Clinton's Birthday! August 31, 2014

Clinton turns 51 today!  Happy Birthday!  Every year it is tradition to have a German Chocolate Cake for him.  Millie always made the cake.  Since she is gone, I have now stepped up to do this for him.  It is a very delicious cake and it is completely made from scratch!  Yummy!

Clinton deserves the best.  He is so very thoughtful and looking out for others, I am glad I can give back to him.  He is a great Husband and Father.  He always does things to make me feel special.  Most important of all, he is a worthy Priesthood holder and loves his Heavenly Father.  I couldn't ask for a better man to spent my life with.  I am one lucky girl!

Bear World August 30, 2014

I have never driven through Bear World.  I asked Carrie to call me next time she went so I could come along.  (They have a pass and go often.)  I really enjoyed this activity.  There were lots of animals to see and the little kid rides were perfect for the grandkids.  This was a fun morning.

Weekend at Camp Albin August 9 - 10, 2014

Brock, Carrie, Payton and Braden came to Camp Albin in Island Park and spent the weekend with us. We rode the 4-wheelers, took the boat out on the lake, and took some walks around the Island.  On Sunday, we attended church in Island Park.  We had a great weekend.

Payton has his helmet on and is ready for a 4-wheeler ride.

Brock and Braden are ready for the ride too.  Clinton wound us around on a bunch of trails through the woods.  It was a good ride.

Grandpa was taking a nap and Payton decided to join him.

Carrie, Brock and Payton were pulled around the lake on the tube!

Just behind the cabin in the soft mud we found these bear tracks!

It was pretty dusty driving the 4 - wheeler so this is how Grandpa dressed for the ride.

Tea Party July 22, 2014

I just love serving in the Young Women group in our ward!  We have the best girls and we always have a good time.

We had a tea party!  Everyone came dressed up with hats and gloves too.  Sister Annette Sommer and her sister helped us put it on.  Lisa Redd was our speaker.  Our theme was Divine Nature, Daughter of a King.  We had great tea party food and used the old wedding reception glass cups and plates.  A few of the girls helped with decorations.  Everything was perfect.  We had a very special evening

July Birthdays July 13, 2014

On this Sunday, we celebrated our family July birthdays.  Kaden the 18th, Carrie the 19th and Tyson the 27th!

We sang "Happy Birthday" to all and they all got blow out the candles!

Girls Camp July 14 - 18, 2014

Girls Camp was a blast!  The theme was "The Hunger Games".  This is the flag from District 2.

     This year camp started on Monday.  We took the Jr Leaders and our 4th years up a day earlier than the rest for a special activity.  We canoed down the river just below Big Springs..  Even though we got rained on, we had fun.  The girls that came were Sabrina Luthy, Julianne Gee and Tylynn Proctor.  Brother Proctor, the Bishop, Sister Dayley and me were the leaders.  This was a great way to start off camp.  That night we got settled in our cabin, which was Camp Albin in Island Park, and then had a delicious dinner, complete with my Brownie Trifle.    
      The next morning we met the rest of the girls and leaders at the trail head for our hike.  It was a great hike.   The trail traveled mostly along the river and was 90% in the shade.  The rest of the week was filled with fun activities such as:  Shooting guns, Constellations, Boating, and Canoeing.  Our Testimony meeting was very spiritual this year.  The girls really bore their testimonies.  It was powerful.  A good time was had by all.
   

Mack's Inn Dinner Theater July 2, 2014

We went to the Mack's Inn Dinner Theater in Island Park.  Great food and a fun show.  The girl who served us was the daughter of Robert Blaser.  We both knew him, Clinton went to school with him.

We love going to plays!

We are happy to be here!
