Summer 2014 Trip in McCall Idaho!

 This summer trip was soooo much fun!  We got to stay in this great cabin right on the lake. This was seriously one of the funnest vacations, we had so much fun that we decided to do this every other year.  We are so blessed to have each other and be a part of this family.

 We got a lot of use out of Devin's kayak.  Devin spent hours in it, not sure why I don't have a picture of him kayaking, but the boys and everyone else there also took a turn.


 The girls spent a lot of time floating on tubes, and of course took our turn on the boat.
 The kids did a lot of fishing.  Brennon especially found out that he loved fishing on this trip.  He literally spent hours fishing out on the dock.  Uncle Jeff was very helpful with this activity.

Dad on Grandpa duty.  Ezra really liked hanging out with Grandpa!
 And what would a get together with the Arnold's be without food. Yay, that would never happen, we really love food!

 My brothers!  We had a lot of fun just sitting out on the deck and visiting.  We all live in different places so it was so fun to be together and all be away from our homes.  Seemed to allow everyone to be able to relax and just enjoy being together.
These kids had so much fun on the boat! Thanks to uncle Cory for making sure there was a boat there.

Keaton Loves Animals!

 Keaton and Pepper!
 Keaton has a soft spot for animals.  He loves to learn about animals and take care of them. Each summer Keaton spends a week at farm camp and loves it, he looks forward to it every year.

Keaton is 8 and got Baptized!

 This little boy is 8, time goes way too fast. For his birthday this year he got a new playstation, the old one finally died after 8 years.  Keaton was one happy boy!
 Keaton's Baptism day was wonderful.  We are so proud of Keaton and the boy he has become.



 We were so blessed to have family come visit for Keaton's baptism, it was a wonderful day.  After his baptism we went for a picnic in Springdale, and then went hiking in Zion's. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed spending some time outdoors!

Brennon is 10!

I can't believe this sweet boy is 10! Brennon got a nice new bike for his birthday this year (should have taken a picture of that) and then we had some friends over for cake. Brennon is a great kid, and we sure do love having him as our son! We love you!

Brennon's 1st Science Project

Brennon participated in the science fair this year, him and Devin worked on this together. I believe it had something to do with how many amps you needed to power a hand held flashlight. They had fun working together.

Easter 2014

 Easter this year was fun! It's always fun eating the Easter candy we shouldn't.


Devin's 34th Birthday

Devin is 34! For is birthday Devin chose a chinese restaurant in town that I have NOT been eager to try.  He knew if he chose it for his birthday dinner though that I couldn't complain, he is a wise man!  We have now celebrated 13 of his birthdays together and each year I grow to love him even more, Devin you are very loved! You are a wonderful husband and father.

Christmas 2013

Our first Christmas in our new home was a full one.  We were blessed to have my parents, Bryce, Trenton, Macall, Ammon, and Ezra come for Christmas.  We had a great time and enjoyed the holidays together.
 Keaton once again asked for skylaners for Christmas, but this year it was "Skylander Giants!"
 Big moment for Brennon, he got an ipod!

 It was a lot of fun having little ones around for the holidays, we really enjoyed Ammon & Ezra.
 As you can see, receiving a tie was common this Christmas!
