Stake 50th Anniversary

This last weekend we celebrated our stakes 50th anniversary with a lot of fun activities. We attended the mini carnival they had on Saturday with our friends, the Heiselbetz's. The boys loved it because it was a lot like the Pioneer Days party they have every year, just a little smaller, not as hot, and everything was free.

Jaedyn spent most of her time relaxing in the stroller because we didn't want to chase her all over now that she's walking.


There were a few different blow up slides for the boys to play on, one was a regular slide, one was a mini obstacle course before the slide part, and the other was a bounce house with a slide attached. They spent most of the day on those and it wasn't too crowded so they got to enjoy a lot of play time.

They love these things...





While the boys played on the big kid toys, Jaedyn got to play in a "little" kid area. It had mini slides and cars for the younger kids to play with and not be bothered by big kids running by. Jaedyn mostly played on the slide...


..and tried to climb up it (a bad habit she's learning from her brothers).


There were also some mini games for the kids to play, but Jaron only wanted to play on the slides, so it was just Jantzen and Dallin that played the games. They got candy as prizes because the toys were all gone. Jantz was funny about it and said, "I don't care about the toys, I just want the candy"...what a funny kid!

They played mini golf and Jantz almost made a hole in one...


They played "Plunko" and it was pretty much a tie between the two of them...


The last game they played was balloon darts. Out of three darts, Jantz hit one balloon and popped it, he was so excited...


After games, we all enjoyed some yummy root beer floats and snow cones (yes, it was still 80+ degrees here).


Even though Jaron didn't hang out with us that much, I managed to snag him long enough to get a picture of all of us together. We all had a fun time at the anniversary carnival with our family and friends. It's so nice to have a stake that gets together to do fun things like this.


At church yesterday we had a special stake conference with talks from past leaders in our stake. I didn't get to hear much of what was said because some of my kids were having behavioral issues, but I did get to hear the wonderful singing by our stake choir (which my awesome friend Lara and her husband are a part of) and they did a really good job. I'm glad I got to enjoy some part of the conference.

Thank you family for another fun weekend together.
