HIRSCHI FAMILY REUNION

July 26, 2008 was our Hirschi reunion. Cathy and I were in charge this year so we decided John Adams Park would be a good location for everyone. We had yummy food, the kids played frisbee golf,and we all enjoyed looking at pictures of Grandpa Ferd and Cloe and there family. Which included some great ones of us, not to mention 3 pictures taken at different times and yes I'm wearing the same gold shirt in all of them. McKelle couldn't quit laughing! Anyway, thanks to Karen for bringing a ton of them and she let me have what I wanted so now I have a book of my own with Park Valley Heritage and all. We brought a pinata for the kids to hit. Of course Donny was the entertainment we needed with that. We were so glad that so many of the family could come, it was good to catch up with everybody. Cathy and I were so glad to have it turn out so well! I won't lie, we were pretty stressed about it, especially that morning.

BEAR LAKE!

It just wouldn't be a normal summer if we didn't make at least a couple of trips to Bear Lake with the trailer. We went July 18th-20th with Dane & McKelle, and Brody and Jocelyn. The weather was awesome! We played at the beach, played games,went for walks and bike rides and even put a puzzle together. I was so excited that both Jocelyn and Dane love puzzles. Dane was insistant that we would finish the puzzle before we went home and with McKelle and Donny helping too we did it! Of course we can't forget the famous raspberry shakes. Although my new favorite is coconut cream pie shake. YUM! We had a great weekend. Just this last weekend Donny and I went by ourselves to pick up the trailer and we just stayed friday night. We layed out at the calm beach and actually read our books ( got a weird sunburn NOT! on my neck from reading, it was white, looked ridiculous)We played cribbage and just relaxed.It was great but did wish all of you kids were with us.

WE LOVE SUMMER!

Robin this ones for you!


This summer has been a good one involving lots of fun activities. Here is an update on some of our greatest memories.I failed to mention Brandon and Jocelyn's wedding in May. We love you both!

STAKE YW CAMP & FAMILY VACATION

The first two weeks of summer were very busy for us. McKelle had a break from cheer so thats when we had to get our fun done. We went to Heber Valley Camp for Stake YW's camp. The first 2 days were nice and then the storms came. We were cold and wet but still had a great experience. We came home and immediately went to St. George and Vegas for a quick family vacation. We had a good time. I tryed to get different pictures than what the kids have on their blogs.

FINISHED AT LAST!!!!!

Laundry/sewing/scrapbooking and spare room. I can't wait to play!
McKelle's Room
Family Room
Another angle of the family room.
Storage room. Yeah!
So this was quite the project! I still get an upset stomach when I see the pictures of us painting. It was a lot of work and we were trying to be so fast so it was pretty stressful at times but as you can see it was well worth it. It's so big and cozy compared to what we were used to . We look forward to the family coming home for Brandon's wedding and being able to be altogether in the family room!

One busy girl!

McKelle had her own "March Madness". In the month of March, McKelle had Junior Prom, National Cheerleading Competition in California (she took 2nd!!), and then Cheer Tryouts (she made it!)immediately after, not to mention school and work, all while trying to survive the mess and chaos of our basement remodel project. Here are some pictures of the fun events:

OUR CRUISE

Donny and I just got back from a cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozemel. It was soo soo good to get away from the snow and cold. We of course had a blast. We were able to snorkel in Grand Cayman and we also went to Sting Ray City and held a sting ray. It was kind of wild but fun. Cami and her family went to Cancun so they took the ferry over to see us in Cozemel. We met at paradise beach and played for the afternoon!Good to get home to family but we miss the sun and warm weather.
