Battle Creek

We had a great time this Pioneer Day with our cousins who just moved from Texas. We're so excited to have them living so close, and love hanging out with them. We did some dutch oven and Cajun cooking, then hiked Battle Creek, and finished with fireworks. Olivia was an excellent hiker and Ily was brave enough to light some fireworks!

Eight is Great!

Ily is officially 8! We had a fun family birthday dinner and later surprised her with a new trampoline in the back yard. She was out there for about 5 minutes before she noticed it! We love Ily and are proud of her. She does excellent in school, takes good care of her sister, and is always concerned about the feelings of others. We are so blessed to have Ily in our family!
