I have had horrible luck with my blog - every time I try to post it takes forever to load! So now I am way behind. Oh well...
I wanted to post a few pictures from Shawn's grandma's (Grammy's) 80th birthday party which was in June. Shawn's parents had a cookout/barbeque for her and all of her family and close friends. Grammy's favorite tradition for her birthday is hamburgers on the grill and homemade strawberry ice cream. So of course that's what we had! (Just on a larger scale.) We all just love Grammy, she is truly one of the kindest, most thoughtful, sweetest people I know.

cousins on the tramp - Hannah * Gracie * Chance * Autumn * Brielle
Blurry - my pet peeve - but cute picture of Chance * Brielle * Sarah * Porter - what on earth is Porter grinning at?
Chance's mad hoop skillz
Shawn held his first Elders Quorum campout up at Doug Christensen's farm in Wellsville. We had tried to reserve a campground for everyone, but EVERYTHING was booked. I guess to reserve a group site at a campground, you need to reserve it months in advance, not just weeks. All of the decent sites were booked through September. We're new at this, okay! But Doug's farm turned out just fine - there was plenty of room, and the kids had a blast feeding the cows and shooting bb-guns. We watched a movie that we projected onto the barn door with a killer sound system thanks to one of Shawn's counselors. I think it was a success. We were the only ones who brought our trailer so I felt kind of wimpy but I'm sorry, that's how I roll!
feeding the cows, a definite highlight!
