Kenna's Dream Come True!

During Elementry in the 4th grade while studing Idaho History you usually went on a field trip to Massacre Rocks outside of American Falls! Kenna on the other hand was never able to go! Here is why told from my prospective! I remember sitting a the kitchen table doing my math homework (I was such a good student) My Dad was getting to chaparone Kenna's field trip! He was getting flashlights -Twine and all sorts of odd things for this field trip! I looked at him and said "Dad you know that you are going to Massacre Rocks"! He looked at me and said "Yes Melissa" I thought wow my Dad is super over prepared why would you need flashlights! The day of the field trip my Dad drove his own car cause he gets sick! As he was following the bus but an ambulence drove down our rode so he followed it just to make sure it wasn't one of our neighbors! So when he got back on the rode he wasn't behind the bus anymore! When they got to where they were going there wasn't a bus! So he went to the visitors center! He asked where the Ellis field trip was and they gave him a puzzled look! They informed him that they didn't have a field trip that day! It then clicked that he wasn't at Massacre Rocks he was at Craters of the Moon (Hense the flashlights)! He tired to take a cutoff road but needless to say after letting Kenna drink a whole box of Capri Suns and having her throw up they just drove passed!
   This year like most year our family was going to be gone for Kenna's birthday! So I decided to surprise her with a picnic dinner to Massacre Rocks! We had a blast taking pictures and just being goofy!
Proof She made it! Alex is so excited! 
We are so awesome!
I am so glad they found us! Hahaha This is where Massacre Rocks is on the Oregon Trail! 
This Kid Seriously makes me laugh on a regular biases (I know that this is not the right word but you get the idea)!  
I love this picture! Idaho is so beautiful! Love it!

We needed a happy one!

Hahaha so funny! 
I am so glad to see her happy! She is one of the most giving people I have ever met! I am truly greatful that she is my little sister! She has been so strong and taught me so much! Love you Kenna! Happy Early Birthday! 
We are so cool! These are actually really funny! To flip through to see the motion but it is not the same effect on the blog! It was so much fun!

Love it!

Smuin Reunion!

The Smuin Reunion! This is a reunion of my actual family! It is my Grandma Wilding's side of the family! One of the best parts of the Smuins is how loud they are! I feel super quite around them and we know that I am really not quite! I really love them and it was super fun to hang out with them all last week! A special shout out to Aunt Joy who make me dinner every night and My Grandma who made me breakfast every day! I am pretty much a spoiled Girl!

A Little Slice of Heaven!

Indian Creek to me is a little slice of Heaven! I can imagine that one day if any of the members of the Wilding Clan get to the Celestial Kingdom none of them would be surprised that it looks a lot like Indian Creek! It is hard to describe to a non-family member (or even a member that doesn't come) the effects Indian Creek! I know that because of these 9 days in the mountains I have a group who will love me no matter what! I know that they have my back! I am sometimes over whelmed with the love that I feel from them and oh how I love them back!
Here are a set of Random pictures that I fell best describes Indian Creek!
Yes, all of these people are my family! Even Better I can name all of them! This is the big group photo!

We had Ruby's first Birthday on Sunday! She was so cute! The pool was to keep her clean! It kind of worked!

Part of being a cousin is to see how many you can fit into things: Chairs-Hammiks- hula hoops
