The Chickmas Family Reunion (On the way up)

We left Thursday morning to head up to Tracy's house.  For most part it was a nice drive.  We made a long stop in Weiser Idaho and had some lunch.  My sister Katie made us all sandwiches.  Then we were on our way again.  We stopped at New Medows.  This is where Jeremy caught up with us on his motorcycle.  He didn't stay with us for long.  He got a head of us, he likes to go fast on his motorcycle.

We stopped at a restroom before we went into Riggins.

Here are the girls playing by the river.

We also stopped at a little fruit stand outside of Riggins.  They had some really yummy huckleberry pie filling.  I wished I could have bought some.  Maybe next time.

The Canola fields outside Grandgeville ( I love those)

After Grandgeville we got behind a drunk driver.  Really it was my mom and my sister who were right behind him.  It was really scary to watch him.  My mom and sister were able to pass him, but then he passed my sister again.  A truck that was in font of me called the police.  We got stopped at a construction site and a Idaho stater got in front of Katie and when we were out of the construction zone pulled the guy over.  It was really scary.

I took this picture waiting at a construction zone. I love all the green.

We finally made it to Tracy's house, all of us safe.  It was so good to be at her house finally.  Jeremy beat us there but I figured that.  Now it was time to start our super fun weekend.

10 Years of Marrage

Wow, 10 years seems to have gone by fast!

10 years is a big deal these days!

We made it to 10 years!

I am glad I married a wonderful man who takes care of me and my family.  I will say that it hasn't been all easy.  We had are rough times, but we got through them.  I am sure more rough times are to come.  It's nice to say we have been married for 10 years.  We did it!  We can do another 60 years or more.

We didn't do a huge thing for our anniversary.  We invited some friends and family over and had a BBQ.  That was fun.  My mom brought her bouncy house, it got ripped but we taped it up.  We will have to find a permanent way to fix it.  The kids loved it and had a good time.  We made some hot dogs hamburger and my famous pulled pork (ok that's what Jeremy calls it).  We all had a good time chatting.  We were going to get a game of horseshoes going, but the weather wasn't that nice, it was a bit chilly so that didn't happen.  Next time we will play.  

I made a nice little cake to celebrate our 10th anniversary.  It turned out really cute.  First cake that I have ever made like that.  My friend Shannon helped me with it.  So before everyone left my mom sang to us and Jeremy and I cut the cake with the knife set we had at our wedding, so romantic until I shoved the cake in his mouth.  He was to nice and didn't try to feed me any of it.  The cake tasted pretty good.  I also made German chocolate cup cakes which I think everyone loved.  German chocolate was our sheet cakes at our wedding.  It's one of my favorite.

I think it all turned out good.  We had a ton of food left over so we spent all weekend eating it.  I'm glad to be able to spend the 10 years with my husband.  I can't believe he can put up with me that long.  I love that wonderful man.

I had to put in this  photo too

Jeremy and I got our horseshoe pits all cleaned and ready to be played in.  So we did some practice throws.  I made this one!  This is the only close one I made.  Jeremy actually got a ringer.  I almost hit the house.  Hopefully I wont be playing that bad on Friday.
