What a Weekend!

On Thursday, the girls were ready to start their weekend after their final tennis lesson for the summer.
They had a lot of fun in their little class. Their age group never got to actually play the game, but they did have little skills tournaments during the last few lessons. One day Ellie made it into the tournaments and another time Anna did.
This picture is of Anna in her skills tournament.


Ogden was a little wore out from all of his playing outside one day and this is how I found him sleeping when I walked into the house.Ooh, doesn't that look comfy?

On the fourth, we headed to Idaho Falls to party with all of the Manwarings. The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins. They even got to play on the Banzai Falls for the first time this year, but probably not the last!

Ogden had a blast doing flips on his way down the slide. It was pretty entertaining



And, of course, I couldn't resist another picture of Truman in his red, white, and blue!


On Saturday morning we had family pictures with all of the Manwarings. What a crowd! Afterwards, we had a huge breakfast and headed to the park to play and rest in the shade.

We had our tennis rackets in the back of the car, so the kids headed to the tennis courts at the park and started playing. Luckily Uncle Jarom used to teach tennis lessons and offered a free lesson to all of the kids. It was so fun to watch!




Sunday was Truman's blessing, and for any of you who were wondering, I managed to stay composed all through the whole meeting. It was such a nice day and Truman looked so sweet in his little blessing outfit.

After church, or at least sacrament meeting, everyone came over for dinner. It was so much fun to spend time with family. None of my brothers and sisters could make it, but I was lucky enough to have my cousins Mitch, Marcus, and Drew come with their wives and girlfriend from Rexburg. It was such a nice day.

Thanks everyone for a fun weekend.

Okay, I think I've solved the comment problem with the blog. Love Truman's outfit, wish we could have been there, but I was thinking about you. So glad you were able to keep your composure!

Truman looked so handsome on his blessing day. But when does he not look handsome?! I am glad we were able to spend time with you guys!

Great job on Sunday! Anytime you need someone to "grill" your food for you let us know! We loved the homemade ice cream sandwiches! Ben wants me to make him more! :)
