Some Idaho Fun

Just a few pictures from the combined birthday party today.

Heading to Idaho

We headed up to Idaho today. We said our goodbyes to cousins and Grandma for the next few years and headed up to see our Lee cousins before we head out to England.

Second Smith Reunion/Lexie's Birthday

Today was the Hyrum Smith Reunion! And Lexie's Birthday!! She's 10! How did that happen so quickly?
We love our Lexie and are so grateful she's in our family! It was nice how everyone made her day special, too, as well as just getting to enjoy all the time we had with family! We're truly so blessed.

Don't worry, she'll have a big party when we get home from all our travels. :)  But we did do a few fun things for her today. And the Armknechts got her some yummy donuts and made a donut tower birthday cake-so fun! She loved it!

 

She opened a few presents this morning: new socks, yarn, and tootsie rolls. She's easy to please.

And then we had some more fun on the climbing wall and meeting long lost relatives at the reunion.

 Lexie, Joseph, and Andrew LOVED the rock wall and were really good at it! I loved all these pictures with the Y Mountain behind them. So fun. :)

 The kiddos with Aunt Megan!

 Lucy and Uncle Nathan!

Rick walked the kids down to the Boiseboys House where he lived for a few years while he was at BYU. Lots of good times at that place were had.

We also drove by the South Provo Temple to see how construction was coming along.

And these pictures make me laugh. Eliza would not give us a smile for a nice picture with her cousins all born within 6 months of each other. Oh well, makes for fun memories. At least the other girls were happy and so cute.

This may be the best one where they were all looking up. Josie, Eliza, and Natalie.

Andrew and Audrey.

 Joseph and David.

Joseph and Lydia.

Lexie and Chloe.

Audrey, Spencer, and Andrew.

Had to get some pictures of cousins who are the same age before we left.
We had such a great time with cousins, family and at the reunions! We have a great heritage and I'm grateful for it and also for the next generation of kids-they're all pretty amazing.
