Hill Family Reunion 2011

We just got back from Island Park, Idaho where we had a wonderful time! There were 15 adults and 14 kids 9 and under. We all stayed in one large, beautiful cabin on a lake with our own private dock. It was one of my favorite vacations ever! My kids did great and we made memories to last a lifetime. I love my family!

Ryan couldn't come up until Tuesday so I drove with my mom. The kids did great and were so excited to see their cousins when we got there. We waited outside for people to start showing up. That night we let the kids go for a swim off the dock.The men and children!

The next morning we had a Justin Bieber dance party! Of course we did :)Then it was off to float the river!The kidsThe adultsWe easily filled the bus It was so pretty! The only problem was the fact that we got a raft that filled with water and we had fish floating down with us. Taylor, Jake and Michelle got their workout in for the day trying to row us along. Such a fun and entertaining adventure! My mom and Renee stayed back with the babies and got them down for a nap. They are the cutest!When we got back from rafting Easton got a fever. Poor kid was stuck in our room watching TV while all the kids were playing. Abbey was the best and took him out to throw stuff in the lake. She was my life saver while Ryan wasn't there. The kids made a bunch of paper airplanes and had a big competition. For the most part they played great the whole week!On Tuesday we woke up and headed to Yellowstone! It was hot and crowded but we headed over to watch Old Faithful. Pretty soon Brady was on the floor saying he didn't feel good. I knew he wasn't lying when he started laying on the ground as the Geyser was going off.We headed out to a pizza place and Brady got worse by the minute. Lunch was miserable but thanks to my parents I survived! Luke was being a nightmare so my mom took him on a walk and got him to pet this huge dog! Impressive!We saw some wildlife as well!I took Brady and Luke home and my parent's kept Easton with everyone else. They went to a bear and wolf exhibit and somehow Easton wandered off and made a new friend. Hilarious!!!I was stuck for the second day with a sick child and no husband. Again, my sisters came to the rescue! They are the best!Luke is obsessed with my dad. He always wants him to hold him and give him hugs. Love it!There is the recap of the first few days! I am going to have to break this up so I don't overload with pictures! More to come...

Summer Lovin'

We have been having a wonderful summer! To be honest, I am exhausted. We have had family in town non-stop and have been going and going and going.

On the 4th of July we woke up and went to the parade. We had festive doughnuts!The boys were being pills and would not smile for the pictures but we tried.That afternoon we swam, had a bbq, and did fireworks at night. It was a great day!

Aleena got here yesterday with the kids just in time for a big rainstorm. I ran to the airport to pick up Kelsey and apparently the kids had a great time in the rain while I was gone!We love these cousins! We are so glad that they are here!

Water Fight

The other day our neighbors pulled out the water balloons and started filling them up for the kids. We went out with our cameras and Jake told the kids to throw them at their moms. Very funny!and then we told the boys to get him!
Now the boys ask me every day to buy them water balloons. I will let the neighbors do that!

Random...

My mom's computer is on the verge of crashing so I have been going through and getting all my pictures off. I have made the mistake before of not doing this and I am missing pictures from the first 2 years of our marriage. I have burned over 1800 pictures onto CDs. My mom is the best picture taker!!! It is pretty much my children's whole childhood. I found some random pictures from recently that I never posted and want them in my blog books so here it goes!
