Lagoon and Byu
We left early Sat. Morning with a caravan of two cars. Dad and I in one car and Lauren, Troy, Corden and Calvin in the other. We went straight to Lagoon and spent the day there. The kids were all thrill seekers and went on all the scary rides. They even paid extra to go on the one that they hoist you way up in the air and drop you. They free fall until the cable catches you and then you look like you are flying high in the air. Dad and I took in the haunted house and the bumper cars and the performances. We loved watching the kids.
When we were all exhausted we went to Wilma and Merlins and spent the night. We went to church the next day and visited all day. Tara and her new baby boy came for a visit. Pam and Jeff stopped by and we enjoyed the whole day.
The next day we went to BYU and dropped Troy off at his new apartment. We traveled home and got home safe.
The next Wednesday Boise schools started and my youngest son started his first day as a Senior in High School. Thus, starts the ....this is the last time..........saga.
More Carnival pictures
The face painting was a hit. Corden, Lauren and Calvin all joined in the fun and helped out!
The Fuhrimans visit the Fuhrimans
David, Leticia, Gene and Jeremiah all visited Boise. We enjoyed their visit very much!! Leticia's sister Emi had a baby girl and they came for the blessing. I had Oma day and put on a carnival for the kids. We had all kinds of games and they won tickets for participation. Then, they bought their lunch with their tickets. Here is the hula hoop contest and the face painting. We enjoyed playing with Jeremiah. He reminds me so much of David when he was a baby. He is very sweet and affectionate.
Happy Birthday Krew!
Woody and Buzz. Those two words conjure up a lot of images. Most of them were represented at Krew's 2nd birthday party. There were aliens, cowboys and a space ship. It started with decorating a cowboy vest to go along with the hats and neckerchief. Then, we galloped on our pretend horses. We ate our aliens and finished with destroying the galactic pinata filled with candy and toys. Krew got his own Woody and Buzz and lots of toys from his friends he was leaving in Rexburg.

June 2010
I hosted book club June 3rd. It was an outside potluck party. I had to make sure our yard was presentable. Then, the weatherman said it was going to rain so I had to clean the inside of the house too!
I had my dance recital on June 5th. It turned out wonderful. I was so pleased. Then, we went to Rexburg for Barton Graham's blessing. Diedre and Brandon were such wonderful hosts for all of us crashing at their place.
The next week I worked for Waddell and Reed. On that Tuesday night I trained for cub scout day camp. On Friday of that week I took 10 girls to Angie and Kents cabin for the overnighter. We had dutch oven chicken and cobbler. We played games, studied the stars and had a devotional. Early the next morning we took them in the truck to overlook the valley. We also got to hike a bit. That morning we cooked our eggs on a tin can stove for breakfast. Mike, Bishop Schley and Kent taught the girls how to shoot guns. Then, they went out in nature to draw what they saw. We had lunch and came home.
On Tuesday I taught a class at cubscout day camp so I worked all day Monday. On Friday we had our ward camp out. Dad, Destenee and I all shared a talent there. Adam and Kim and family camped with us. We roasted hotdogs, hiked, had a program and put our feet in the hotsprings. We had a nice breakfast and enjoyed the outdoors together while Thomas played in the fire.
The next week on Tuesday I went to pack meeting and presented the arrow of light. I dress up like an Indian and do this fun presentation.
On Monday the 28th I headed to girls camp and stayed until Thursday. I was the 4th year leader. I endured hot sun, storms, classes, food (mostly good but they only had white bread yuk) singing crazy songs, sleeping on cots, no showers and lots of noise. I enjoyed the sweet girls, the skits, the devotionals and testimonials and finally getting to do something besides sit when we got to clean the bathrooms. I did all the toilets. I enjoyed talking and the beautiful scenery.
Also during the month I attended an extra sacrament meeting to listen to Troy speak. Enjoyed Fathers day. Went to the Presbyterian church before sacrament meeting to listen to Jill Gertje play her flute. So wonderful. We made a trip t o Weiser to drop Corden off for Northwest Youth Corp. Had Destenee spend the night and travel to Weiser with us. Had Thomas spend the night and go to cub scout camp with me. Had Isabel come for the day and go to Discovery Center, play in the little pool enjoy her cuteness. Went to my moms to write family histories and last but not least went and visited Corden up above Idaho City for the evening. He has one week left. I didn't think I would endure the month but here it is July..........
