Just Hangin' Out

Saw this idea in my friends house and tried to get creative myself. Just need a pic of Gweny and we are set! Best thing is, it didn't cost me one cent!!

Now Ian is a Monkey boy!
Their new way to eat yogurt.

Ian is teaching me how to play chess......I was sceptical about them knowing how to play, but they really do.

dirty

WOW are Expedition was DIRTY after our camping trips so the kids had the idea to wash it ourselves! We had a great time....the hose that we have was to short to reach the one side of the car so I had to fill buckets and work fast because it just happened to be the side that was facing the sun.

Kids at work.
Ta-Da!!

Last day of Hallenberger Reunion

On our way home we stopped at some ponds to have some lunch and let the kids fish for a bit.

The Fam.

Ian was a casting pro. He got it further out than Robert a couple of times.

Adeline and Gabriel...such a love hate relationship!
Gweny is so dang cute!

There were THOUSANDS of poly wogs and little frogs at this pond. The kids were in heaven.

They wanted to bring some home...

This pic doesn't even show the thousand others that were in there.

A look back up the river....so pretty!

More Hallenberger Reunion

Oh this family likes to shoot and hunt so that was the big thing for day #3! Along with more hot springs, card playing, BIG family lunch and can't forget the group pictures! Aaron brought up his generator and made a screen with a sheet and we watched a movie(Traffic). SO FUN!!

Here are some of the grand kids watching the adults try and get the targets on a tree.

WHAT!?!....this is how you hold a gun!.....Johanna style! LOL

Oh yes the little princess had a stab at it!
GOOOOOO IAN!!

GOOOOO ELIJAH!!!

Me and my girl!

Good morning!! I have a REALLY funny one of Robert but I didn't think he would like me putting it on here!

Hallenberger Reunion 2010

We went up up Grand Jean for this reunion. This was my first time up this way and it was so beautiful! I could live without the horseflies though! The first day was just kind of relaxed....uhhhhh the joys of camping...RELAXING!!

Here the kids are making a little wading pool with grandma Jenny and Johanna(not me).

Yes that is a snake. I think Adeline and I were the only ones not grossed out by it! LOL WOW I have a great tan line!

We went down on the river where there were some natural hots springs and some HUGE rocks as the boys would say. They loved climbing up on them.
Here are all the kiddos in a little pool we made....nice and warm!

Me Heidi and Johanna. She is an foreign exchange student from Germany that lived with Heidi and her family their senior year...she was back for a visit!

Oh ya you better believe it!

The boys really like playing chess. Not sure how they learned how to play but they almost beat grandma Jenny a couple of times!

Davenport Reunion 2010

We went to 1000 springs resort over by Hagerman this year and boy was it HOT! It was great seeing the Davenport family again and getting caught up with one another! Lucky for us we stayed next to Trudy and her air conditioning!

I got this little tent at a garage sale for 5 bucks! The best 5 bucks I ever spent.
Adeline getting some girl time! Ohhhhhh did she like that!
Uncle Ben playing baseball with the boys.

The fam.
The boys watching their dad playing horse shoes.

Such grace! LOL I played too but of course I am never in the pics.

WATER FIGHT!!!

The kids made these cute hats on the last day...Addy was the only one that would pose for me.

Boise River

We LOVE going up on the river! We stopped off at Badger Creek first and got attacked...I mean ATTACKED by mosquito's. Adeline had at least 30 of them on her and the bites to prove it. So we headed up the river and found this great spot.

The water was so blue.
I love this capture....and I didn't even stage it! I promise we feed her! She has always liked chewing on fabric! We love the RIVER!
Dad was off to the side fishing......
