What the Phillips have been up to...



Wow, Its been a long time since I have sat down in front of the computer to update my blog. We have had so much craziness going on I dont know where to begin. We have been fortunate lately and have been able to enjoy some great time with each other. We have also been blessed with some great job opportunities as of late. One of the great perks of Drew's job is that they have a land development in Lake Shastina. So of course we had to go up there for the 4th and take care of some business. They have one fully furnished duplex for us to stay in whenever Drew needs to tend to any of the work needed up there. It is a gated complex on a golf course. The streets are paved so the kids got to have free rein of the neighborhood. They set up a cool track for their bikes and had a blast collecting stray golf balls.

We had some thrilling experiences with wildlife. We got there pretty late on thursday night, but friday morning when we woke up we found a cute little frog in the kitchen sink. We all were fascinated by the frog but decided to let it back into his natural habitat. Amber of course fell in love with the frog and wanted to keep it. We told her that if it came back she could keep the frog. Who knew that the stinkin' thing would hop right back into the house before we could even shut the door. Therefore, one hour long trip to petsmart later, Shasta our pet frog has a new home and now lives with us . We also experienced some playful foxes running on the course. A couple black and orange snakes trying to golf with us. And Ava was out on the bike course by herself when an 8 point buck and his family decided to cross right in front of her. Lets just say she cried, mom panicked and Dad rode dmans bike faster than it had ever gone.
