Luthy Reunion









For the Luthy Family reunion this year we went camping in Island Park and spent the day Saturday in West Yellowstone. I was so excited to learn that this is what we were doing since I havent been in close to 10 years, and Bryce and I had discussed taking the kids there this summer anyways. Well if only things in this world perfect.... there were SO many dang people there that we were at the park for close to 8 hours and only made it to see old faithful and up to mammoth. Oh boy it was CROWDED!! We only saw 3 buffalo and a few elk up in the town of mammoth. Oh well guess we will get to go again. ( My kids have been begging me to take them to bear world,and I kept telling them that West was way more fun.... well after the trip there they said " see mom you should have just taken us to bear world." "Its closer and we could have at least seen a bear") I agree kids.! Besides the darn mosquitos that were thicker than trees, camping was fun. Kids spent hours in the creak building a dam. Sunday we got to go back to West and walk around....only my candy store and the ice cream place were CLOSED! WHAT!!! that is why I pushed for us to go back up there. OH WELL.....we had fun anyways. Thanks everyone for the great weekend, and great food!

4th of July








Like every year we ended up at the Rexburg parade. McKenna was in the parade with her dance team. We go to visit with Grandma Kaye , Heidi, Kaylynn, Kirk, and the kids. Afterwards we hung out and ate lunch. Thanks everyone for the visit and BIG thanks to Grandma for always making room for everyone to sit at the Sr. Center. After the parade we ran some came home let the kids take a nap and headed to green canyon with the Luthy family, ( well all except Bryce and Logan, they went biking) We ended up only having to share the whole place with like 5 other people who stayed in the hot tubs. SWEET!! Then we all returned to Jeff and Sallys home for dinner. Bryce and I took the kids to see the fireworks after the rodeo... BAD IDEA!! It took FOREVER for them to start we sat waiting for almost 2 hours, kids thought sitting on top of the car was fun. I think next year we will head to Jackson or I.F. mom said Jackson had some really good ones. Thanks everyone for making our 4th of July so fun and laid back.

Lazer Tag





I know these pictures are NOT the best. I took my kids to the craze zone, park, ice cream and just a day spent with them doing all the fun things that they wanted to do. I know I spend all day with them anyways but it sure is more fun when I get to treat them to something so special and see the excitement in their little faces when they get to decide what we do for the whole day. Kaybree was a little lost in lazer tag but really enjoyed the arcades and mini golf. P.S. Lazer tag with only your kids in the whole place... Not so much fun.

Swimming Lessons


I was SO thankful to finally get my kids in swimming lessons this summer. They went to Rexburg Rehabilitation Center , the instructor there was AMAZING my kids learned so much in just the 2 weeks they were there. I tried to sign them up again and they were booked, so I got them on the list to start on Oct 24. BOOO I didnt want to have to wait that long. THANK GOODNESS someone dropped out and we were able to get them in lessons again starting on Aug 1st YEAH!~~

sideways movie

Sorry this is side ways , cant get it to rotate. Kaybree has really liked her babies for a while now. We were in Ut. and on our way there Kaybree was so mad in the car so I stopped off to get her something to play with. This baby was $5.00 and it giggled and laughed if you squized its feet or tummy. She would make it laugh and then tell it to shush. At the very end she gives it the evil eye.. Oh Kaybree how you make us laugh. Kaybree really does have a fun personality if only she would let everyone see it.

Lagoon












After McKenna was done dancing at the Lagoon competition we were able to play for hours on the rides, have a picnic, play in the water, and have a FUN time. Thanks everyone who was able to come with us. All the kids had a blast. Bridger was a little hesitant to do the new rollarcoaster but I finally convinced him it would be ok and once we got off that is what he kept wanting to ride. He was my riding buddy for most of the time. Love ya Bridger man. Addi had to be sweet talked a few times and she seems a little nervous while the ride was going and then when we got off she was all giggles and wanted to ride again. Taylor and Brilyn had a blast like always and so did my kids. Taylor and Mckenna think they are all grown up and just kept begging to go on things alone... NOPE didnt happen. Sorry girls.

Dance Season 2010-2011
















There is SO many pictures to pick from but I only have so much time to add them... ha ha . Dance Addiction Team did a GREAT job this year. Cleaned up good at most every competition. McKenna did amazing in her solo as well. Took home several first places, including First place at NATIONALS!!! WOO HOO KENNA!!! SO SO PROUD OF HER!! She has such a gift and talent for dancing, and she is being a good instructor to her little sister..Kaybree loves to dance with her and copies a lot of moves from Kenna. As always a HUGE thanks to my wonderful mom.... I am so BLESSED to have her be such a big supporter of McKennas dancing. I love getting to spend time with my mom even if its on some very uncomfortable seats, ( even though we both bought some nice stadium chairs) We are so thankful for all of McKennas family and friends who support her in this passion, Thanks for all the traveling and money spent to come watch her.

Growing up





I am so far behind, but I wanted to add these very special pictures of McKenna on her big day. What a BEAUTIFUL daughter I have and I cant even express how much love I have for her. She is truly a blessing in our family. Could not be more proud of her for her choice to get baptized and set such a great example to her siblings and her younger cousins.
