Memorial Day Weekend in McCall/Payette Lake

Overlooking Payette Lake in McCall on Memorial Day Weekend 2009. We spent 4 Days with Grandma and Grandpa Lund. They enjoyed having Emma and her mom and dad up for the weekend.

There is still snow on Brundage Mtn in the background, and Grandpa Lund heard of some people a couple of days ago hiking to the top to ski down on 4+ feet of snow still.

It was a bright and shiny Friday morning and nice and warm too.


The city of McCall just finished remodeling a water front park. It looks very nice and is waiting for the crowds to come enjoy it.

Emma's 1st Birthday Party

Here are some pictures taken earlier in the month at Emma's first birthday party with us at home. We had friends and family out to dinner for pizza and salad to celebrate Emma's 2nd Birthday.

Her friend Noah, (below) gave Emma the Mr. Potato Head, one of her favorites!!!

Grandma and Grandpa Steiner, and Auntie Pam, Uncle Wayne, Cousin Rachel and Cousin Lauren gave Emma her first ever Kitchen. It took Daddy several hours to put it together, but Emma cooks something up for us almost every day.


Emma liked the bags and wrapping paper just as much as the gifts that came in them.


Enjoying unwrapping her gifts!!!!
