This picture doesn't really do justice, but I think I see a resemblance. :)

Family Reunions

We've had a few family reunions we've gone to this summer. We went to Bear Lake with the Forsgren side. Dustin wasn't able to make it because of work, but me and the kiddos went. Here's Macie with her 3 second cousins, Nick, Ty, and Anna.

Macie and Halle.
After that reunion, we headed to Idaho Falls for my family reunion. It was fun. Tawny and Bret couldn't make it, but everyone else was there. Here's the kids doing a pinata.
Macie and Carly waiting in line for the slide to go into the pool. Still looking so much alike.

So I didn't have a swimmer diaper for Macie, so here she is. Poor girl. Her swimming suit was too small, but her diaper too big.

Not sure which was better.

We went to Rigby Lake. Here's Macie and Bailey.

Here's a family picture of everyone who was there. Again, no Tawny and Bret, so eleven people missing.

Kylee had Macie and Addison who were not happy getting pictures taken.

The grandkids who were there.

The numbers are what number of grandkid they were. 39 now. :)

Eight of the ten siblings. Nice shot, I know.

I LOVE Rosetta's face in this one. Don't mind us all blinding ourselves looking into the sun.

It was fun getting together with family, just like always. We really missed those who didn't make it, but we realize it's hard getting all of us in one place at one time. :)

24th of July

The 23rd of July, we went with Dustin's work to a Bee's game in Salt Lake. It was way fun going to a game. We haven't been out for awhile, so it was a good time. All the people Dustin work with are so nice, and I had fun meeting them. Noah was so hungry, he kept trying to eat my pretzel.

We watched fireworks afterwards. They were actually really good. Dustin pointed out that it was fun watching fireworks without having to listen to the music that typically goes along with them. They were just playing rock songs. Fun.

The next morning we went to Bancroft for the parade. Here's Ethan and Noah.

Macie and Kara jumping on the trampoline. I know this is kind of a crappy picture since it was getting dark, but if you can see Macie's face, it's worth the post. :)

Fishing with Dad

This summer has been so busy, but fun. Dustin took us fishing one night. Macie was obsessed with the "fishies" we never really caught. At least Grandpa Hansen caught one she could look at.

Notice Macie's fully submerged feet.

It's always nice getting out into the great outdoors.

How Sweet

The other day I was laying in bed with Macie after putting Noah in bed, and Dustin came in and said, "I wish I could just freeze them at this age." He went on to say that Macie is so cute and innocent, usually, and Noah is just so happy. It was so sweet! What a cute dad.

Does your face hurt?

So, this is probably just a "you had to be there" moment, but I had to blog this because I was DYING last night! So, it was about 11:45 last night and Dustin and I decided we should get some shut eye. Dustin was in bed, and I lay down and try to relax. Do you ever notice how once you get in bed, you really can realize where your whole body hurts? Well, I thought Dustin cared and proceeded to tell him, "Man, my knees hurt so bad. So does my back." Then he pops in this little jewel. "Does your face hurt?" Me, not seeing where this was going said, "No, should it?" and he replied with, "Cause it's killing me!" Oh my heck! It was late and I was so tired, but I spent the next 15 minutes giggling and crying like a little 6th grade girl! I was dying!!! Then we spent about 10 minutes trying to decide if that really was how the insult went. I told Dustin I'll never be able to complain about my aches and pains without laughing now. Oh, good times. The joys of being married to Dustin. :)

Fourth and Fun!

Well, the fourth was pretty fun for us. We spent the weekend in Wellsville with Dustin's family. Macie liked doing the fireworks. I know it's dangerous for little kids, but we like to live on the wild side. Here's Noah watching the fireworks. His eyes were huge the whole time.


On Monday, we went to the parade in Hyrum. It was TWO HOURS LONG! At first Macie was content getting a piece of candy and hanging out.

Then she got into getting the candy. She ended up making a pretty good haul.

This last week, we went to spend a few days with my sister, Kristy. Here's Macie jumping on the trampoline with the sprinkler. She wasn't quite as into it as I thought she'd be, but she had fun.
The other night, Dustin and I decided to go for a drive, and we hiked up to this waterfall. It was SUPER pretty, and a good hike, too. We had to haul our kids up and watch for stinging nettle. Dustin found it first by walking through it, so we kept our eyes open after that.

It was so pretty up there. The view was awesome. It made us really appreciate living where we do, and being able to get out and do stuff in the outdoors. What a gorgeous place to be!
