Crane Family Reunion at Lava

We spent the weekend in Lava for a get together for with Jeff's family. We had a good turnout considering we only planned it a couple of months ago. We missed Doug and his kids and Bob and Mom, Kris, Devin and Derek and Kristin and Breanna. But everyone else made it. At times we had over 30 people there. The kids had a wonderful time floating the Portneuf, jumping off the platforms, going down the slides and playing volleyball. They all voted to make this reunion an annual event and they want to do it in Lava again! Thanks to everyone that were able to arrange their schedules it turned out to be a great time for everyone.

My New Job

Well it has been 3 weeks at my new job and I am still feeling like I don't know anything. The dental field is a whole different world than what I am used to so I am able to learn so much. I am working an ideal mon, tues and wed from 8:00 to 5:30 and then I am done for the week. Can't beat that right! I work for Dr. Von Kunz in Blackfoot so if any of you are in need of a good dentist and want to come to Blackfoot, give me a call. Haha. Just can't wait for the day I feel like I am trained!!!

Kayloni makes Blackfoot JV Volleyball Team

After three grueling days of 2 a day practices the teams were chosen and the list was revealed. Kayloni who will be a Freshman this year made the JV Volleyball team. She is the only Freshman to be advanced to JV. She is very excited and we are very proud of her. All the hard work, the club volleyball and team camps are paying off. Good Job, Kayloni

Nate Leaves for CEU

I gave my last hug to Nate for awhile. He left Blackfoot today and is heading to Price to start school. It is so hard to see them grow up. Where did the time go? It seems just like last year we were doing Little League 5 nights a week! He is nervous about being so far from home but we will keep praying that he will love it. He will be playing baseball and that will keep him very busy. Thank you to everyone and your prayers and advice in helping him make this very important decision. We really appreciate all the help in getting him raised!

Bear Lake takes 4rth at American Legion State Tournament

We just had a good and emotional weekend watching Nate play his last baseball games with the Bear Lake team in Boise at the American Legion A State Tourney. It was very rewarding to see this young team make it to State again. They know how to win. Unfortunately that didn't take them all the way but we are very proud of them. Nate was a very important part of that team. He just doesn't realize how talented he is. He could really be an asset to any team if he would choose to do so. But I am learning that parents are there to watch your kids choose for themselves. It is very difficult for me to do that. I am not so hip on the idea of free agency before the age of 25! But as I told Nate, I will always love you but somedays I don't like you or your choices. I know, pretty harsh. I definately need some work in that department also. Thanks to all of you and your help in raising my kids. Pretty obvious we need all the help we can get!
