Happy Birthday Madisyn!

My little Princess turned 4 years old on October 14th. I can't believe this little chicken that almost didn't make it at birth is 4 years old and healthy. We had a Tinkerbell themed party. I don't know why. It just was a last minute decision because we went to pick out Madisyn's cake and she chose Tinkerbell so the rest of the party decorations kind of followed the theme.



We also had the kids paint pumpkins for the birthday party. The kids really had a good time making a mess and all of the pumpkins turned out really cute!

Summer, Summer, Summer!

Well Summer is finally over! I don't really find this to be a good thing but I live in Idaho so it is what it is. This summer has been a blast. The kids and Shane and I went on our annual camping trip in Cascade Idaho. It was beautiful! The spot we go to has a private lake that is just gorgeous. It is so nice to get away from the cell phones, TVs, etc. at least once a year.
The lake at the campsite we go to I don't know how they do it, but it seems like the minute the kids step out of the car they are instantly black from being so dirty. This makes me crazy! I think I need a camp trailer so that I can give the kids a bath each night. But for now we are hard core tent campers.

Shane and I also went to the Journey/Heart concert this summer. It was a lot of fun...but very loud! I know I am getting old when I go to a concert and complain that is was too loud. Heart was surprisingly awesome. It was a little weird to see the lead singer of Journey because he is a little Asian rocker from the Philippians. The rest of the band is still old school looking. It was fun though!
