Varbel Family Reunion 2013

 This year we were able to attend Scott's family reunion for his moms side of the family.  We went to a church campground in Washington. The weekend was full of fun things to do but I think everyones favorite thing was playing in the lake.

Emma loved riding in the boat

Cousin Hayden

On our extremely long trip home we stopped at a rest stop and there was an owl drinking out of a puddle on the sidewalk. It was there for a couple of minutes but as soon as I was able to get my camera it flew away

Music Boot Camp

This Summer a lady in the ward did a music boot camp. Everyday for two weeks the kids and I went.She taught the kids about composers and music history as well as tempo and rhythm. Malaya even learned to play the recorder.  

 

 

 

24th of July

I know I am a couple months behind but it was a busy summer. For the 24th colored some pancake mix and let the kids design their own pancakes.

 Then we went to the parade and the kids had so much fun seeing all the floats and of course chasing the candy.

Swimming lessons

This year all four of the kids took swimming lessons. Emma and I took a mommy and me class and had a lot of fun. They all did a great job and are really becoming quite the fish.
