Getting Fired

Mommy: Girls, this morning I really need your help. We have a lot to get done around the house before we can eat breakfast. Malia has dance this morning. Then tonight we are camping out in the backyard. Tomorrow we'll be celebrating Pioneer Day, and then Saturday morning is the Primary Activity Day that Mommy is in charge of. The only time I have to get it ready is this morning and this afternoon. So can you all please help me by being really good listeners and doing what I ask this morning?

Lose: Or what, Mom...you'll get fired?

Davis Family Reunion 2009, Part 1

So I realized that I have many many pictures from the Davis Family Reunion that I didn't post. As background, this was our very first reunion on the Davis side with my parents as the Matriarch and the Patriarch. Our Maile side did our first reunion with Naki's parents last summer when we camped out at Rockport. Cassie's husband's parents generously lent us their cabins that are side by side lakefront properties in Hayden, Idaho. This is the view looking out from the cabin we stayed in, the blue cabin.


And this is the view from the water, taken by Ginny, coming back in off the lake in Grandmother and Grandfather's boat. The Daines' cabins are the white one on the left, and the blue one right beside it.


There aren't long explanations behind most of these pictures, except that the kids had a great time creating good memories with their cousins, Aunties and Uncles, and Grandmother and Grandfather. So here's one of the first post installments of several.
