Heber Retreat

My parents treated the adult kids and our better halves to a fun time at the Heber Valley Camp. We spent Friday afternoon on the challenge course, and Saturday morning on the lake. Dinner, breakfast, and lunch were deeelish! Some of our adventures included card games, a hilarious campfire program, and a meaningful family discussion. Such a bummer that some of the adults weren't there, but it was awesome with those who could come. Thanks to Sam, Cathy, Matt, and Kelli for watching our older four kids while we played. THANKS Mom and Dad!!!! We had a blast! Can't wait till next year!

Pioneer Day in Idaho

We celebrated Pioneer Day in Idaho this year. We were in St. Anthony for a family reunion, and the town has a great parade. It's one of those fun, small-town parades where the firetrucks will shoot water and most of the parade entries throw candy. My kids had a blast standing in the road with their cousins, waiting for the next handful of candy to come their way.

Banana's 2nd Birthday!

Our cute little Banana turned 2! She is such a little monster sometimes, but we love her anyways. Instead of a cake, Blueberry had the great idea to make Dora cupcakes. I have never made a "theme" cake/cupcakes, so this was our first stab at something cute. The cupcakes looked like a frightened Dora, but they were fun to do - Apple and Octimus Prime helped me. And in the end, Banana had a great birthday.
