Mitchell turns 15

It has finally happened. . .we have a teenager old enough to drive--watch out!!! Mitchell had his birthday last week. Which he spent doing service at his grandparents' home and going to the temple. He is at scout camp this week and we barely got the cake squeezed in last night. Happy Birthday, Mitch!!!!

The Reef Waterpark

As part of the reunion, we all went to an indoor waterpark in Billings. Here are some great shots. . .

Family Reunion time

We had a wonderful week with lots of family and activities!!! Jared's family reuion was held at our home this year and we had a blast. We spent 5 days enjoying each other's company, experiencing spiritual highs and cementing those family bonds. Here is a photo of JUST the grandkids. I do not have a photo of everyone, but you get the idea. . . just add a bunch of parents to the mix.

To reovate or demolish. . .you decide

A few days before we had 60 people show up at our house for a family reunion, we decided to fix a hole in our bathroom floor that happened quite some time ago. Jared's brother Cory came over from Butte (3 hrs. away) to help us. Jared purchased the supplies so everything would be ready when Cory got there. Needless to say, we found that the problem was not as isolated as we thought. The rotten floor extended under the tub, so it all needed to be ripped out. It seemed that everything we touched in that bathroom went horribly wrong. Here is a photo of Cory with a look on his face that says it all!!! I will post the finished product once I have finished painting. . .
