Scout Monument

A few weeks ago Alex thought it would be a great idea for our family to take a hike to Scout Monument. It is a monument on top of a very large hill here in Montpelier. It was steep and rocky at the beginning of the hike and so Griffin and I wimped out, but Alex took the other four kids and made the hike. It took them about 3 hours and they were all exhausted by the end (including the dogs).

This is the town without any zooming. Can you find our house?

Spaghetti

One night while we were eating dinner Alex decided to try putting a spaghetti noodle up his nose and out his mouth. Luckily he wasn't succesful but Fenton sure thought it was fun to try.

July 4th

For the 4th of July we went and spent the weekend in Rockland. We watched Grandma Moss in a play on Friday night and then went to all of the fun things that Rockland did at the park on Saturday. The kids got to gather candy dropped by an airplane, chase pigs and chickens and have foot races. Dalton (those are his arms as he crossed the finish line)

Fenton's Birthday

For Fenton's Birthday we were at our Family Reunion so he got to have a lot of people in on the party. He was super excited about his Rocket cake and loved having all of the attention.

Alder Reunion 2010

Every few years my family gets together with my Uncle Max's family for an Alder Reunion. We hold it at Bear Lake because it is a middle point for both families to travel. We get to see cousins that we only see at these reunions and it is a lot of fun. This year we spent 2 days at the beach and all of the kids had a blast. All the kids enjoying the Lake
