Lately, we have had a Dragonfly Infestation. Not sure where they have come from but they are tons of them and they are everywhere. They are a bit freaky flying all around you especially when there are like 10 of them. But if you're lucky enough to get closeand you hold really still-- they are really quite beautiful. I caught this one on film while I was taking pictures of my neighbors flowers (cuz I am a flower freak, don't ya know!). Isn't this BUG amazing?!2. Full Moon
This week, we had the chance to experience the full moon. So crazy! I love how BIG it looks. And one advantage of having NO mountains is that you get to see it across the entire sky. Now that's looking on the bright side of things for ya! LOL3. Red River Valley Fair
This week the RRV Fair came to town. We live fairly close to the Red River Valley fairgrounds. Close enough in fact, that if you close your eyes, you might think you are right there at the concerts. Can anyone say LOUD?? We didn't make it there this year but we did drive by slowly (due to vast amounts of people in the road ;) and snapped a picture. Looks like fun!!! Maybe next time.

4. Netflix as we know it!
It's truely an end of an era. So sad! We took so long to jump on the Netflix bandwagon and now life as we know it will shortly be coming to an end. We have taken full advantage of our movie watching opportunities with this awesome company. We may very well be the exact reason why the prices are skyrocketing. Oops! Come September however, we will be changing plans. We can't decide what to drop cuz I'm too sad to think about it yet. Oh well- someday I may find a Money Tree and life will be good. LOL
Not sure if they would agree but I attribute this Fam Tradition to the Babcock Family. We LOVE making dough in our breadmaker and then having people over to make scones. Everyone gets to make there own shapes. We get lots of fun things fried up! Then we offer lots of serving choices. We usually have butter, cinnamon/sugar, powdered sugar, honey butter, nutella and home-made jam. So delicious! Anyone want to come over tonight? ;)
P.S. Because the reason that the Scone tradition is on this week's Gratitude List is due to the fact that Elder Eric Rigg is getting married, I feel a p.s. is necessary. After his mission here, Elder Rigg went to school where he met and fell in love with Ashley Williams. (Her parent are in our ward) They have been here all Summer visiting. Its been fun to have them here and see Elder Rigg, umm, I mean Eric off his mission. They left this week to head West befor they get married and so we had them over before they left. Good luck guys!!! We will miss you!
What are you Grateful For?
