Idaho Family Reunion Part 1

 These poplar trees were here when my grandfather bought the farm 98 years ago

 This shed is all that is left of the farm I lived on until I was 8

 The Barendregt Clan - this was taken after some people went home!

 Some of the fun toys on the river

 Mark and Jessica gave us a Dutch history lesson!

 Our family was well represented...hopefully we will get husbands to join us in two years

 The cousins with Aunt Lois

 I spent many a Sat. afternoon at this movie theater in Rupert

 The Fourth of July parade around the town square in Rupert was so much fun and full of cool old farm equipment

Becky and girls in the field by the old farm house

Summer is here! First stop...Stewart Cabin in Cedar Breaks

 The quads were very popular!

 Church in Brian Head

 Hanging in the meadow

 One of many hot games of Monopoly

 The fishing hole...Syd was the only lucky one!

 We took some great hikes!

 Grammy still has it ...a bullseye!  Too bad she rarely hit the target!

Terry's fun toy and new landscaping

 So we had a little fender-bender and Terry chose this little rental for almost a month...boy did he go through a lot of gas but luckily escaped without any tickets (that I know of anyway!).  We both had silver convertibles in the garage...how silly is that?

We have wanted to change our front landscaping for a while and finally did it.  We did tree roses just like my Mom and Dad always had.  We think it looks terrific!

Lexi's First Birthday Party

 The cutest almost one-year-old we know!!!

 Lexi and her good friend, Connor, are just a few days apart so they had their party together since the Changs and Macbeths love spending time together.

 The diaper dash begins...

 Lexi needed some coaxing but Connor never moved...so the Macbeth winning tradition continues!

 Lexi loves food and her cupcake was the best.  She even stole Connors and then wiped her dirty hands on his pants!!!

 Big sister Libby enjoyed the party too... here she is making sand angels

I have begun to put Libby to work in the kitchen.  She is a great help!
