Finally an update for everyone!!!

I know, I know, it's about time, right. I hope that you all haven't given up on me and are actually going to check this!!!!

Anyways, a whole lot has happened in the six months that I haven't posted anything. Jenna is growing like crazy every day. But, no, she's not talking very much yet. She says a few words every now and then, but mostly it's squealing and nodding her head in answer to our questions.

In May, we went to Utah for Reese Baker's wedding. Then, Jenna and I went down again in the middle of May to watch my two sisters play in and win the State Tournament for Idaho High School Softball. The next day, we also witnessed Sondra's graduation from High School. June was completely full of stuff all the time. We had volleyball camp, scout day camp, ward activities, baby showers, and all sorts of other things. We celebrated Father's day and then my 22nd birthday. Then there was the 4th of July (keep looking for pictures about that!!!)

And here are some pictures of our wonderful camping vacation in Silver Creek, Idaho for the Forsberg Family Reunion!!!!!

Everyone spent tons of time playing card games, stupid and funny as they were.


The tiny little witch of the west!!!! (under the tent sides)

Jenna loves budding into everyone's business!!!

And here's the funniest coolest woman in camp!!! We love you Grandma!!!





It's not camping with the Forsberg family without the entertainment of the hammocks!!!!







So intrigued by Aunt Kaylee brushing her teeth.

Jenna playing with my cousin Ella....her best friend/enemy all week at camp:









Ella and Jenna on the front steps to Grandma and Grandpa's trailer.





The men and their fun playing horseshoes!!!! Silly Daddy!!!!!

Our way crazy new game this year at Silver Creek was brought by the Orchard boys.

It was called "Mountain Cricket." It is a combination of baseball, golf, cricket, and bowling. And it's pretty much impossible to explain in words, so here's some pictures to help:









James was definitely out!!!!!!










It wouldn't be Silver Creek without the unbelievably cold CREEK!!!!!! This year, it was crazy colder than before and pretty high too!!!!

Jenna and Great-grandpa Forsberg


Just because we're camping doesn't mean we can't go to bed all clean and fresh!!!!!



Grandpa Forsberg and Jayce are way out of their league!!! Call in the back up!!!! It doesn't matter how many times you get hit with the creek water, it is still freezing every time.









This year, James remembered that he really likes fishing. So, no bored time this year, just fishing. At first they were only 6 inches long, then they increased to 7 and then on to 9!!!!!

Our little girl was a wonderful little camper!!!!

"fire"th of July

First of all, this is what came about from our 4th of July celebration. Yep, that's right, on SUNDAY the 4th, James came home from Church after a missionary meeting (yep with both Elder Farnsworth & Elder Kessler there) and decided to light off 3 of the professional-grade fireworks left over from the huge show we had on Saturday night.






I looked out after the 2nd one went off and gave him the look:) Then after the 3rd one, I came out of the house completely to tell them it wasn't a good idea.....But it was too late....the field next to our house was already on fire!!!!!

Luckily, the elders could help, but of course all three of them were all wearing their suits. James called the fire department and because it was the 4th, they were all just waiting for a call, so they got there and were spraying it down within ten minutes or so. We were lucky that day that even though the wind was blowing, it wasn't blowing harder than it was. The fire department helped so much. They were there about 2 hours or so and then left. We assumed that meant the fire was out completely, but they left to go to another fire in McConihe flats that seemed more emergent. We left to go have dinner at Grandma Jones' house, but while we were gone, the fire started again and nearly burned down an abandoned house near the back of our property. Anyways, everything turned out okay, but it sure was a stressful day.
