oops

Ok the first picture in the last post was actually of Moira and Brenton as he was trashing the living room or as he calls it 'preparing for yet another scout trip'. And the picture attached here is of the kids and Brenton's mother Sherie at the falls on the way to the Matson reunion. It is late can you tell?

Matson Reunion 2010

We had a great time in Mid June at Idaho Falls with Brenton's mom on our way to the Matson family reunion which was just up the road near Rigby. The kids loved the falls and seeing Sherie's old stomping grounds, she and Herb were married in the Idaho Falls Temple. The farmer's market was fun but Hugh was pretty sure the guy with the pet wolf had 'a problem in his head', such a rancher's grandson. He also pointed out that wolves eat sheep and that is bad! The Matson homestead is still in the family and we were blessed to go on a sort of home grown tour of the area with some of the cousins, it was amazing and perfect. I have more cool pictures somewhere and will post them at some random point in time as I seem to be doing lately. The cute little boy with Hugh is Matt, Dee and Mary's grandson (cousins basically).

Ok, so it is no longer December 2009 but these skating pictures were too fun to leave languishing on my computer drive. Our neighbors the Wellings built a huge skating rink in their side yard and invited the whole town to stop by and skate whenever. They had us and several other families come for Family home evening and it was about 5 degrees outside! The kids had never skated before, Liam buckled down and pretty much taught himself, Cody was a natural, Moira did better than she will admit and the Leroy taught Hugh how to skate by having him push an old school chair around. Hugh and his little friend quickly discovered that snow boots are much steadier and therefore faster than skates and proceeded to tear all over the ice! What amazing neighbors we have. This makes all the mosquito bites I just got out in the lamb pens a little less itchy and my smile a little brighter.
