Mom and Dad's Birthday

Dad had his Birthday on the 2nd of this month and my mom had hers on the 11th! For Dad’s special treat we had stuffed mushrooms, and Dad got Mom a dozen of roses for mom’s gift! Here are some pictures of them.

Thanksgiving!

This is quite a bit late but here we go! My family and I spent time with each other on Thanksgiving. We made the dinner together and let mom rest after making the Turkey. Our dinner was fabulous, like always, with dressing, seven layer salad, mash potatoes, green beans with dried French onions on them, Turkey, and the Pumpkin and Pecan pie! We played with each other the rest of the day. We also got around to playing one of our favorite board games, Settlers of Catan, which Bethany ended up winning fair and square. You can see more pictures here.

English Country Dancing at the Idaho Historical Museum

Bethany and I were asked to be apart of some dancing at the Idaho Historical Museum's Fund raiser with the Idaho Civil War Volunteers. It was last Saturday at 6:30pm - 9:30pm! The Museum provided refreshments and all we had to do it dance! It was a very fun and exhausting evening!

Idaho Historical Museum Comes to Life

Today Bethany and I were apart of the Museum comes to life with the ICWV (Idaho Civil War Volunteers). There were booths set up for all kinds of different eras! It was a really neat experience to be apart of. We also did some ECD (English Country Dancing) while we were there as apart to the display.

Leah's Birthday Party

Happy 8th Birthday Leah! We went to Settlers Park to have Leah's Birthday party. They had fun getting wet and playing around on the playground. Bethany made a wonderful cake for Leah. She spent a whole day on it and it looks amazing!

Leah loves her Doodle pad and draws in it when ever she has spare time!

Cute Little Noahy!

Doesn't that look really good?

Oh and it tasted really good too! :D

CERT

I got a pretty nasty looking wound on my arm!

I was helping out a CERT training team by being a victim! It was so awesome to get all fixed up and bloody. I think that the CERT team went pretty slow and needs more work.

4th of July

I always love celebrating the 4th of July!!! This year we went over to the Prices' house to celebrate. We had fun playing Ultimate Frisbee, Eating, and just fellowshipping with each other. After it got dark we started up the fireworks. It was really fun to see them go off! All of us just love those little 'throw it on the ground and they go pop' crackers!

Sparklers are always a favorite!

Eagle Island Civil War Reenactment

Last week on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday was a Civil War Reenactment put on by the Idaho Civil War Volunteers. Bethany, Michaela and I (Caleb) went and volunteered and helped out where they needed it. The weather was a lot better than last year. It didn't rain but it wasn't sunny until Saturday.

Cute little Noah!

They would fire the cannon off every few hours so that all of the kids could see it in action.

No Photoshop editing here!

Matt was the drill instructor and tried to teach the volunteer group how to drill. He really plays the part really well. To put it in perspective, I was the best one besides Matt that knew the drills. When he made me go in front of him and go a couple commands, my knees were shaking while I was doing it. :)

It was really fun because when Matt would ask one of the girls how to load a rifle, she would end up laughing and then Matt would end up laughing as well.

Senior Pictures

I had the pleasure of taking senior pictures of a wonderful young lady from our church. It was the best time I have had in a while. Nice to just take pictures of Jenna Fox for half the day.

Thank you Jenna!

Senior Rectial

A few weeks ago I took pictures of three young ladies that were doing their Senior Recital. It was held at the MAF building in Nampa, ID. I got all of the pictures edited and lookin nice! They music was very nicely put together and played.

Victorian Ball

On March 27th of 2010, we went to the 2nd Annual Victorian Civil War Ball. We got to dress up in period dress and dance the night away! Bethany spent lots of time getting ready for the ball. She did her hair as well as Michaela's and Elizabeth Isakson's hair.

Noah and the Chicken Pocks

Noah had his chicken pocks. They were all over him, but now its over! He is very glad of that.

2010 Scholastic Chess Championship

We went to the Scholastic Chess Championship of 2010. We played 5 to 6 games each. In the Overall K-12 Championship section there games were at least 1 hour long. Leah got co-tied for first place in 2nd grade, Michaela dominated 6th grade and took home first place, and Caleb got 2nd place in 10th grade.

Happy Birthday

I am very late at posting this but Happy Birthday Bethany! She had her 17th Birthday on Jan. 27th. She had a tea party at our house with some of her friends. She made her cake and did a beautiful job.
