24th of July in Bancroft

I don’t get to Bancroft very often for the 24th of July, so it was fun to be able to go this year. Kelsi had spent the week with Danielle & Steve helping with Emma while they were packing to move and she needed a way home. Cindy & Russ were going to my mom’s to sell shaved ice at the parade so they let Kelsi ride with them, and I drove down and picked her up. Kevin had to work and Matt stayed home to take care of the dog, so it was just me. Here are some fun pictures of our fun weekend.

Where we have been & what we have been doing. . .

Blessing, Bear Lake, Birthdays, 4th of July, Weddings, Roofing, Reunioning!

I realize it has been months (2) since I have posted anything. Maybe because we have been a little busy! So in my normal fashion, I will do a picture post because a picture says a “thousand words”.

First item Little Miss “E”’s baby blessing.

Memory Lane

So I know some people think that Disney is “of the Devil”. But I have to say our family’s favorite vacations have been to Disney World.

I have been going through some old pictures and came across these and they brought back some really fun memories.

So I invite you to take a walk with me down memory lane!

This particular time was in June of 2005 when we went to pick up Danielle after her 5 months of working there (her dream come true!)

It’s not a Disney vacation without the Character Breakfast!

Remember this was 4 years ago!

Check out Matt’s face…He did not like this waitress. She made him finish his dinner before he could have his dessert (not really, but it was so funny)!

Michelle, Danielle, Kelsi, Matt, Sandra & Kevin

Thanks for letting me take that little stroll. I hope you enjoyed it too!

I’m thinking it’s about time to go visit Mickey again!

FAMILY & EASTER

Every year for Easter we usually have Sean and Dianne and their family come and visit (every year but last year). This year it was spring break for Danielle and Michelle so they came (with Steve and Miss E). Then on Wednesday, Lessley called and wanted to know if we wanted more company and we said sure, so she came with Eli and Hallie. So the total number of people that inhabited our home from Thursday until Sunday was 16 plus 2 dogs! it was crazy FUN!!! I took about a hundred (or more) pictures, so I decided to group some for your enjoyment!

cake pops

We made and ate “cake pops”. This was Steve’s favorite activity (eating the cake pops!)!

family-egg hunt

We relaxed, played the piano, watched movies and had a fun easter egg hunt.

We colored Easter eggs.

Thanks for coming everyone! Hope we can do it again next year!!!

What season is it anyway?

I am not the only one who thinks spring should be here.

This is what I saw this morning when I got home from walking.

P1000291 P1000292

If you ever wonder…

sometimes I wonder if my kids really like each other.

I was thinking that the other day then I walked by Matt’s bedroom door and saw this …

P1000283Then I did this…

P1000284

Then I walked in his room and saw this… (little notes)P1000285and this… 

P1000286I think they do like each other (at least Kelsi likes Matt!)
