Mustache Party

For Jake's birthday he wanted to celebrate the big 3-0 in style with a MUSTACHE PARTY! i don't really know why, but Jake has a thing about mustaches. Anyway it ended up being a lot of fun. everyone who came in had to be sporting some sort of mustache...real, fake, drawn on...anything. this included women and children as well. it was fun to see what people came up with. we also made our famous HOME MADE ROOTBEER and had rootbeet floats. yumm! thanks everyone for coming and helping us celebrate this exciting birthday with Jake!

GiRLS CaMP 2010!!!

so last week was GIRLS CAMP, and it was such a Blast!! i just wish i would have been able to be there the whole time...but with a baby and all, that made it kind of hard. i was the camp director again this year and was able to g up for 2 days of camp...all day Tuesday and Thursday. it was so much fun. the girls in our ward are so amazing and we always have such a great time together. but being a new mommy again, it was nice to come home and see my boys...kind of the best of both worlds. strangely enough, i DID miss the crazy late night sleep overs. that's when some of the craziest moments always happen! i never stayed the night there...i would drive home late and get home between midnight and 2 in the morning, but it was totally worth it.we had a super cute Baseball theme..."A league of their own!" most of my ward girls are in this picture, but we are missing a few. we had 20 girls from our ward go!me and another leader Laurai fell in love with this cute girl that week!...LOVE YOU HALEY! so as it turned out...some of the camp water was pretty nasty, as we found out first hand!
awesome lessons!thanks for yet another FABULOUS year girls! girls camp rocks!

Pretend City

Carrie, Mark and Kaylie have been in town visiting and we have been having so much fun with them. One of the days they were here, we went to this cute new children's museum called PRETEND CITY. it is this cute whole city just for kids. there is a grocery store, a bank, fire station and much more. the kids had a blast dressing up and playing in the "pretend city!" Farmer Boy Blaine...back to his roots....born in Idaho!cousin Kaylie picking some applesKaylie dressed up and danced on stage....she was doing cute little twirls...and Blaine controlled the lights on the stage. Grandpa California would be proud!of course Blaine had to go to the doctor dress up...since that is what he wants to be when he grows up!and little Ty slept through it all!
