Busy Weekend

Don't let me fool you- I enjoy being busy, but these last few days have been out of control and all three of us are exhausted. Amber and the boys arrived late Wednesday night and Blake and I enjoyed a good visit and a relaxing day out at mom's house on Thursday. That eveing i attended Enrichment and a Bridal Shower. Friday Blake and I headed up to Rexburg to help Shane and Jess pack up to move home later that day. They had a crazy week and their place was out of control (no offense Jessica- i love you). After packing up their apartment we headed to Ashton for the Campbell family renunion. Doug arrived a few hours after us and enjoyed golfing with Dad, Tim and Joni. It's always fun to catch up with everyone and the boys had so much fun. Blake and Jackson spent almost the whole day in the bike trailer. (see the pics below) The Scott and Cindy Family cooked dinner- and I must admit that the dutch oven food is one of my favorite parts of the reunion. Dad always says "If you starve at the Campbell Family Reunion its your own fault."




We were exhausted by the time we got home and crashed. Saturday Doug took Blake to work with him and i headed to Sandy, UT for my cousin Katrina's shower with Mom, Sandy, Becki, and Amber. It was fun to catch up with more cousins and I'm glad we could all go.
Sunday was pretty much normal, consisting of singing time (the kids were off the walls for some reason) and then dinner with the Campbell Fam. Sunday evening was the viewing for Doug's Grandpa Perkes. Today was Grandpa's funeral and we had the honor of singing in a few musical numbers. It was interesting to lean more about his childhood and the great life that he led. It was also fun to see Sheila with her brothers. They all take great care of eachother and it was neat to see this experience bring them closer together. Grandpa Perkes has been a great example to us and it is an honor to be his grandchildren. We will miss you Grandpa Perkes!
