Celebrating Nat's birthday. . .

We celebrated Natalie's birthday last night.

She is going to be gone to Utah on  her birthday so

we choose to celebrate just a bit early.  

We had yummy sweet and sour meat balls and

ice cream cones for desert.  (So Natalie)

Our whole family was there but I didn't

get pictures soon enough, Sam, Hailey

and Jenna had already gone home.

 Emily and Natalie

 Almost our whole family!

Not too sure I'm loving using my phone for pictures. . . 

The eyes are not looking too well.  

We love you Natalie.  We wish you the

best birthday ever!  

Activity Day

Yesterday was our Activity Day for these cute girls!

We went to the Idaho Falls Visitor's Center.

What a treat and it was so easy!

As we walked in we were greeted so warmly and I 

immediately felt the spirit.

The sister missionary showed us the beautiful paintings

on display there and the girls were just so reverent.

I think they felt what I was feeling.

We enjoyed a beautiful movie on the 

importance of families.

It was so neat and the girls enjoyed it so.

Such a fun, easy activity.

(I still think my calling is the best kept secret)

P.S.  We even had two non members there with friends.

Oh, I love my calling!  

Rexburg Temple

Matt has been getting back into taking pictures again.

I love it!

Here's a recent photo he took of the Rexburg Temple.

Isn't it just beautiful?

He has a real eye for this kind of stuff.

Sun Valley

This past week end, we got to go to SunValley and enjoy

some family time together.  Sam did all the planning and  we had

so much fun.  Thanks Sam, for a fun filled week end.

We left Friday afternoon and picked Sam up out at work.

We then had dinner in Arco and then headed off to 

Sun Valley.

We had a nice relaxing evening just playing games and

hanging out.

Our Condo was so nice and so comfortable!

We got up Saturday morning and  hit the slopes!

 I loved being on top of the mountain and seeing the valley below, just beautiful!

 Felt like we could see forever!

 Notice how there is Zero snow in the Valley!

 Our only group picture and Wynn is taking it so he isn't in it.  We are also missing Hailey and Jenna.
Hailey stayed behind and didn't ski but spent the day with Jenna.  She made us lunch and met us at the base.  I felt kind of bad that she stayed behind but so glad she came.  Sometimes it is so hard to take a baby and do things but Hailey and Jenna were both troopers this trip.

 As you can see, very little snow!  Totally Spring skiing.

 A picture taken from the top floor of our condo, looking down.

 Yup, we really saw Arnold Schwarzenegger.  He is in the green coat.  Didn't see him on the hill but we did see him getting on the lift.  Kind of exciting!

 Our little Jenna being so cute. . .

 We came home the scenic route on Sunday and Matt took these pictures, just had to share.

Such a fun week end, I loved it.
