Campfire Club

For the boys' birthday parties, I always hit up our local candy shop in Downtown PO. The owner is so nice and has so many ideas. Lately, she's been carrying camping themed books, etc. She started a campfire club with her neighbors when her kids were little. It stayed with them and now her grown kids and their families keep the tradition going. We had a fire pit at our last house and we used it so often. We even hosted parties for some of our church youth as a safe clean place to get together. Scott's birthday usually kicks off our outdoor season here, so we decided to build another pit here. Our local rockery has these kits already palleted and ready to go. Tom just trucked in some rock as a bed and he and Dallin began leveling it and setting the stone. It is SO perfect. I love that we get to hang out here and spend time as a fam. Eventually, we'll pour concrete around it for chairs or benches to sit on. Now I just need to make some more adirondack chairs to go around it:) The ones I built a few years ago are very sad. I think I need to use beefier materials.:) There's a lot of beef in this family:) (Not referring to the cow we now own...what's next, Tom?)

Wow, Nice job with the birthday party! So glad to see the firepit and that you are starting to really enjoy your acreage. And a cow? Seriously? We need to talk more often my friend!

I am a mom to three wonderful boys. My DH worked hard to allow me to stay home and raise these lil' guys for almost 11 years. I am now working at a local hospital as an inpatient pharmacy technician. This is a new adventure for me. I hope I can balance everything out. In my "spare" time, I love to scrapbook the memories we are making.
