8 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.  Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  Isaiah 53:3-5 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live throu

Tunari or Bust!

Image
                                    I have always wanted to hike to the top of this mountain.                                           The twin peaks on the right are called Mount Tunari.    Mount Tunari is 16,480 feet high. This mountain isn't even on the list of the top twenty tallest mountains of Bolivia! On Wednesday morning we loaded up our wonderful, almost 4X4 truffi (ha, ha), with 12 people, a sack lunch, and a guitar. We went up the same road that you see in  A Drive Through the Andes , but this time we turned off and took a very treacherous and difficult road. The Car The Road                                                             The Group (L-R: Jimmy, Michelle, Clara, Gina, Joe, Myles, Clancy, Emily, Ruth, Danyelle, Isabelle. Daddy took the picture)                                      We had to stop here or we might have gone off the edge. After parking, we started walking up the road. Thankfully, we were very close to th
