Worst blogger ever.

I feel like my blog has been slacking. We have been so busy with our new home. We are mostly settled. My sister and I painted the basement and the master bedroom, which I have been very happy with the results. A funny story, I was helping kids unpack their rooms and I noticed as soon as I finished helping Ikey I came down the hallway to see his Keep out mat right outside his room with the door shut. I thought that was so cute. This new home has really just been so perfect for us. We have been so impressed with the friendliness of the neighbors and the ward. I just know this is where we are suppost to be. I feel so comfortable here and just love sitting in my front room and admiring my home. We have a great Theater room in the basement which we are having so fun with. This has been such a blessing for our family.

Family Reunion over the 4th.

We headed to Lander Wyoming for our Chalmers family reunion. My mom grew up there and wanted the grandkids to see the small town and all it has to offer over the 4th. We arrived thursday night after a 4 1/2 hour drive.Friday morning we woke up first thing and headed to Martins Cove and did a 5 mile handcart trek. My mom made pioneer dresses for all the girls. It was really fun. All the kids were troopers, they got to ride in the hadcart about 1/2 of the way and they had to walk the other 1/2. There was very little complaining and alot of fun. Friday night we relaxed for a while before we went to the most amazing firework show I have ever seen. A dentist from Lander invites the whole community to his property where the fireworks are right in front of you. It was amazing I can't put it into words. My kids loved it. Saturday the 4th we went to a parade. Probley the most low budget ever. Just horses and trucks a few marching bands. But everyone was throwing Candy, my kids each had a bag full of treats to take home. And the fire department hoses everyone down at the end. So much fun. We went to a bar-b-que with my moms sisters family and then Erick, Kiah, Isaac and I did a fun hike up sinks canyon. We really had a great time and will probley return another year. The kids can't stop talking about it.
