white coats, an idaho retreat, and one great eagle scout {updated}but........... before i get into all that stuff, i must document the first favorite photo taken by our new camera. i got a new camera last week and i am loving it!

a couple weeks ago, craig had his white coat ceremony. this event marks the dental students' half way point and represents their transition from pre-clinical (reading text books and working on each other) to clinical practice (actually working on victims. i mean patients).

here is the dental crew after the ceremony. tagg and i are so proud of our hard little worker bee. craig has done an amazing job his first two years and we hope he keeps it up.

last weekend, we were fortunate enough to be invited to our friends' place in sandpoint, idaho. craig wasnt able to come with us but we still managed to eek out some fun times. their property is fabulous and we all had a great time playing on the water and eating ourselves into oblivion.

yikes. i dont really want to publish a picture of me in a bathing suit; but i did want to show how incredibly brave i was on this tube thingy. it was a complete blast.
look familiar jess and max? tagg fell in love with this little plastic rocking horse. so adorable.

ok, so my parents wouldnt stop teasing me because i talked all about the eagle scout project but there wasnt a picture of the project or the eagle scout anywhere to be found. shameful. so, this is the bike shed that my brother renovated. and this is the motley crew that helped him out.

anna, sam, tucker, and my mom. we make everything a party. seriously.

i brought some real shoes so that i could get in on the dirty work. yeah.......i had good intentions......but the shoes never left the car. i was there for moral support, ok?! plus, i had some real work to do....... (read on.... :) )

yesterday was my brother's eagle scout project. his project consisted of building a bicycle shed for this house that shelters abused mothers and their kids. it was a beautiful day and we were all so proud of tucker and his hard work. there was also a zip line on the property, so of course i had to try it out. this was me, before take off.

and this was me, mid air.

tagg wanted a thrill ride too!

i have two of the cutest boys around, no?
