1st Annual Camp Trip!!

This weekend our family went camping in Montana with our good friends from my old work. We ate (a lot & well) and played games and did minimal hiking...which to me is the only way to go hiking. We got bitten by bugs, roasted marshmellows, and just relaxed and visited. The weekend went by so fast! We had so much fun we decided to do it every year! We will be so good at this camping thing. I look forward to many years of meeting together for camping! Thanks Gina, Michael, Kim, Kyle, and families for such a great weekend!! Can't wait to do it again!

What a Week!!

65th Anniversary

Washing the dog!!

Hailey's Birthday!

We had our visitors and now our houses are quiet, but we had so much fun!! We went to Rigby Lake, went rafting, had an anniversary party, washed the dog, and a baby shower. It was a full week.

Babies...Babies!!!

We are so glad to welcome Kamryn McKinna Franck (my brother and sister-in-law's new little one) into our family. Kevin and Amber have had a lot of heartache before receiving this special little one. They had 2 little angels before Kamryn, but they could not stay. So Kamryn is so special to our whole family. She was born at 4 pounds 1 ounce and is now up to 4 pounds 10 ounces. She is doing really well, and will get to come home from the hospital after she can take all 8 feedings either by bottle or nursing. She is at 5 right now.

We can't wait to get that baby home and watch her grow!!!!

We girls got together and had a baby shower for my sister Jaimee. She is expecting her 4th baby. It was fun to get together and honor her and the baby!! She is a great mom, and has always been a good example of motherhood.



At this shower we attempted to make headbands for the baby. Some where really good and some not so good, but it was great fun. We also were able to enjoy the nice weather by having a picnic! We look forward to the baby coming early in August!!!

Fourth of July Fun

We had a fun day on the 4th. We got up...to late for the parade, and went to my aunt's house for a picnic with the whole family. It was fun to be with everyone, and go swimming. Nathan was brave enough to slide down the slide by himself and even jump into the deep end with my cousin catching him. I love to see him try new things, not too many though.

After that we went to Lynn's parents to celebrate with them. We got to do a lot of visiting and catching up with brothers and sisters. Later we sat with them at the fireworks. Nathan had so much fun playing with his cousins, he didn't even watch the fireworks. I guess he isn't scared of them.

The whole day was a blast. There is nothing better than watching your kids play and enjoying the warm weather!!

We are excited to be having visitors!!!!

Nathan is counting down the days until his cousins come. Jaimee and family are coming to stay with us next week and Justin may be coming as early as this Thursday. It has been forever since we have been all together so we really look forward to this visit! Nathan loves his cousins, and needs to get to know his Uncle Justin, who he is just like!! Yes, we have Justin genes to thank for our little climbing, swinging, jumping, Nathan!!

It will be so much fun, and to tell the truth it isn't just Nathan counting down the days either!!
