Jacie, Grandma and I made her batgirl costume (my first attempt at any costume).

Photo Class

I have been taking a photography class in my mom's ward the last few months and i have learned so much. I really am enjoying learning and getting to take more pictures. Here is some stuff I have done lately.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend was a blast. We unfortunaltely had made plans with friends to go to the cabin for the weekend and had to miss my nephew Alex's baptism. Sorry Alex, we are so happy with your decision to get baptised. I can't believe you are eight already.


So, Friday we headed out. The Mead's, McKnight's and Young's joined us for an exciting and relaxing weekend. We ate well and played hard. The boys ended up sleeping in a tent, and the first night it poured on them. Saturday we got up and after breakfast we headed out to the pond for a bit of fishing. We had 22 people trying to share 5 poles. We did not catch much, but I think the kids had fun.
























The guys put the railing on the tree house, and then some of them went off to play ultimate freesbie for 9 hours (Ha, Ha). Jacob stepped on a nail, to add to the excitment. Joe was kind enough to watch the kids so we girls could get out on the quad's and hit some trails. We had a blast, I wish we could have got more of that in.














We got a hike in on Sunday afternoon. The kid had fun searching the meadow for the remains of a cow. They all wanted to take the bones home, the parents did not.
















































We caught a picture of the crew before the Youngs had to leave. We playes some games and enjoyed the great weather. Monday was a bit of atv's and some clean up. Thanks to all for the great weekend.

Summertime

We have been busy swimming and playing and spending time with friends and family. Life is good. Too bad summer has to end. The kids are begining to look forward to school, but I am dreading it. I love having my kids home, even when they can not get along. School starts Monday so we better get ready. Here are a few picts of some summer fun.

Our Anniversary

We are celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary this month. On the day, we were able to go to dinner and relax watching a movie. But thanks to my parents, sister and friends we were able to get away for a few days to southern Utah and enjoy a couple of days on the ATV's and hiking. It was great to have a few days have some time and not be stressed about getting back to the kids. But, we did miss them while we were gone.

Great ATV Trail we found

I can't believe it has been 15 years. It seems like yesterday we began this marriage, but I can't remember what life was like before I found Joe. He is an amazing man to put up with me for the last 18 years. Thanks for making my life great, Joe!
