WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!
We went camping at Henry's Lake up in Idaho. My parents, Todd and Alynn, Elizabeth, Caroline and Louis, Rhett and Shantel, Kade and Ryker and Sid and Sparky and us all headed up! Henry's Lake is beatiful! We had a lot of fun. The first night we ate dinner and then sent the kids and older boys out to fish with no luck. The next day, the older boys went fishing with no luck then we ate breakfast, girls had pedicures, then we all headed to West Yellowstone for some shopping. When we got back to camp they went fishing again with no luck. That night are big plans were to have dutch oven dinner- BBQ ribs, Chicken strips, cheese-bacon potatoes, apple and berry cobbler. Yummy! Then the all mighty storm hit! We waited thinking it would just pass over, but it only got worse. We tried to salvage any of the dutch oven dinner that we could, but ended up with the ribs and chicken and some of the potatoes were done. Todd and Alynn's tent broke in half and the trailer my parents were staying in started leaking so at last my parents and Todd's family decided to head home. Us and the Chatelains ate what dinner there was and played games in the trailer! The next morning- we had a huge mess to clean up- and then we decided to head home. What a fishing trip!!!!- no fish! So we went home and then took all the kids to the fish hatchery for a guaranteed fish catch. They caught 8 fish and Brandon grilled them up for him and Paige while Conner and I ate Chick Fil-A. All in all it was a lot of fun, but a lot of work. Next time- WE ARE STAYING IN A HOTEL!!!!!

It was my baby girl's 11th B-day! Can you believe Paige turned 11? We decided last year that on the even years they can have then big b-day parties with all of their friends, but on the odd years they get to take a friend to dinner and have a sleepover. We figured this would be a little less expensive. Unless, of course, your child is Paige, who picks Tepanyakis and we come out spending $85 for the night!! Oh well, that tends to be our life with Paige- nothing is the norm! We love her dearly though and can't believe how fast she is growing up. Here are some pics of dinner with her friend, Siria, and her opening her presents. Her b-day was on superbowl Sunday, which we also celebrated with grandma- thus the football cake!
