What would camp be without Snipe Hunting? We even used a puppet that looked so real.

More Snipe Hunting
Our Momma Hummingbird. Can you see her baby?
Last but not least. Wizzer. Our Bear hunting dog.

Where has this month gone?? I'll tell ya where. Reunion at Fish Lake, Las Vegas, and Girls Camp. Whew! Just let me catch my breath and get some laundry done. I can't believe that June is already over. So sad. Now, just 1 month and 1/2 before kids go back to school. YUCK!

We went up to Boullion Canyon in Marysvale for Girls Camp '09. IT was gorgeous. We camped right next to this gorgeous stream that was more like a river. Awesome campground and a little action with a bear in the area. Thanx to Bishop McAllister for having his loaded Bear Gun handy. Wizzer is actually a Bear Hunting Dog. They let these hounds go and they chase the bear, and when they are tired of it, they come home. Such sweet dogs. We had 2 come into camp and a lab that got loose from it's little old lady owner, a raccoon, a hummingbird, and countless bugs and squirrels. We had such a good time. The leaders had a great time staying up until 2 laughing. I am proud to admit we outlasted the girls both nights, and Sister Boyter did a great job scaring the girls with her "Long skinny fingers, and big purple lips" story. We hiked up to the big beautiful waterfall and let the girls play underneath it. It was fabulous. We have an awesome bishopric that came and helped, and the Michaelsens for coming too. It was awesome! Now, we can pack for Montana. Wheew!

NO Pics!

O.K. I am absolutely against blogs with no pics. Sorry friends who have one. I just would rather look at pics than read blogs, unless their funny. This website is so fun, though and I just had to share. It's like 1 million blogs in one because of all the links. She blogs a new craft 5 days a week. How great. It's just so entertaining to look at and get ideas from, and go to the sites she links and look there too, and then go to their links and look there too. You get my point. Anywho, just thought I'd share. Happy crafting, baking, and sewing!

Lindseys New Haircut

We got Lindseys hair cut yesterday. We cut layers and some bangs. She looks about 5 years older. Bummer. It's really cute though, and we love it. Always nice to have a change.

Memorial Day Weekend

Paityn and Wade going to fish on Zeb's Creek in Fishlake
Just a little steep. Wade got her down there, and it started to rain. Huge, freezing cold drops of rain. I had to go and get her, and he started running up the hill soon after. BRRRR!

So, what do you do when it rains? Stay in the car and wait it out.


.............More waiting



Finally, the rain went away. Let's try again.
We always take the Tahoe up on the Mountain, but there is no TV or DVD player. Yuck! I am so spoiled and so are the kids




Do you see 3 poles here? No, just one. Dad's. Kind of funny don't you think?





Lindsey had to show Paityn the fake police officer in Torrey on Main Street. You can tell by the look on her face she didn't like him very much.






Fishing, and tennis. What more could you ask for? I'm telling you, someday these kids are going to make us some money! Ha.







The worst part of tennis is picking up the balls.









Make it into a contest and it is much more fun! Good job today guys?!
Sad to have the weekend over, but only 4 more days of school! YAHOO!! Can't wait for the freedom! Remind me that I said that in about 2 weeks when we are all bored to death!







Ditch Water

Now, I know that swimming in the ditch is customary here, but I still think EW!! From swimming in our Brown Lake in Georgia to playing in the ditch water in Utah. Can't my kids find good clean burn your eyes out chlorinated water?? They had fun though! That's what counts.....
I don't have no munee for the publik pool kids, go play in the ditch!


Don't know where the other kids have been. These are only pics of Paityn......

Sh.... We secretly don't like those other kids anyway. Haa Haa. Just kidding.

They have just been busy with other things I guess.
Anyway, here's Paityn on our Ghetto tire swing. She absolutely loves it. Luckily our grass is much greener now.
She is going to be the next Serena Williams if Wade has anything to say about it.
The first "Sprinkler Tramp" outing of the Year. Finally... warmth.
Paityns very first fish. What a proud father she has.
She didn't even want to come home. She just wanted "to get more fishes with the black polka dots on 'em ."

Kite Day

Yesterday in honor of turn off TV week we went to the park to fly kites.


Thanx to Aunt Lisa for the kites. The kids loved it.







Good times, good times, now I'm done. Whomever thought of turn off TV was probably not a mother.
