Duck, duck, duck, GOOSE!

I just recently had a birthday and turned 26 years old! Yep your read it right, 26. So, I thought about what I wanted to do on my special day, and realized that when you get older , birthdays really don't mean as much anymore. Sad , I know, but true. I realized that I needed to do something that my kids would enjoy doing. So we loaded up in the car and headed to the nature park in Rexburg to feed the ducks and geese. Holy Moley! There had to be over 50 birds!! It was awesome! They swarmed us like flies on a cow pie! We couldn't feed them the bread fast enough. I was getting bit by the same duck the whole time. I think it was her way of getting my attention, and yes, it worked. OUCH! It's a good thing they don't have teeth. The kids and I absolutely enjoyed every moment of the crazy birds. It was so much fun. I highly recommend it. Just beware, they will run you down until you give them something to eat!!! All in all, I had a wonderful birthday! Thank you everyone who called, text, wrote on facebook, and stopped by, on my special day. I appreciate all of my friends and family!

A Happy Halloween

The Hillman family had a great Halloween!! We started off the day by doing our ward trunk-or-treat at 3:00, which was a great idea to do it that early cause the weather was awesome! The sun was shining and there was not even a breeze. Perfect. After that we went trick-or-treating to our neighbors and friends, and gathered more candy. Mind you, this was only 4:00 in the afternoon and the candy buckets were loaded. We had some time to kill before our family party, and decided to go to the Chester trunk-or-treat with Grandma Hillman. Once again, the kids loaded their candy buckets. SWEET! We had so much fun everywhere we went! Finally it was time for the family shindig. We filled our tummies with yummy soups and bread bowls, relish trays, homemade root beer, and hung out with great family and cousins. It was a great way to end our day. I hope you all had a great Halloween.
