FHE Fishin'

This was the extent of Bella's fishing...holding the pole for 5 seconds.

Driving the boat.

Joshy caught his first fish.



Last Monday night, we went up to Strawberry Reservoir to go fishing on Papa's boat. It was nice to be on the water, enjoying the fresh air, scenery and family. It was surprising that Josh caught a fish, because all the kiddos were so loud and stomping around they must have scared away most of the fish. But it was a great way to spend a summer evening.

Boys Will Be Boys



These are the tame ones.....

Girls Camp


I am one of the Young Women's Advisors in our ward. I love my calling. This past week I got to go to girls camp with these cute girls above. I had a great time and felt lucky to get to know these gals better. The theme was "Find the Hero in You." These girls are all heroes to me. They inspire me every week.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Last Friday was Chase's birthday. In true first birthday style, we threw a bash. This is how Chases felt about his birthday, very excited.

The party was a jumping theme. Jump house. Frogs jump. Chase jumps.

Bella jumping before the party.


The treat bags I made.



My good friend Lindsey and Chasers.

We decided to make gourmet burgers for dinner. John had the idea to have everyone fill out an order form and then he, Brad and Matt assembled them. The burgers were excellent! They had the works. Grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, bacon, guacamole. Divine. They were hilarious. When an order was ready, they would yell like, "Courtney Order Up!" Then they put out a tip jar.


A pinata of course.


Enjoying the spoils.

Opening Presents. Everyone spoiled him. I told people he needed "boy toys," and he got them. We now have an excellent selection of trucks, balls, and trains!

How fabulous is this cake....needless to say....I did not make it. Thank you Jill!


"Hey Ho"
"So full....must..take..one..more..bite.."

Bella saying goodbye to her friend, Sadie.

Our great friends, the Allreds and Foulgers, minus Steve.

Bella was so worn out after the festivities, she cuddled into Uncle Kyle.
