I got lost . . .

. . . in the town of Forks, Washington. For those of you who are being slow to join the "Twilight" series club (like me) I highly suggest you do. I have become totally enthralled with these books. I have read the first three books with an average of 450 pages each in the past six days. I am only blogging now, waiting for nap time to be over, so I can go buy the fourth book, "Breaking Dawn". So I apologize for the slacker wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend that I have become!

I am realizing that I now have a lot to catch up on. To start off, this last weekend was Teegan's blessing. We loved being "invaded" (as my dad put it) by family! We know that they all made some sacrifices to be here with us. Thank you, thank you! It was so much fun!

To start off, we went to the Farmer's Market and to East Grand Fork's Catfish Days. I think next year I can do without that celebration, but we made the most of it while we were there.

Phil & Coleman playing around on the blow-up toys.


Sorry, Amber, I had to put this on! It's too cute!


Chugga Chugga Choo Choo! Grumpy & Coleman watch the train go by. Coleman's favorite!


That night, we went to Happy Joe's for a pre-birthday party for Coleman while Grandparents and aunts were in town.

Chelsea, Teegan, and I just leaving the restaurant.


Coleman was so funny with his cupcake! Only a two-year-old would think to eat it like this! :)


On Sunday, Phil blessed Teegan. I am so grateful that he has the priesthood and was able to give Teegan that special blessing. I am also grateful for family and good friends who also participated. Thank you!

Teegan looked so cute in his blessing outfit. Thanks Mom for not listening to me when I said I didn't want a new one. Teegan looked heaven sent in this outfit! I really appreciate it!


Our family!


On Monday, my family stayed on a little bit longer and we had fun shopping, picnicking, eating out and exploring!

My sisters and I at Turtle River State Park.


All of us in the sunflower field.


Grammy and Teegan. So cute!

There are a bunch more cute pictures taken here, but Phil is giving me the "evil eye" for taking so long. I better pick up the pace!

The week before all of these events, our good friends, the Erhards, were moving away and we had a little get together before they left. Here is Holly!


We decided to send them off with a BANG!! by doing some fireworks. Lets just say, it turned out as a "dud" at first! Our lighter broke and we didn't have anything else. Thanks to McKenzie and Dallin who are super pyros for figuring it out. I'm still not exactly positive how they did it, but it turned out being lots of fun!

Sparklers!


I can't believe I let this happen, but here are Coleman and Phil shooting off Roman Candles. I just hope Coleman was too young to remember so he doesn't get any ideas in ten years!
