Fire! Fire!


With or without grass, we decided to take advantage of what I'm sure was one of the last "nice evenings" of the year and try out our new firepit. This is the result of a family home evening project we undertook earlier in the summer. The kids were so excited at the prospect of having a campfire right in their own backyard! We had a great time singing a few songs and roasting slightly hardened marshmallows.(All I could find was what was leftover from a previous camping trip!) Only a few of which turned out a beautiful shade of black!


Update: In just a few short weeks, we are actually starting to see a slight "green haze" covering the backyard! GRASS!!

That looks like so much fun! The only addition you need is a few members of the Shipp family to join you! Way to go on your project (BTW, I can see the "grass" in the pic!)

Ang-you look beautiful! It has been way to long since I have seen you. Boo-hoo!

Angie, it's so good to hear from you!! Oh my gosh, how your family has grown! Your kids are so cute! You look fantastic, too, by the way. I LOVE your hair! :o) I'm glad to hear everything is going so well in Idaho. I love Idaho - it is so beautiful there. I'm glad you're blogging - I have found it has been so fun and EASY to keep up with people this way. Oh, and I laughed so hard at that picture of you with your kids and the other random child! Too funny! Look back a ways on my blog to the post "A new member of the family" and you'll see why. (heehee) Great to hear from you! :o)

Angie-I came across your blog from Jamie Shepherd's. Looks like your family is doing well! Tell Morgan congratulations on her baptism. I can't believe she is 8, it seems like yesterday when I taught her in primary :) BTW, I love your fire pit - how fun!
