Missing In Action

I just wanted to say that I know I am very behind in our lives right now!! I have been doing horrible at posting and hope to get caught up someday. I have been working on a lot of different projects and kind of let them take center stage but need to get caught up so we can remember our day to day lives!

Discovering Treasures

The kids and I went to Rexburg for a couple of weeks (which I hopefully will get around to blogging about) and while we were there I rented a photo scanner from one of my Heritage Makers directors. I scanned approx. 1500 pics of my own that I had in boxes and albums. My mom and I then went to my Grandma's house and dug out a whole bunch of old photos that she had. It took awhile to scan 2600 of them and we didn't even actually get them all. It has been so much fun sorting through them and seeing my mom and her siblings as kids as well as some of my grandparents when they were young. I am so glad for technology and the opportunity that we have to relive these memories and also preserve them even further than just on paper. While scanning I came across a picture of myself  and it could almost be a pic of my sweet baby girl. I was excited because everybody always says how much the kids look like Ben and now I have proof that she is mine!!

Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's day and A, E, & I would just like to say thanks to the daddy who makes our lives so great!! Thanks also to their grandpas Milt and Dave who share their knowledge and love with us. We love you and are glad we belong to you!!

Notice the matching ties I found for Ben and A!!

Here's a link to the book I made for Ben: http://www.heritagemakers.com/projectBrowserStandAlone.cfm?projectId=1795149&productId=1&projectSponsor=492709

Father & Son (& Daughter) Campout



The Annual Fathers & Sons Campout was this weekend, and since the kids have been at their Grandparents for the past 2 weeks, I decided to take both of them. We had a great time, as you can see by the pictures below. Emily was the only one at the campout wearing a purple dress. When I asked each of them what their favorite part of the campout was, A said toasting his own marshmallow (I helped) and E said playing with the boys. Good times!
