Family Reunion! (Timothy's Family)

We were able to spend some time at Timothy's parent's house with his family and Grandma and Aunt. Then, we drove up to his big family reunion in the mountains with his Dad's family- Grandma and all of her posterity. (The kids' great-grandma) It was so fun to see all of Timothy's Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins that were able to make it. We missed all of you who didn't make it. We camped there for two night and were able to go hiking, water-sliding, and participate in a world premier sock-puppet show. It was a lot of fun! The kids took turns getting rides in great-grandma's wheelchair.



The kids especially enjoyed the water slide- It was a home-made water slide. Timothy enjoyed it too! Hyrum took one run down and didn't do it again, but the others went over and over.

Family Reunion! (Jessica's Family)

During the week of the 4th of July we had a family reunion for my side of the family. We met a Katherine and Andrew's new house. We all (except Jason and Marji) tie dyed shirts, went swimming at a lake, played at the park, made a water slide in the back yard, and went to the Pocatello Zoo. It was a lot of fun and it was so great to see family members!The water slide got the kids going pretty fast!Grandma brought up some of her "Grandma-toys" this scooter was one of them and the kids loved it.


We tried to get a picture of the 5 grand-kids on Independence Day, but it didn't work very well. They're all so young.

Happy Pioneer Day!

Our ward did a pioneer activity on Saturday to remember those who sacrificed so much to find a place of rest where they could practice their religion freely. We were invited to dress in the pioneer fashion and bring food for a potluck dinner like the pioneers would have made.

I made some gluten-free corn bread so that I would have something to eat there, I also took a little time to throw together some pioneer outfits for the family. I am pleased with how they turned out.

Easter

We were blessed to have a visit from my mom, three sisters, and two brother-in-laws for Easter. It was fun to have them visit, they just left this morning. The children miss all the attention. We didn't do much for Easter, except the most important things: attend church, and spend time with family. We didn't do the Easter Bunny thing, we're not sure we want to encourage the Pagan part of the holiday. Although, the children did get to do an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday with some friends. My mom also brought new Easter clothes for the children. They sure are cute!

My mom holding Hyrum- he wasn't feeling well that day-poor baby. Luckily he's starting to feel better now.
