4th of July Weekend In Idaho

Small towns really know how to celebrate the 4th of July. There are few things that make me feel more patriotic than a parade, a barbecue, fireworks, school marching bands, carnivals, etc. Let's not forget also screaming kids, Grandpa literally clearing off the tables and putting them away as we are still eating, dogs scared of fireworks, staples in Trin's head, Megan hitting her head against the door (on purpose) because she is ticked Elliott is in her stroller, Terry's dirty jokes and Paulette telling him to "just stop" while he keeps going....it was fun. It really was. I hope everyone had a great holiday.

There were initially two more tables but Grandpa cleared them right up. We crammed onto these tables for dessert.
Notice Trin's doo-rag-She gashed her head open the day before and had to get staples. Doo-rags were Susie's solution to not being able to do Trin's hair for a week. We all know how Susie is about the girls' hair being done.
I love this picture. When we were getting together for it Grandpa called us "his girls". Grandma & Grandpa's house holds so many fond memories for us all, doesn't it?

We went to the parade in Menan. It was great-lasted about 8 minutes. For those of you who haven't been to Menan in a while (like myself), this is Grandma Jone's house. It's not yellow anymore. I walked right past it. I was looking for the cement pillars that were on the sidewalk and those were gone too. Becky really has it looking nice. I wanted to go inside to check it out but forgot to ask Becky if I could. Maybe next time.

Barbecue at Danny & Lisa's house the night of the 4th. Lynn, DiAnn & Pico at Grandpa's on Saturday. Poor thing, he was so afraid of the fireworks.
This is a message to everyone out there who expects John to cook fish on his grill.
Paulette & Terry at Grandpa's on Saturday.

Muehlfeit Family Reunion 2008 Pictures

Hello family! Here are some photots that I (Paula) took at the reunion this year. Not as many as usual, sorry about that. I will try to get LaRae & Mom's pictures on a disc (they used disposable cameras-GASP!) and add them to this. It was so nice to see everyone. We really are lucky to have each other and enjoy each other's company for a couple days each year. Thanks to Colleen and her family for planning it this year and a special thanks to Paulette and Terry for taking on the "crappiest" job of all! Thanks to everyone who contributed to the reunion fund with raffle items and money. It is appreciated! I love you all- Paula

Here's my pictures from the reunion..I didn't really take many pictures this year..sorry!! This picture is cropped to a 5x7 btw!!

And here's the outtakes!!

My parents came out to show us their "new do" today. They shaved their head cause a friend in their ward lost her hair from chemo so my parents and another couple in the ward decided to do this. It was funny to see Natalie's reaction at first..she just stared at them and finally said "What in the world??" But than she finally got used to it after a few minutes.
