Griz Homecoming 2009

View Full Album

It was FREEZING cold the day of the Griz Homecoming parade. We bundled up the best we could but only lasted a little while.  I actually bribed Laynee with being able to go pick any toy she wanted so we could leave the parade.  Lucky for me she chose a $10 Barbie and McKinley followed her example.

Sandpoint Music Festival

We got tickets to one of the concerts at The Festival at Sandpoint Idaho. The Spokane Symphony was playing the night we went. It was definitely an interesting experience. I think if we go again we will stay the night in Sandpoint instead of driving back after the  concert.  However, we just enjoyed being together.

We went to the fair with our good friends, The Starks.  Laynee loved being able to go on the rides with Kyla Stark.  McKinley only rode on one ride, but she would have gone on EVERY ride if I had let her.  What a little dare devil!  It was a really hot day and both kids got sunburned, but besides that it was great.

Sorry the pics are so small. I copied them from Facebook and it won't let me make them bigger.

Day at the Park

I love playing with my kids at the park. They are such a fun age.

Splash Montana

I took the girls to Splash Montana twice this last summer. Both times we went, the girls loved it.

Don't I look happy?

Our families

Darrel and I were married on July 22, 2009 by our Bishop, Bishop Brown, at Greenough Park. I pretty much bucked the entire system when we got married. I didn't wear white, have flowers or invite a whole lot of people to come. We knew our friends would have come to support us, but I wanted it to just be family. We were grateful for all our family who came. It was a really exciting and fun day for us. I'm a lucky girl to have found someone so quickly who is so amazing.
