Bridger's Blessing

Our ADORABLE little nephew Bridger was blessed on August 7th!

We felt so lucky to be apart of his special day!!

After the blessing we enjoyed a yummy lunch in Tammy's Brother's beautiful backyard!

It was a really fun day!

Happy 26th Birthday!

My 26th birthday was filled with fun!

Bowling with my kiddo's!

Then picking up Jeremy from work to go out to lunch at JCW's! (There Bacon Blue Burger is my all time FAVORITE!)

Then we headed off to 7 peaks!

Didn't get any pictures actually swimming because it is to hard to have a camera!! After 7 peaks, we enjoyed a movie, dinner, and a milkshake! What a fabulous day!!

On Sunday my Mom made me a favorite dinner and dessert! This is my all time favorite dessert!!

How can I possibly be 26 years old?? Thanks to everyone who made my day special!

Garner Family Reunion

I was so excited to have a Garner family reunion this year!! They don't happen very often...

This is the group picture. Sadly, everyone who came late isn't in it. Of my Dad's 5 brothers and sisters, only 1 wasn't able to make it.

We did a lot of talking...

A lot of sliding... I wish I pictures of the adults sliding!

Of course we did a lot of eating too! Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Salmon, Homemade Root Bear, and tons of salads, and desserts! SO YUMMY!

We celebrated 3 birthdays! Stephanie Hanks, Stephanie Garner, and Debbie Garner!

Bocce Ball was played.

My little family enjoyed the tennis courts!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came! It was so fun to see everyone. We sure missed all those that didn't come.

Pioneer Day

How did you spend your Pioneer Day?

Jeremy spent his taking our bathroom from

this.

to this.

Wish us both luck as we await a new bathroom!

Wheeler Farm

While Heather was busy packing, we took her and Matt's kids to Wheeler Farm! It was a really hot day, but we still had lots of fun!

They have a fabulous new playground which we had to check out first thing!

Then we enjoyed a picnic lunch!

Then we checked out all the animals...

and even held some! YIKES!

What a fun bunch of kids!

Hadley loves having older girl cousins to play with her!

Then we finished off with a tractor ride! So fun!! This is a place I love to go year after year.

Summer Reading Program

I know I've talked about how much our library rocks before, but you are going to hear it again! The Summer reading program was SO AWESOME!!

The theme was "One World, Many Stories." We would go once a week for a 1/2 hour story time!

Then we would get to do a fun craft to take home!

Boston was given a passport and if he read his goal minutes...

He got to spin the prize wheel!! The prizes were fabulous like free kids meals, free ice cream, free movie passes and more! On the last day they turned in their passports for a free book!! Boston loves "library school!" I am so lucky to have the best library ever!

Armatage Family Reunion Day 1

Although this was over a month ago, and I wanted to get it journaled!

My Mom was in charge of her family reunion this year. We were going to go up to Monte' Cristo, but because of SNOW we had to scramble to find another place. Luckily my Aunt Myrna was able to reserve FMC park in Pocatello, ID for our adventure!

After getting camp set up and exploring the fun park equipment we were treated to Grandma's Store!! Always a highlight for the kids and adults!

Boston was THRILLED with his Potato Gun "purchase!"

Jeremy and Boston even enjoyed some volleyball with the cousins!

I love getting away and spending time with each other, and in this case, tons of family!

One thing about the Armatage family reunion is that we eat GORMET camping meals. It is impossible to go hungry! So after an amazing dinner, we had a photo opportunity! Jeremy and I made this "Pirate Boat" and brought some dress-ups, and Cassie took the pictures! It was so fun watching everyone get their pictures taken!

Armatage Family Reunion Day 2

Day 2 was filled with fun!

Young and Old enjoyed the "Classic Playground!" The large swings, the merry-go-round, teeter-totters, and slides!

One of my favorite parts is everyone putting their chairs in a circle and just visiting, and visiting, and visiting.

In the afternoon we headed to the pool!

We had so much fun!

I just love this picture of Jeremy and Hadley helping transport wood!

Dinner was once again Delicious! Especially with these 3 cookin' up the chicken!

Armatage Reunion Day 3

Day 3 started out a little bit chilly and windy...

Daddy took Hadley girl for an early morning walk and had fun taking pictures!

Because we were going to Pocatello I knew we would have at least 2 windy day, so I brought a long a couple of kites. The kids had so much fun flying them!

Peyton and Hadley playing with their Grandma Store treasures. So cute!

My Mom planned an awesome treasure hunt for the kids! They all loved it, and especially loved their individual treasure boxes filled with Candy!

Boston and all the other little boys enjoyed playing lots of ball together!

Bocce Ball made an entrance into the reunion... I think it will be back again. The Men seemed to really enjoy it!

Day 3 night was Pirate night! We decorate for a pirate dinner, and everyone was told to dress up! I Made these shirts using the Freezer Paper Stencil Method. I thought they turned out pretty awesome.

I loved listening to Hadley go around camp saying "RRRrrr Matey!"

What a bunch of silly pirates!
-
That night Jeremy and I were in charge of the Minute to Win it game! I think everyone had a blast, and there was tons of laughter!! Here are some of my favorite pictures!

"Noodling Around"

"Paper Scraper"

"Suck it Up"

"Face the Cookie"

"Caddy Stack"

"Breakfast Scramble"

"Hook"

I loved the pirate theme, and we totally had a blast playing it up!
