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.

Miss "E"'s Great Grandma Kartchner made Miss E’s beautiful blessing dress

Next. . . Bear Lake

It was a little chilly but we all had a great time.

Steve, Kelsi & Matt on the jet-ski

Where is that dang horse shoe?!

Matt,Sandra & Danielle’s birthdays (we also had Michelle, Steve & Kevin’s birthdays, but no photos).

4th of July fun with our neighbors

Stacy & Stephanie’s Wedding

My mom needed her roof reshingled, so she enlisted the help of her daughters and son’s-in-law and grandchildren. Thanks mom for letting us help you!

There is an easy way and a hard way to get shingles on the roof. We preferred the easy way!!!

While at Grandma’s, Matt got a little practice driving a stick shift. He decided being at and helping grandma wasn’t so bad after all!

The Reunion

It has been a crazy couple of months but we have had a lot of fun. There is nothing better than being with family and friends!

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!)

Danielle in her FAVORITE: Test Track Uniform

Matt ,Sandra, Kelsi and Michelle in front of….you guessed it, EPCOT

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!

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!

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

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.

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 …

P1000283 Then I did this…

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

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

Aunt Kelsi meets Miss “Em”

So every day since February 4. (Miss Em’s birthday) Kelsi has really, really, really, really (you get the idea) been wanting to go meet her new niece. Since last weekend was a long weekend and I was sort of missing Little Em myself, I decided we would go for a visit. Kelsi was so happy and loved every minute of being with her, even when she cried (which really wasn’t very often). Thanks Danielle and Steve for letting us come for another visit.
