Slippin' Around

We've gotten the slip and slide out a couple times this year and the boys have such fun with it!  Here are some pics of them doing their trick slides.

Matt and Katie's Wedding

We headed to McCall in late June for a much anticipated event for the Bunn family!  My cousin Katie was getting married!!!  It's always exciting to have one of the cousins get married and Katie is the start of the "younger" group of cousins.  She and her fiance Matt had been planning together and making much of the decor for the wedding.  In Bunn fashion, we all pitched in to bring the event together.  Penny did all the flowers, which turned out BEAUTIFUL!  Auntie Bunda took on the role as wedding coordinator.  My mom cooked meals for the Bunn clan.  Uncle Tim, of course, was the preacher!  And everyone else pitched in where they could.

They got married at the Black Hawk lodge and had such a wonderfully unique and beautiful wedding.  It was just so THEM!  Cole was the ring bearer and looked so handsome in his made-by-mom bowtie:-)  It was fun to have lots of family around and to get to party hardy!  We love Matt and are happy to welcome him in as the newest "outlaw"!

Another bonus to the trip was that Missy brought Henry out so we all got to meet him for the first time.  It is so sad to have a nephew so far away and it was exciting for us all to see him!  Unfortunately we had a nasty bout of stomach flu over the weekend too, which sadly started with my kids:-(  Missy got to stay an extra week so we really got to spend some time with them and get to know Henry, which was really fun!

 

 These boys LOVE 4-wheelers!

Can't get away without having a Bunn cousin picture!  And this is only a few of us:-)



Swimming Lessons

 Their teacher, Austin, had no idea what he was getting into with the two of them!

 Water safety day

Both Cole and Mason got to take swimming lessons at the Meridian pool this year.  They did great and had lots of fun.  Cole was able to swim the width of the pool (after a little bribing) and Mason decided to become a fish and was all over the place!  Jenny's oldest, Troy, also took lessons with them.  Now we're ready for a summer of water activities!!!

Car Wash

The boys want to earn some money for a vacation we're taking this summer so they offered to wash my car.  I had to go have it washed later that week but they had fun and I did pay them a little for it:-)

1st Camping Trip of 2012 - Warm Lake, ID

We had a wonderful first camping trip of the year with our friends the Huszars!  We went the first weekend in June and got surprisingly good weather, minus a few sprinkles here and there.  It was our first time camping in a organized camp ground and it was actually great.  There were not very many campers there and the boys could ride their bikes all around the roads and camp sites without getting in the way of cars. 
The first night we got there we decided to check out the swimming beach, just a quick peek.  It turned out to be such a nice night and there was no one else around so we though, what the heck, let the boys strip down to their undies and go for a swim.  Cole proceded to do this and when we turn around to look at Mason, he had gone a step further.  He decided skinny dipping was the way to go and was thoroughly enjoying himself!  They had a good time!!!  We also took their to their first real, natural hotsprings.  It was tricky crossing the log over the river to get there but very worth it.  It was relaxing and a fun experience to give to our kids.
Throughout the weekend we did some 4-wheeling, which is getting much harder now that we have 3 kids!  The kids threw out a couple fishing lines and of course, Cole was the only one who caught one with a nice rainbow trout.  We shared the cooking with Jason and Christy and had tons of fun watching our 6 boys run, play, and explore.  Next year they will have added another baby to the mix so it will get even more exciting:-)

 Smores... minus the marshmallows:-)

 I love camping!!!

 This is what happens to Kade's hair after a whole weekend of camping!

 Can't believe we got everyone to look!

 Our good friends - Jason, Christy, Emery, Owen, Jake, and soon to be baby girl!

 I'm pretty sure the manufacturers would be horrified to see a family of 5 riding their 4-wheeler:-)

We had a great time and love to get out into God's great creation and show our kids how incredible it is.  We love our good friends Jason and Christy and our kids had such a fun time playing together!  I'm sure we'll have many more fun camping memories with them in the future!
