Here are some pictures: from Tad's birthday, Isaac coming home from a mini pioneer trek and huckleberry picking.



While Porter babysat Davis, we picked an amazing 3 gallons of giant huckleberries on Saturday. We picked for over 6 hours.





Tad had a great birthday. We picked Tad's friend, Trevor, went to the movies, ate pizza the park, then went home and had sushi and homemade ice cream with the missionaries. It was a day complete with jedi fighting and Legos from Grandma.




Isaac went on a mini pioneer trek with the stake on Saturday. He chose Charles Smithies to walk for because he was musical. Isaac is thinking about getting a accordion.
