Couples Golf 2014

We started off the round of golf watching the man in front of us make a hole in one. He had the perfect audience because all of us are such great cheerleaders. The guys all gave him a pat on the back and we tried to make a super big deal about it. We enjoyed the 9 holes and did husbands then girls every other stroke. We tried making wagers, but never came close to winning anything. We all had some good laughs and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and great company. We then hit Big Hole BBQ for dinner. I love this time with my family and have the best brother-in-laws ever. Love them all so much.

Cannon's 10th Birthday Driggs

 All the kids are getting so big we almost didn't make it through everyone with the pinata. We are going to have to find something else next year for this group.

 We invited as many family members as we could for the party. Grandma and Grandpa Rammell came for the afternoon.

 We were all really careful with James after his scare at the pool.

I love this boy so much and am so happy to have him part of our family. He was so excited this year to get to golf with the dads for his birthday with his cousins. He loves being able to celebrate his birthday in Driggs with so much family around. Cannon is caring and kind, smart and talented, Bright and funny. He loves to give hugs and hates that he is the only boy so he has to sleep in his own room. He is still the kid that has nightmares/terrors and sleeps with the light on. He is tender yet brave and we sure do love having him around.

 Cannon and Oliver wanted to take a little swim break to play some tennis.

I love days spent with all my family at the pool in the Idaho sunshine. The guys of course were off golfing. This was the day that James had a seizure at the pool with Ashlee in the locker room while the rest of us were in the pool area. They call 911, but we were able to find the dads and Michael came and gave him a blessing. He ended up being alright, but it was quite the scare for all of us.

Cub Scout Day Camp 2014

I got to go to day camp with Cannon as a leader and it was super fun. The boys in my group were all pretty well behaved and enjoyed being around each other...until it was a time to play chess. Man those boys were serious about chess and wanting to be the best. They all killed me. Cannon loved archery and the bb guns, of course. He was less excited about the crafts and the geology each day. We got to make popcorn over the fire and made some campfire slugs that were really good (crescent rolls dipped in cinnamon and sugar). I wasn't able to attend on Wednesday and it was the day it pour rain all day, but Cannon still had a good time. This was his final year because he will be 11 for this summer so it was great to end it on such a high note.

Last Day of School June 2014

 All the kids before they headed off to school for the last day. Cannon is wearing his puff paint shirt he made. The kids were trying to tell me about the paint say things like, "it is paint that goes on clothes, but it sticks up." I felt like they knew nothing about me...I informed them I had used puff paint before and yes we could go to Micheal's and get some for an art project. They thought I was super awesome.
It was Miya's last day of elementary school so we needed to get a picture of her walking out the door she was in front of in a picture on her first day of kindergarten. We got her and Jeriah and Mr. Wilkenson photo bombed it. She had so many great experiences at Tillicum Elementary and it was so amazing to have her finish there and terrifying to think of her moving into Jr. High.

She is the cutest girl which such a sweet and kind heart.
