Elton Reunion 2014

Thanks to Tony we have some documentation of this last weekend.  We had the Elton Reunion up at Warm Lake this year.  The kids loved playing with their cousins and we really enjoyed seeing everyone and missed those who couldn't come this year.

 Much of the weekend Charlie was filthy from head to toe.

Picking Huckleberries

This last weekend was the Elton Family Reunion (I'll post more about that later) at Warm Lake.  My dad found a huge Huckleberry patch and we went to pick.  We took home quite the haul and enjoyed our time together as well.

 Kinsey enjoying the fruits of her labor, or more like Grandma's labors.

 Charlie eating everything he picks.

After two mornings of picking we brought home two quarts of Huckleberries.  I see some Huckleberry yummy goodness in our immediate future!

Charlie turns 3

Last week Charlie had his third birthday!  The day was very low key.  Just a cake and a few presents.  The cake was bought from the store because I just couldn't handle baking a cake this year.  Hopefully he'll forgive me and hopefully it won't happen again.  Because frankly the cake looked pretty sad and I won't go into detail of how awful it tasted!  He got some puzzles and some fun trucks from Tony and I.  Charlie enjoyed talking to each of his grandmas on the phone.  All in all I think he enjoyed the day.  I can hardly believe how big he is.  He's such a character and we sure love having him a part of our family!
