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!!!!!

I, once again, forget that I have to update this blog. It would be so nice if it did it all by itself. Anyway, I have a funny Mother's Day story to tell you. A few weeks before Mother's Day, Paige found a folder full of pics. They are in the folder because I do not scrapbook and so I am waiting for them to scrapbook themselves! Paige asked me if she could use some of the pics- I said yes. On Mother's Day- I was given a purse made out of scrapbooking paper- so cute! There was a pic on the front of us as a family. When I opened the purse up it said, "Mom, even though I am growing up, I will still always be your little girl". At the bottom was 3 pics. One was a pic of my neice, Elizabeth at the age of around 18 months and then Paige at the age of 5 and then a pic of my other neice Azlin at the age of around 2 months. So I say, "Paige, why did you put Elizabeth and Azlin in here?" She says, "What, those aren't me?"
I laughed so hard. Isn't that the cutest thing ever? It seems like every Mother's Day I am given something with humor- couldn't get any better than that!!!

You know Elizabeth would let you be her mommy any day! That's too funny! Tell Paige thanks again for teaching Caroline how to (finally) ride her bike! I posted about it if she wants to see...
