Breckenridge
Every year we go to Breckenridge for CASE Conference (for Ben's work). These are some of my favorite pictures: of them being doctors and dressing up at the Children's Museum, playing at the park, rolling down the skywalk in the hotel, and swimming at the pool.
Blomstedt Family Reunion
Here are a couple shots from the Reunion. I have yet to completely sort through the hundreds of pictures combined by every family--there are so many great ones. So, I may be editing this post later on. We had a great time in South Dakota visiting the Reptile Gardens, Mount Rushmore, Black Hills Caverns--panning for gold, the Dinosaur Museum, Old MacDonald's Farm, and at the wonderful campground we stayed at.

Tails?!
I had to post this before I forgot--hopefully I will add some more posts later with pictures from our summer vacations.
We were in Breckenridge last week at Ben's work conference. And, we were trying to get the kids to sleep in the hotel. All 3 of them were lined up on the pull out bed and they were having a hard time settling down at the end of a fun day and not "touching" eachother. Needless to say the parents were tired and getting frustrated. Finally Ben says, "If you don't lay down, I am going to spank your tail!" Everyone could tell Dad was serious, and there was a short tense silence, then Sienna says in a quiet, thoughtful voice, "But Daddy, we don't have tails." Dad and I look at eachother, we crack a smile, and then break out into laughter along with all the children. Good thing those kids are so darn cute!

Kids say the funniest things!
Last week I was released as Primary President so this week the new Primary Presidency had done a little rearranging with the chairs in primary. On the way home from church, Emma (5) says:
"Did you see how they moved the chairs around in primary?"
"Yes, I liked it. I think it looked really nice." I replied, and Dad agreed, "I liked it too."
"Well, did you like how I couldn't find where I was supposed to sit?"
Ben and I just started rolling with laughter. I don't even know if it sounds that funny in print without her expression and exasperated tone of voice, but we thought it was hilarious.
Needless to say, I don't think our Emma is much for change--maybe we better warn the new primary where we will be moving to get their chairs in a row!
