Happy Birthday!

Kenton is officially nineteen today. Kenton is an avid book collector and we all agreed that, along with missionary stuff, books would be the best for him because they would last a long time. For birthday dinner he requested Shepherds Pie and for cake he wanted Fruit Pizza. Mom and I worked hard to make everything possible and it all turned out great! Happy Birthday Kenton :)

Michaud Cabin

This week was the kids spring break. We had been wanting to get away to the cabin for a while and Thursday we decided it was time to go! Dad was a trooper and drove up that night. Joycelyn and Celeste came up Friday morning.

We had many great adventures! Dad and the boys went fishing and have a marvelous time. Aunt Judy, Mom and us older girls helped clean up the Farm House. Dad did him part of making a fire and getting the tv to work. Joycelyn even found a bat while vacuuming! She immediately called for Katie to come get it. We dusted, swept vacuumed and clean that place from top to bottom.

Then we went to a next door mountain that is full of crystals. We all had a great time playing in the dirt and searching for treasure.

It was surprisingly fun and entertained us for hours. We dug in the dirt with a hammer and a screwdriver (found in my car emergency kit!).

Carefully jumping across the creek. The water was freezing so we didn't swim this timeIts a good size waterfall.

Also on this trip he family went up to Eager for Jesse Adam's farewell. We stayed at Johnny and Karri's cabin along with several other families. It was so nice to visit around the fire and reminisce.
