Shinedown

Went to my first concert in FOREVER and Shinedown always does such a good show. It was Beck, Paul, Michelle and me. They are a band I would go to every time they are in town. 

Grandma Grandpa Camp 2-26

I love that there is still a camp for the grandkids. The numbers this year were small, I still love that all those who can make it go. One bad part about having some of the younger kids (mainly Jacks) is he doesn't remember some of the other family things as well as the other kids do. Our kids don't remember the Barnes New Years Parties much. Jacks doesn't remember the Easter Parties or the few Arrington Reunions we had. I love that they are keeping it going for the younger kids to have those memories. 

This year they were in Twin, they did a cook out, played games like reverse charades, got ice cream from a truck. 

They split into teams and did an escape room. My kids all love them, so it was fun for them to do. 

Grandpa's team was the winning team. 

Saturday was a day of service. They helped at the Soup Kitchen. Then they were supposed to go the animal shelter to help out, however whoever took their reservation did not write it down. So they were unable to do that. 

Mini golf and Pizza Pie instead. 

They were tired when they got home, but they all had a lot of fun!

It's Official

 It's official! Cailey is the newest member of the Barnes family. Today was Camden and Cailey's wedding. They did a small intimate ceremony today and then in a year-ish, they are going to have a big celebration when all the family can come and a few people are home off missions. We drove to Twin this morning. The girls went to the Arrington's and the boys went to the Barnes, then we met at the Rose Garden at CSI. 

It was so fun and such an honor to all get ready together. 

When we got to the Rose Garden Cailey video called her family to they were able to see it and be there one way. 

One Irish tradition is wearing a horseshoe on your wedding day. It is giving good luck to the new couple. When we went to Ireland, we couldn't find them and found out that it's not done as much. When they got engaged I wanted to her at least have a little of the tradition, even if she didn't want to wear it, I was just happy she had it. I ordered it off Etsy from a girl in Ireland. I didn't tell my mom about it (I thought I did) and it meant the world to her to see that tradition keep going.

Beck was the officiant. I mean who better to marry Camden then his twin. Beck did such a good job, maybe a side gig in the making. 

Then lots of pictures! 

Cam carried her to the car most of the way, Cailey was over the shoes. 

She was smart and brought comfy ones for afterwards. 

We went to Red Robin afterwards for lunch. Beck did a mini photoshoot there. 

We drove back to Boise and they are off on a mini staycation. They made their cake and its perfectly them. Cam loves Dinos

I tempted the fates with gas on the way home. I did stop right when we got to Boise to get gas because the 'miles left' stopped showing. 

All in all it was a beautiful perfect day and were so excited to have Cailey officially in the family.
