Jenna's 3rd Birthday

Jenna turned 3 last week and we celebrated with a small party with some of her little friends. I think we all had a good time and enjoyed the heat. Maybe not Jace who is now sporting a sunburn that would make any red head jealous. Poor guy. But Happy Birthday Jenna, hope you had a great day. Oh and lets leave the terrible two's behind for good.

July 4th 2011

For the 4th this year we headed up to Rexburg to spend the weekend with our good friends, the Ericksons. They used to be our neighbors and were the ones that we did everything with. Gosh,  we still miss you guys. It was such a fun visit and the kids loved seeing their friends again. Rexburg has changed so much, it was great seeing everything. Thanks again Ericksons!

Swimming Lessons 2011

T-ball ended just in time for swimming lessons to start. Phew!! Jenna has one more year, so Jace was going solo again. And again is loving it.

Jace's T-ball

Jace had his last T-ball game last week and loved it. I sometimes doubted that he enjoyed it so much when he would lay down in the field or complain about being hot, but he wanted to go every game and would be disappointed if one got canceled. It was fun for him to start learning the rules and get to know more kids. Hopefully he will continue to overcome his shyness around new people. He did a great job and can't wait for next year. But for me and Blaine-- it will come soon enough.

Pickup Family Reunion

Our busy summer is hopefully wrapping up for the most part. Some of what kept us busy and out of town, was our Pickup Family Reunion. It was held at the Uinta Youth Camp and we had a great time. The cabins were nice, especially with Leia. Our time was filled with time at the shooting range, canoeing and fishing at the pond, games, foosball, treasure hunt, auction, horseshoes, and lots of practical jokes. Thanks to Lori and Dan for all their hard work. Until next year.
