Happy Birthday Grammy!

After the family reunion Grammy and Papa came back to our house to spend the week with us. I am happy that it worked out that my mom got to spend her birthday at our house. We had fun making her day special. She decided that it would be nice to have dinner at home instead of going out.

We had dinner and then the girls had to go to soccer and mutual so we waited to have cake until they got home.

It was fun celebrating with my mom.

Back to school shopping

Today we did some back to school shopping with Grammy. It always fun to shop with the girls. Some love it more then others. I thought it was funny when Madison and Allison had changing rooms next to each other.

Allison was a little more enthusiastic then Madison. Madison prefers for me to just pick it our for her and bring it home for her try it on. She does not enjoy cloths shopping but it is a different story when it comes to shoes. It was a fun day.

Ashley babysetting

Ashley has been working as raising money for her soccer backpack. Her sweet primary teacher wanted to help out so she ask if Ashley would watch her three year old while she took her older kids to the movies. Ashley was so excited to have such a great responsibility. She was so cute and played with Tess the whole time that she was over. They played hide and go seek.

It was so cute watching her be so responsible.

After Tess left Ashley was exhausted. She told me it was hard entertaining kids all day. I just love that girl.

Lunt Family Pictures

Today we got our family pictures back from the reunion. I am so glad that everyone was able to make it to the reunion and we were able to update our Lunt family picture. A lot has changed since our last one over 10 years ago.

I love the way they turned out and it was great to be together as a family. It has been way to long.

I love the way that they all turned out but I am probably the happiest with our family picture.

Families are what life is all about and I just love mine.

McIntosh Family Reunion

Last night we drove to Utah for the McIntosh family reunion in Heber City. We arrived late but we were still glad that we took the time to come. Grammy and Papa had a cabin for us all to sleep in. We had fun catching up late into the night.

It was a fun night but not much sleeping happened. Eleven people in one room makes for a lot of snoring and noise which makes it hard to sleep.

The next morning we got up and got ready for family pictures. The pictures went very well and I can't wait to see how they turned out. After the pictures we mingled and just enjoyed being at the family reunion. The kids had fun with their cousins.

It was fun just hanging out. After lunch we headed to the lake for the canoes and paddle boats. We were just along for the ride because we didn't make reservations ahead of time but thankfully they had some extras so we were able to participate. The girls were so excited. Kevin took Allison and Ashley canoeing.

Madison did not feel like canoes were stable enough to keep her dry so I rode the paddle boat with her.

I am glad that they had the room because we had fun. It was better then sitting and watching.

Once the reunion was over we headed to Salt Lake for dinner together as a family before we headed home.

It was a short trip but I am glad that we did it. Many memories were made with family.

Twin Falls with cousins

We just got home from a fun weekend with cousins in Twin Falls. The girls love to spend time with family. Their perfect world would be if we all lived on the same block and they could see their cousins every day. I love that they love being with family so much. The weekend was spent mostly with the kids playing.

The kids spent hours outside. I love watching them all play.

I love that they love being together and they love Nana and Grandpa's house so much. For many years this chalk board has been hanging in Nana's kitchen. Karen told me that they never thought to right on it as kids. Madison several years ago left a note on it one trip and now all the grandkids write on it. It is fun watching this message change each time we are down there.

I love the memories that these kids are making together. Cousins are the best friends that a kid can find.

Little Issac kept on asking Kevin if he could ride in our monster truck. On the way home from church we took him on a short ride. He love being up so high. It was fun having our car full.

Another great weekend. I wish that we could spend every weekend this way.

Cousins from Ohio

The Wallis's are out from Ohio and they stopped in to see us today. It was fun having them at our house. We had some lunch and played at the house for a while.

We headed to Micheals and the kids kept them selves busy while the grown ups shopped. It was fun watching them play.

I am sure the Micheals employees didn't enjoy it but oh well they were making memories. After some shopping we headed to the pool. The kids had a great time playing with each other.

I sure wish they lived closer so we could do this more often.
