Sunday at the Park

So....on Sunday, April 19, we went with the Pincock family to take Riley's senior picture and to also take some family pictures. My entire family went as well. We took pictures at an old barn, at the bridge near St. Anthony, on the river, and finally at the park in St. Anthony. We had a good time enjoying each other's company, and the kids had a great time playing. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon in the Spring.

Buddy's 7th Birthday

Yesterday (April 22) was Buddy's 7th birthday. He wanted an "Indiana Jones" themed birthday party, so that is what we did. Grandma & Grandpa Papenfuss were there along with, Caleb, Kailey, Kirstie, and Lisa Papenfuss; Toby, Mistie, Kiera, Braxton and Ryker Searle, Ty & Kathleen, and finally Karen, Tara, Cede, and Olivia Hilder. Buddy got a real bow & arrow set, a leather bull whip -- which most everyone tried out -- some with better results than others, and miscellaneous other gifts & money. I can't believe my little boy is growing up! We also had a wonderful cake made by a friend. It was a fantastic day!

Easter 2009

We stayed home for Easter this year. The kids participated in the Easter Egg Hunt in Teton at the school. Saturday night we colored eggs and didn't even make too much of a mess. Sunday we dressed up and went to church, then went to Grandma & Grandpa's house to take pictures. After that we went home, the kids went through their Easter Baskets, changed clothes, and waited for the "daddy" Easter Bunny to hide eggs outside. It was a fun, spring break, Easter weekend.

On Monday, we went to the Museum of Idaho to view the Titanic Exhibit. The kids loved it -- especially the part where they got to put their hands on an iceburg. We also received a boarding pass when we entered with the name, class, and description of a passenger. At the end, we had to look them up and see if they survived. It was a great experience!
