Summer 2009 on Fast Forward

For the Williams reunion we went camping to a place only twenty minuets from home! It is owned by some people in our ward. It had a zip line, teeter toter, and these swings that were like a fairies wheel on its side(?)that was motorized with a wheel line engine. We decorated "fireworks" shirts with stamps we made our of noodles. Did a treasure hunt with GPS's. That night we had a great family home evening about listening to your parents which involved blindfolds and gold covered chocolate bars. We also had family pictures taken. It was nice to be with all of Cam's family.




All the kids loved the Zip Line (even Tate)




This is Tate putting rocks down his shirt(????)Little Boys(?????)



We had a family reunion with my Dad's side of the family at Bear Lake. All of my siblings were there! It was great to see cousins that I had not seen since my Grandma's funeral. We are so close to Bear Lake, but rarely go there (it is strange how we will drive hundreds of miles to see something great and ignore the things around home).






Hail storm in June, Cam was in the shop and said the noise was unbearable. Tate and Adele had a good time eating the hail stones.

Afternoon Project

I got the August Family Fun magazine today, and saw this cute Monogram idea. So once Tate went down for a nap Adele helped me pick our fabric that would match her bedspread. I used a some thick wire that was around the house and bent to to form the "A". The fabric I cut into 1/2inch strips and tide or glued each end. It was fast and easy, and it looks so cute in her room!
