Father's Day 2008

This year Fathers Day was kind of low key.  We had conference at church and then had dinner at our house with my parents and Corbin's mom, LaVerda, my grandpa, and Aunt Sandy.

Corbin and our beautiful girls

Yeah, we got a family pic that is actually pretty cute!

Corbin has gotten back into golfing so he got golf balls and several nice golf shirts.

Great Wolf Lodge May 2008

This year for Memorial Day we made the drive up to Kansas City to meet Corbin's brother Carter and his family at the Great Wolf Lodge.  The girls had a blast swimming, going to water slides, eating at T-Rex restaurant, jumping on the bunk beds in the hotel room, and playing with their cousins; Elliott, Gwynie, and Maddie.

Mother's Day

This year for Mother's Day Sarah flew in for the weekend.  It was a great Mother's Day.  The girls, with the help of Corbin got me a gift card to landscape the house.  What a wonderful opportunity to celebrate mother's.

LaVerda's pre mother day celebration

This year LaVerda had a wonderful Mother's day celebration out at her house.   There was plenty of food, fun and riding four-wheelers.  All the cousins had a ball.  Elvis was the big hit with his singing and dancing.  Everyone wanted to get pics with him.  Here are a few pics of the event.

Sydney's favorite part of Easter egg hunts is finding the eggs and eating what is in them.

Mom and Dad

This year we had everyone over to our house.  I was a little nervous at first knowing we were feeding 28 people but of course I set the tables and provided the house and the moms did the rest.  It turned out perfect and all the kids had a great time hunting Easter eggs and playing inside and out.  We miss our family who couldn't be here with us.  We were delighted to share scriptures of Christ and FOOD with our family and friends.  Happy Easter!!!
