Happy Birthday Finn!

On Saturday we had a little party for Finn's third birthday.

We had to open presents first because Finn could NOT wait. Lots of tractors and dump trucks.


We went to my parents pool with some of Ben's family and Teri and Chace. We took a million pictures with our waterproof camera, just cause it's fun.






Then we headed back to the house to have a tractor birthday cake. Finn was too distracted by the tractors to really even eat any cake.


Happy Birthday cute boy!

Family Fun Part 2

On Thursday we headed to Fruitland to stay at Camelot Resort with all the Dickersons (minus Dan and Laura) and Wings.

The property was amazing. The house, not the greatest. I think we were all expected a little better house, but for the price, it was fine. You pay for the property.

The reunion was full of swinging.

eating

climbing (or being a tiger as Finn calls it)

biking
enjoying the beauty of Utah
And of course enjoying being together as a family.

Highlights and Lowlights (and things to remember):

• Jake using the rope swing to propel himself into a freezing river and then screaming like a little girl
  
• Finn falling into the smaller river and climbing out by himself, soaking wet, and then wanting to get back in
• My bike pedal falling off, mid ride
• Mouse on Marc's face
• Kickball (with only a few minor injuries)
• Food - hamburgers, hotdogs and ribs
• Cohen waking up dry (and Jake!)
• Some people not getting hot water, but I did, that is all that matters
• Finn learning to love trees, must be in his blood
• Forcing everyone to finish a game of Trivial Pursuit
• Mountain Dew, Airborne and Emergen-C
• Other lawn games, including frisbee golf & horseshoe
• Finn thinking pinecones are poop
• Me not taking enough pictures
  

I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, so family, please comment.
We are glad it's over, but glad it happened. It was a great few days getting to know everyone!

Family Fun Part 1

Last week Marc and Aubri came up to play all week before the Dickerson / Wing reunion. We had a blast, staying up way too late and having the kids wake us up early. OK, that wasn't a blast, but we love Marc and Aubri and they can come over anytime. (And so can Natalie, so we can have a break from the millions of kids.)

One night we rented out a few rooms at Noah's. I would highly suggest this place. We've rented it once before with the Dickerson's to have more space and to get out of the house for a night.


I love this pictures cause Marc is totally ducking from the ball. Pathetic.

Finn loves Gavin.

Sometimes a little too much.

Thanks for the costume Noelle! It was a hit.

Dee Anne's Wedding - Part 3

A bunch of the Dickerson's hit up Red Robin (our favorite) the night of the wedding to eat some burgers.

Amanda took over the camera. (She might hate me after posting these pictures.)
