Idaho :o)

From California we drove to Idaho, Jayden of course did great! She amazes me every time!

Eric & Chelsea blessed their little girl August 1st. She is so cute! Thanks to them for letting us stay our first night with them!

We had a fun busy week. Russell left for the army Tuesday August 1st, so we spent time with him before we left. He is now in South Carolina for Basic Training and will be gone for 6 months! He will do great and we are so proud of him!

After saying goodbye to Russell, we had a relaxing couple days spending time with Denny's mom Julie and brother Benson. It was fun!

Julie took her grandchildren to the ZOO! She said Jayden did great! She had fun spending time with her cousins and her grandma! Julie said she laughed and smiled and was so excited when she saw the kids feeding lettuce to a giraffe! Wish we could have got that on video! (hopefully soon I can get a video camera!)

The next Sunday Tom & Sheri blessed their cute little Albany! :O) Also Tom's brother had his homecoming the same day!

Here are some pics from the day (again, I didn't take enough pictures!!)


Here is us, Julie, Benson, Doug, Tom & Sheri and family, Tammy & Kevin and family! (Tammy is Denny's dad's sister)

Fortie Family Reunion - Placerville, CA

Denny drove down on a Monday with his brother Doug, who first flew to Portland so he could drive down with Denny. Jayden and I flew to Sacramento the next morning! Which was great to miss out on a 10 hour drive and only have to fly for 1 1/2. Jayden is great on the airplane, she just sang, ate and played! :) So Denny and our Aunt Nicole picked Jayden and I up at the airport. We spent the morning at Nicole's house just catching up and having fun.

That afternoon, we drove to Placerville to Camp Nauvoo. It was fun to meet the Fortie family! (Denny's mom side of the family!) Most of whom I hadn't met yet.

Camp Nauvoo is close to town so some family stayed in a hotel, most camped. They had a great grassy field that people pitched tents, they had a kitchen and an indoor eating area, which kept us together for meals which was so fun. (thank you Uncle Jeff and all who helped with meals! the food was so good! I know Denny was in there for almost all of them, doing what he could to help!)

Of course mostly the pictures I took were of Jayden.. wishing I took more pictures!

One of the days we drove to a park which was on our way back to town, and played softball. (I didn't.. but Denny did) I walked around with Jayden and then she took a nap. It was nice and hot so I had the car on and I read while she napped. The family had fun playing!

Jayden swinging, she had a blast!

Jayden and her cousin Kelsie! Jayden loved to play with her! :)

Here is a couple pics of Jayden I took while we watched the game in the shade! She is just too cute!!

Everyone playing softball, it's the only picture I took of the game.

We were there from Tuesday afternoon to Friday afternoon, time flew by so fast!
Here are pics from our last morning!
