Kristen's Amazing Race Birthday Party

 If they didn't make the basket they had to suck jello out of straws.

 Scooping gold fish out of the kids pool (the cats had a lovely time after everyone left).

Eating saltines, then chewing bubble gum and blowing a bubble.

 They could opt out of an event if they touched the electric fence.

 Singing the National Anthem on the high school rock.

 It was a three person birthday party, Barrett Manning, Kristen and Kalem Olsen. Their birthday's are within a day of each other.

A great crew!

A Little Family Fun

 For years Brian has wanted to have a tomato fight with the tomatoes that have been frozen then thawed. We all thought he was crazy and we never did it...Until this year.  We were out side cleaning up the yard and garden and I had Kristen secretly get the camera ready. Then I had Brian come talk to me with a tomato hidden behind my back. Oh it was glorious. But even though we called in all the recruits (5 to 1) we still got the worst of it I think. He's just a good shot.

 Playing around in the south hills on our way to Brianna's cross-country meet.
