BABY #5
WOW! Over a month ago we found out we are expecting another baby (estimated due date April 13, 2010 - only one day from my birthday)
I created a scavenger hunt to share the news with family:
TASK #1
Go to a grocery store and purchase the following (you can buy generic if you would like):
1. Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Ready-to-Bake (you know, with the ready-to-bake cookies)
2. Milk
(after purchase, open next TASK)
****** ****** ***** ***** *****
TASK #2
Go home and bake the cinnamon rolls in your oven (follow directions on packaging)
(after you put them in the oven, open next TASK)
****** ****** ***** ***** *****
TASK #3
While they are baking, call me. If you don't get a hold of me, open next TASK
****** ****** ***** ***** *****
TASK #4
You have a bun in the oven. So do I! Yep! #5 on the way!

SUMMER CAMP 2009
The 1st Annual Calvary Tabernacle Family Summer Camp
June 28 - July 3
Smiley Creek, Idaho
We packed, piled up and headed over Galena Summit (about 2 hours). Then, about 4 miles down a dusty road, we come to our campsite. About 8 familes spent the week fellowshipping, boating, dirt bike riding, shooting and just hangin' out. A couple evenings, after dark, we put up a big screen and played preaching DVDs. WE HAD CHURCH IN THE MOUNTAINS! It was fabulous!
We pitched our large tent and set up camp. Bummer there were no bathrooms...this was full on roughin' it. We did bring a port-a-potty for the ladies and small children. That helped. The week was fun (except the mosquitos - those are NEVER fun).
Here are some pictures from our week.
Our first night around the campfire, Jeff got out his guitar and Emily LOVED to sing.

On the dirt road meant we all could get out of the car seats. Eventually all the kidos ended up in the front with me and Jeff.
Three little ones all tucked in.

Emily and Jared play a child version of horseshoes one afternoon. Emily had to wear her new bike helmet (pink Barbie)!

Katie loved to play with Effie's kitten.

One afternoon, we headed to Alturus Lake for some boating. The water was so cold (it is directly from the snow covered mountains). Jeff actually knee boarded!

Dirt bikes were a big part of our camp week. Even the little ones had theirs with training wheels. Kadon (3rd), got a new dirt bike just days before the trip. So, as a surprise to Jared, he gave his "old" one to Jared. Jared was so excited that he hugged his neck! It took a few days for Jared to get comfortable, but you should see him now. (from left to right: Effie, Miguel, Kadon, Jared)

ANOTHER RAINY DAY
A June Sunday brought a huge thunderstorm. It was actually a flash flood. It was warm outside and the rain was pouring. The girls put on their puddle boots and headed for the puddles. It was so much fun, I had to join them. If you remember, about 2 years ago, Jared and I took a trip to the puddles during a summer rain storm.
When the storms of life come, learn to DANCE IN THE RAIN!
