Memorial Day Weekend

We were so excited for this Memorial Day. My brother Sheldon is leaving on his mission to Costa Rica on  May 30th. This means that all of my siblings were able to get together and  hang out all weekend. Tioni and I arrived on Thursday night. Arlen came up with Shannon, Bre and Boston Friday morning. Friday was a busy day, we worked on building a new tree house for the grandkids. One of the best parts of this weekend was that my Sister Natasha and her family were here visiting from Olive Branch, Mississippi. She has 4 boys who had tons of fun on the farm.  Saturday, we drove to Twin Falls to go to Gurtie's Brick Oven Cookery, which is an all-you-can-eat pizza place. On the drive there we hit really bad rain storms, and saw 2 different funnel clouds. Kaehl and Breadon, 2 of my nephews rode with us and had fun playing a game where if they found a yellow car they could hit Uncle Arlen. It was not Arlen's favorite game (for obvious reasons). Sunday was a fun day where lots of other family came to visit and hear Sheldon talk in church. We had a taco bar and lots of delicious food. Monday we took family pictures which was also fun. Cameron (Natasha's husband) did a great job with the pictures. We had so much fun every night playing Settlers of Catan. We were up so late but it was well worth the memories.
