Daughters of Utah Pioneers Pioneer Picnic

I am the captain (the president) of the local camp of the International Society of Daughters of Utah Pioneers. Every year we celebrate Pioneer Day with a social. These are a few pictures of the kids and the daughters (or members) at the picnic this year. We had a wonderful dutch oven breakfast, sing-a-long, and stories from some of the daughters about their ancestors who came across the plains.

Katie didn't like being in the front of the wagon Katie taking a break from the heat in the shade of the teepee

Mike graced us by singing a beautiful pioneer song

New Pics of the Kids - July 15, 2009

Okay, this one isn't new, but I just got copies of it. This is from December 2008...Katie's 1st birthday.

Katie - 19 months old

Colin - 5 1/2 yrs. old (I can't believe he starts Kindergarten in exactly 4 weeks from today!)

I want to make this...

Sunday

This is how the kids spent the morning before church. What mother can complain about their 5 year old and 19 month old sitting together reading books?

And this is how they spent the afternoon: Katie went right to bed after we got back from church and woke up crying. She has no energy and threw up. It is not like her to just lay here like this. She is usually on the go. I hope she feels better tomorrow.

Colin spent a portion of the afternoon playing Wii. He loves playing Mario Galaxy and it keeps him busy while I am fixing dinner or getting other things done around the house.
