Crowther Reunion 2011

We went back to the Ranch in Soda Springs for my family reunion with my siblings and their families. We rode the horses again, made smores, played in the river, and jumped on the trampoline. I was proud of myself for doing a flip on the trampoline for the first time in decades. I also did something that I was always too scared to do as a kid.....I jumped off the bridge into the river. I know it doesn't sound really impressive, but it was a demon that haunted me for being too chicken as a kid. Anyway, it was really fun.

We spent the last day at Bear Lake. I love Bear Lake. The whole thing is just cool. Being able to walk out hundreds of yards and still be able to touch is so cool. The kids had a blast with cousins and it was the perfect way to end the family reunion.

visiting "Denver" friends while in Ida

We love catching up with old Denver friends while in Idaho. I love that the kids play together the way they use to every day when we lived next door and I especially love to hang out with my building M girls (we missed you Tifani).

Corbridge Reunion 2011

We had lots of family reunions this summer and the first one was my Mom's family. We went to my mom's family's ranch in Soda Springs. The kids had tons of fun on the trampoline, in the barn, on the horses and on the hay ride.

cute boys

Here's a couple random pictures from this summer. My boys play so well together most of the time and can often be found hugging or snuggling.

Brant was so excited to see my Dad every day that he would just wait somewhere for him to get home and a couple of times his tiredness got the better of him. He fell asleep waiting for Grandpa to get home.

Aisley Mae

I know I added a lot of pictures of this event, but I was very excited about Jared's sister having her first baby. I took the kids up to Rexburg on the 16th of July since Sara was scheduled for induction on the 18th. When we got there she was in the beginning stages of labor. I have never seen anyone in labor before, so it was really fun to be there. Sara went into the hospital that night and had Aisley Mae Forbush the next morning. Sara did awesome and Aisely is the sweetest thing. I was really surprised to see how sweet and sensitive Mason was around the baby. He was so giddy to see her that he could barely contain his excitement. He wanted to have his picture taken with her over and over. YAY for new cousins!

more summer in Idaho

One of the funnest part of visiting my parents is my dad's water turn. The cousins all have a lot of fun splashing in the water as it irrigates my dad's lawn. They even put the slip n slide out and made up a 'water dance' to music that was very entertaining. My Dad lets them go with him to "help" check the ditches and they think they are very important. All in a days work in Malad.
