A WEEKEND IN IDAHO

This past weekend, David and I headed up north for a family reunion. We stopped in Bountiful to see some friends and some family on our way. It was really nice to see everyone again. Its not until I am up there that I really miss everyone.

The reunion was in Ririe Idaho. It is close to Rexburg. The first night there, we had a bonfire. My niece Lillie and I went for a walk with my nephew Brent and another cousin Mike. It was close to dark and it was a wooded area and we got a little lost. We were walking through streams and through the tall grass. We had no idea where we were and it was really getting dark and a little scary. We eventually found our way back where everyone was worried and looking for us. oops! I'm supposed to be the responsible grown up. We stayed at Grandma's house in Newdale. It is so beautiful there. We woke up early for a temple session in the Rexburg temple. I never knew decorating in wheat and barley could be so beautiful! It was really beautiful and I really understood that special things can happen there. After the session, we did sealings. It was a really neat experience because I did not remember much of the words from my own sealing to my amazing husband so I got to hear the words and ponder them while they were being spoken. What an amazing religion. The temple is definately where we need to be. There is such a special spirit there.

We had a picnic in the park for the reunion. We ate pig, played volleyball, and had helicopter rides. I have to include this picture. I find the most amazing sights in Idaho. (my family should appreciate this)

my cute nieces!!

To end the great weekend, we stopped to see my little man Caden and little Eric who is becoming such a cutie with a fun personality. Caden had surgery and had a feeding tube put in his stomach to help with his allergies. I was surprised at how up beat he was. I asked him if he liked his little stomach tube and he enthusiastically said yes. He even likes wearing the back pack that holds his feeding pump. He knew I was coming and was so excited, he had to call me on the phone before I came and had to tell me he was excited to see me and when would I be there. So cute!
