Games

What's a vacation without some good old family board games. I wasn't able to play this one, but I know they were laughing the night away. I heard them. They were loud. HA HA!!


Cory and Melissa.


Laurie and Amy.


Melissa and Nate.

Shooting

We were able to go shooting the second and third days we were at the cabin. Amy and Tyler brought a few of their guns that we all used. It was nice because the place where we shot at was only a few miles away. Maybe 10 minutes.



I'm ready to shoot.

Look at all those bullets.


Just a baby gun. This is one Makayla shot.


Won't my Mom and Dad be so proud. HA!!


I look hot.


Amy and Tyler are pros. She's a really good shot. But...how long have you guys been shooting?

Cory's turn. He was good too.


Cute, cute, cute Makayla.

The cabin in McCall.

Last weekend we were able to spend some time with the Miles family at the Simplot Cabin in McCall. We had a lot of fun even though it snowed and rained. I enjoyed just staying indoors and not having to worry much about anything. It was a much needed vacation that we enjoyed.


The front of the cabin.


Side view...it is much bigger than it looks.


The lake.


The docks. It was fun to walk down there and look out onto the lake.


Back of the cabin.

McDonald's in Boise

On the way to McCall, we stopped in Boise so the kids could run around McDonalds for awhile. It was a much needed break for all of us. Tyler loves to play in the play-land. It was so worth the extra hour!!!



Jason and me!!!


Tyler said that this was the biggest McDonalds he had ever been too. He talked about it a few times during the week and how he wanted to go there again.

So handsome.

Kanzashi Flowers

I have been obsessed with making these bows. I love them and they are so easy. I have just been using all my scrap fabric to make them. I had a fabric exchange with a few of my friends too. I gave them a bunch of my fabric squares and they gave me theirs. I have to say that I have more than enough now. I have sold 7 bows from these two pictures already. I made about 30 last week at the cabin too. They are just so cute and easy.


My finished bows.


A few un-finished bows. I did finish them and sold 4 of those so far.

New summer outfits


So handsome in lilac.

I bought them a little big so that they will last a little bit longer. I think they are just perfect.


Tyler's favorite color is blue. I was excited about his vest.


I ordered theses outfits when the Children's Place was having their $5 dollar sale. I had a coupon for 25% off too. They came out to be pretty cheap. I always like to buy them sweater vests a couple times a year. These ones are so cute. I love them.

Madison's Baptism Day

Saturday was Madison's birthday and her baptism. We were able to go to Ontario for the day for the special occasion. It was a super fast trip, but we had a lot of fun.


Tyler is looking handsome as ever. I love his smile.


Cute little Jason. He bumped his head in the chapel after he fell off the bench. We had to take both the boys out because Tyler first hit his teeth on the wood and started bleeding, then Jason fell off the bench. Wow.


Cute guys.


I thought this was hilarious. Madison is so funny. I love this picture.


Another family shot.


Madison in her beautiful dress.


Madi and Papa.


Grandma and Madison.


I made Ben this frog hat. He is so cute.

HELLO DOLLY!!!

The last Saturday in April we went with Mom and Dad, Jenni and the girls, Grandma and Connie, and Ureal and Dolores to Hello Dolly. We were able to get a babysitter (thank you Scot and Laurie) for the boys so that we didn't have to worry about them. I really don't think the kids would've done too well during the show. I knew a lady that was in it and so that was fun to see her.


Ahhhh, that is the cutest couple ever.


We took up a whole row with our group.


Abby was so funny to watch during the show. Her eyes were so big. I think she loved it.


Thanks Grandma for telling us about the show. It was fun.

Kite Flying

Tyler has just been loving the good weather. We especially like to go to my Mom and Dad's house to play in the backyard. Tyler has been having fun doing some grass sledding....yes, it really does work, and flying kites. It's nice to have a place Tyler can just run around at.



The sled. The round sleds do work a little better, I think Tyler just likes to be pulled around in this one though.


While Tyler was sledding, Dad and the other kids were getting ready to fly the kite.


There he goes...


Not fast enough though.

Jason tried it a few times. He loves to be pulled around by Papa.

Environmental Fair

A few weekends ago Jenni and the girls came for a fun weekend. One of the first things we did together was go to the Environmental Fair. It was so fun. It was really geared towards kids and there was a lot of stuff for them to do and look at.


Tyler won all sorts of toys at some of the booths that had games.


Jason loved the games and he won a few things too. If you see the bags on the stroller, they were filled with everything we got there. We got a few t-shirts, crayons, coloring books, toys, 2 kids books, a couple tomato plants, sunflowers, lots of stuff. It was fun and worth going to.
