A Nice Day for a Wedding

So, not only did we visit Grandpa and Grandma...but we attended a wedding for Tom's 2nd cousin Jeff Chamberlin.  Tom wasn't able to come due to work...but the kids and I came as I got to make their wedding cake. 

Thanks to Grandma for letting me take over her kitchen for 2 days ;)

Jeff and Brooke arrive at the reception...buggy style ;)

Hot Tub Fun

Kolby didn't want to get in....he said,"Why would I want to get in the hot tub, it's like 85 degrees outside."
Grandpa agreed with him ;)

Come on Derrick...you can float too

Helping Grandpa & Nana (up the river)

The big kids and dad were at camp...so I took Derrick and Clara and Smokey of course up to my parent's house to help with putting rocks around and staining cabins in preparation for their 25 year celebration of being at Spring Creek

My first Cake Class!!



ALACCA Bible Camp 2012
(A Lighthouse And Christ Centered Always)
Kassidy's first year of going--there ended up only being 4 girls signed up for the week she was there!




Kolby also went as it goes by the school grade you're going into- so it was the "345 Camp"
TOM also went.....he got signed up as a Cabin Leader-just not of Kolby's cabin
There were 2 cabins of boys to the one cabin of girls :)
