Family campfire night

We got to do our annual campfire night with the kids. It was

awesome! Love my family and being with them -roasting hot dogs,

marshmellows and singing "grandma's feather bed" and "Give said the Little Stream"

Girls Night Out -

Darcy had us up to Adam's family cabin for a Girls night out.

It was great the only thing missing was Natalie - but we had fun walking, doing crafts and just hanging out - oh and sleeping in. Thanks to the dad's who were Mr. Mom for a night !

Halloween 2011

We had adult family halloween party at Madsen's this year. Fun was had by all.

Here's just a few pictures.

Our sweet missionary is home!

Sister Natalie Alexis Sessions returned home (Utah) from the Arequipa Peru Mission

on Wednesday, September 14th. Our family is so excited to have her back with us .

We are equally excited that she served our Heavenly Father with all her heart, might, mind and strength for the last 18 months. She loved the people and loved her companions and learned a lot about herself along the journey. She has been a tremendous example of perseverence for despite having gall bladder surgery, pneunomia, parasites etc. while she was gone she missed only a few days of the Lord's work. We were blessed for her service and she has memories that will be hers for a lifetime! WELCOME HOME HERMANA SESSIONS

Photos from Peru

Got some pictures of our favorite sister missionary aka Sister Sessions aka Lexi aka Lady Bug

Peru only has a few more months of her sunny smile and infectious attitude and then she'll be flying home.!

Meet Me In Montana

Got back from a great trip to Montana and Wyoming with my dear mom and two sisters.
We went up to see dad and for a surprise party for our Aunt Nancy. What fun ! It was
great to see cousins and their children and their grandchildren. I think that I have the
greatest family on earth - smart and smart alec, with delightful senses of humor and
kind as well. I feel so blessed to have been born into such a family.

Summer get away 2011

Got back yesterday from a great little get away to the mountains. We went up to Strawberry

and camped using Wally's new toyhauler. Andy and Mindy's family joined us with their 3 boys and Jason came too. It was beautiful up there. The flowers were beautiful. Of course, I forgot my camera . I tried with my phone but now I have to figure out how to download from it ??!

We had a lot of fun - fishing, dutch ovening food, toasting marshmellows and four-wheeling.

BIRTHDAY GIRLS!

Ava and Darcy had birthdays yesterday, March 15. We celebrated Ava's yesterday and are celebrating Darcy's tonight. Can't believe Ava is 1 and Darcy has reached the big 30. Time flies on wings of lightening, you can not call it back... Each day is so precious and I am grateful for each one that I have with my family. Happy Birthday Girls.

Lexi's more than 1/2 way !!

Our dear sweet missionary, Hermana Sessions, is now more than 1/2 way through. We are so proud of her working so hard and remaining so upbeat and cheerful despite the trials of gall bladder surgery , inflamed achilles tendon, and now another bout with bacteria - the dreaded h philori. Still she has loved her mission and her companions and the people of Peru.
