Hintze Family Reunion

The Hintze's had a family reunion up in Midway, UT at a cabin. I think there were about nineteen kids under the age of 10yrs. We had fun shopping, golfing and having a "Tea Party" with Grandma. Here is a peek of the girl party.

Two broken limbs in three days!!

Paige was jumping on the tramp with her older brother Braden on Saturday, July 3rd when "snap". Down she went and off to the doctor Chris went. While we celebrated the Fourth with a BBQ and fireworks, Paige was getting x-rays and a splint. (The next Wednesday she got her cast put on at Primary Children's.)

Three days later, Tuesday night, Braden was swinging on the swings and decided to try a fancy trick to impress his friends and "snap" a buckle fracture on his wrist. We took him to get a cast on Wednesday morning and then took Paige to get her cast Wednesday afternoon.

We thought all hope was lost to go to Lake Powell in a month- two kids in casts that can't be in the sand or water. But thankfully we got both casts off- Paige three days before and Braden the night before. We are blessed!!

Camping in South Fork

This clip is a video of our campsite in the Lower Meadows above Huntsville, Ut. Camping is my favorite thing to do with my family. It is so relaxing. We played board games and tag, talked, went on bike rides, fished, played in the lakes and rivers, roasted stuff over the fire, hiked and watched a movie. We had a great time!

The Activity

For camping to be good, there has to be a river or a lake nearby. For Chris it is the main event.
Chris caught a few fish from this river by our campsite. He once had Paige on his back and was fly fishing. He caught a fish and Paige touched it. Then, he caught a second that was quite large. Paige told Chris that the fish "was scary" and she did not want anything to do with it. Chris said that was the best compliment anyone could ever give.

All our kids enjoy casting even though they do not have hooks on their poles. Braden is the only one that fishes with a hook.

Aubrielle's Baptism

Aubrielle's baptism was very special. She was able to be baptized on her birthday with her cousin Logan (Natalie's son). She also had lots of family there to support her. We had family drive from Colorado, Kaysville, Spanish Fork, Salt Lake and even Arizona!! It was so neat to have all of our family there. I know that Aubrielle has made a great decision to get baptized. I know more and more that Heavenly Father can make more of our lives than we can alone.

I am also so grateful to have a wonderful husband that holds the priesthood and honors it.

McKenzie Graduated!!

Kenzie had her Kindergarten Program in which they sang, sang, sang! They all did a cute job. In this video, Kenzie has on the bright green shirt. McKenzie loved Kindergarten, her teacher and her friends. She now can't wait for first grade when she can miss naptime and eat lunch at school.

Aubrielle's Hannah Montana B-Day

Aubrielle had a Hannah Montana party this year. We had her friends over, ate pizza, made a Hannah Montana purse, ate cake and ice cream, opened presents, did a pinata, danced the "Hoedown, Showdown" and then watched the "Hannah Montana Movie". While we watched the movie, we made bracelets. I think all the girls had a lot of fun.
