A Toothless Grin and A Bright Blue Miracle!

Bekah lost her two front teeth!

She looks so cute.
She had me pull out the 1st one and then she did the 2nd one all by herself.
She was very proud of herself and thought the blood was really cool. Now all we have to do is get her to STOP sucking her thumb before her new teeth grow back! Any suggestions?!

I just read a great book!

I wasn't too sure I would like it, and at first it had way to much DRAMA! However, after reading it I thought it had all the makings of a great book. It makes you laugh, cry, and get mad at the crazy characters. I was so involved with the story, I was sad to see it end. I recommend it to everyone! It is an easy, clean, romantic~ish read. Also it's written by our hometown gal, Becca Wilhite. You Go Girl!

It's April! Isn't It?

Crazy UTAH Weather, we are having!

The tree's are really pretty, but it's past the 1st Day of Spring.

Yes! That is SNOW! It's not blossoms!

Easter Rendezvous!

Our 1st Rendezvous of 2009.
Easter Rendezvous at Fort B. in Ogden.

In the morning the Civil War re-enacters present the colors of the United States.

They parade through camp,

and have a gun salute.

Check out the fire in the picture.

Camp Life!

We put the end walls in the middle this time, so that we could have a little bit of shade, and it worked out great!

Lyn, Weston, and Bekah getting the fire started.

It may seem like a lot of work to do for a vacation, but it's very relaxing too.
Kids Games!

Weston giving it a try.
Everyday around 10 a.m. they have kids games. The kids get to learn things about Rendezvous, try out new games and usually make something. This year the kids made "Bear claw" necklaces.

Family, Friends, and Fun!

Pile on Ray!

New Best Friends

Bella, Isiah, and Bekah
These 3 had a great time at Rendezvous, Bekah loved leading Isiah around(he is blind), and telling him about what she was seeing, and letting him hold bugs that she found. I think Bella enjoyed just playing. They all got along great and had fun including Isiah in their games.

Of course my kids always find some teenagers to hang out with.
