Fun Family Night!!

We had a fun family night last week. It was warm. The last warm day there was!! So we decided it would be fun to go ICE BLOCKING!! Of course everything is funner with friends so we invited the Bells and Bennetts from our old neighborhood to come with us. The kids had so much fun. When I first told Brigham we were going Ice Blocking he did not want to go. Come to find out he thought I said "Ice Walking" and didn't think that sounded very fun. Once he understood he would be sliding down a hill on a block of Ice he was excited. It was lots of fun and I have to say Josh was a pro!!! He could go all the way down the hill without falling off his block! When he would fall he would continue to tumble down the hill, he is so funny! He loved it. They all did.
We had lots of fun with old friends too. While the kids were Ice Blocking I made some Raspberry Ice Cream. It was really tasty!! We are so lucky to have such great friends to have fun with!!!

Thanks for the pictures Diane!! I was so mad when I forgot my camera!

New Blog

Bear Lake With The Bennetts

We had lots of fun this weekend. The Bennetts invited us up to Bear Lake with them. We had lots of fun playing Volleyball, Swimming, 4-wheeling, and just hanging out with friends! Thanks for the fun time!!

The Frog!

We had another visitor! This time it was only a tiny frog! I can deal with frogs but when it comes to snakes they seem a little creepier! The kids had fun watching it jump around the flowers!

Alicia's Performance

Yesterday Alicia had a performance with her Singing/Dance group Treehouse Rock! She had a solo, Love Story, a song Taylor Swift sings. This was supposed to be a duet but the girl she sings it with was not able to make it. For having about a 10 minute warning that she would be doing it alone she did the best job. I know I'm her Mom and you think I have to say that but She really was the star of the show. We are so proud of her and love her love for life! She really has no fear for performing in front of people, and has a great stage presence. We Love You Alicia!! GREAT JOB!

Island Park

This last weekend we went up to The Cabin in Island Park. It was so much fun!! Even the ride there was fun. We were able to stop in Idaho Falls and see Russ and Betsy and their new house. It was beautiful! It inspired me to get going and decorate mine. Or at least finish painting everywhere. We also loved all their woodwork! The kids had fun playing Mario Cart with Amanda, Tiffany, Nik, and one of their Aberdeen friends. It was a great break for the kids and I think they had lots of fun!! Then we stopped at Fazoli's for dinner before heading off to Island Park.
On Friday we had a full day! We went to Big Springs in the morning, then to West Yellowstone to shop, and then to Yellowstone. I think the kids favorite part was West and buying their new toys! Brigham and Jacob got a gun that shoots rubber bullets, Alicia got a pocket knife with her name on it and a Cat that looks real (it breaths!), Isaac got a spinner gun, and Josh got a nice horse that makes noise. Clint said his favorite part of the day was the picnic we had in Yellowstone, and I really liked the beautiful drive and Old Faithful. Clint said he has never seen Old Faithful so crowded. It took us 20 minutes to find a parking spot and the boardwalk was full when in went off!
Saturday the kids had fun playing around the Cabin with their new toys and the walki-talki's. Then we went over to Big Springs again and went and saw John Sack's Cabin. Then it was home because I had to teach on Sunday. It was a fun vacation.
