Montana

We drove through Yellowstone on Saturday and saw lots of wildlife. And spent the night in Livingston Montana. Sharon went to church at the only ward their on Sunday. Then we went on the road to Uncle Bill's and spent Sunday touring their place. We stayed the night with Bill Grace and Alan. We took off Monday to Glacier national park and drove to the top of Logan Pass. We turned around and drove for a couple of hours and camped at one of the many lakes

Road trip

We took off from Hurricane and drove up I-15 to Idaho. We stopped in Idaho Falls and Rexburg and stopped for the night at Island Park Reservoir

Larry's Garden

The day grandma finally took pictures of the garden was the day Cindy decided to blow up the water slide in the back yard and invite everyone over. Always fun at grandma and grandpa's!!

The peas out of the garden were a great treat on a hot day of swimming.

Dad's been busy with his garden at his house too. Him and Chad have set up all the watering system using more recycled pipe and soaker hose.

These pictures were taken two weeks ago. The corn and tomatoes have really taken off since then!!

More home projects for Jen and Kasey

We decided to put a swamp cooler in this year since the house is already up to 85* during the day. We pulled out an old chimney hoping the cooler could run down the shaft.

Turn your head sideways!!=) This is in the boys room upstairs where the chimney ran through. We added 4 sq. feet to the room by framing this back in.

And decided the better option was to drop the cooler into the stairway!! Hopefully we will finish it up this Mon. and Tues. when KC is off work!!!!

Milford Community Garden

It is hard to tell from these pictures how huge this garden really is! Dad's ward decided it would be a good idea to do a community garden this year. One of the members donated his land for use out by the rodeo grounds. Dad recycled some old pipe from the pig farm for sprinklers and irrigation. The ward purchased the rest.

They've planted corn, tomatoes, beets, peppers, squash, peas, and red potatoes. Anyone in the community is invited to come and help maintain and all will benefit from harvest.

Dad and Mom have spent a lot of time and energy getting things going and making sure everything gets done. Even Chad and Wade help out a ton and have learned all about gardening!!

Jen's Family Camp Trip to Beaver Mnts.

We went camping to the Beaver Mountains this last Wed. and Thurs. We had to much fun!!! Kasey "rescued" a brand new baby duck that had gotten washed out of its nest. Since we couldn't find the nest we got to bring him home. He was so cute! Unfortunatlly, the altitude change was too much for him and he didn't make it in Milford.

The boys had fun hiking, playing in the creek, shooting BB gun's, and catching anything they could get their hands on.

The rocks were more slippery than Jase realized. He went waist deep into the freezing run off water and couldn't get back up!

With help from the dog and his little brother, Cole caught this baby chipmunk before I could even get the tent set up!!

Our first camp trip of the summer and it couldn't have been better!

Mama Mary's Cabin

We went to the ranch for John's birthday. We had a lot of good fun. John was especially excited when he shot a crow. Those darn things have put many holes in the screens up there, and left way too many poops on the front porch, benches and chairs. When he saw that crow fly over head, I had never seen him run so fast to get Aunt Jan's gun out of the closet. After one shot, down the crow fell. It was awesome.

I also loved these pics I took of Curits and Loyd's hay.

Happy Late Birthday Bo

Happy Happy Birthday Bo! Bo turned 5 on June 25. He had a great birthday party, even though it stormed and more people couldn't make it then those that could come. We went to the park and had hotdogs, cake, and presents. We played there for a couple hours and then we rented the swimming pool for a hour. We had lots of fun and Bo was spoiled rotten! Bo is a little fish. Here he is trying to climb out, so that he could dive right back in.
Here are the girls. Loni Sue and Miley are the best of friends. Loni takes great care of Miley and is so cute with her. Miley loved her first swim!


Here is my Bo with one of his prize presents!


Trying to Blow out the candle before the wind did.

Here Bo is with his birthday cake. We went to Mike's and ordered it. He picked it out all by himself and could hardly wait until we got to pick it up.

I love you, my big five year old

Casek's Kindergarten Graduation (Better Late Then Never)

Casek Graduated from Kindergarten this year!!! He looked so dang cute singing and preforming a little skit. Grandma Susan and Grandpa Larry weren't able to go and watch, so they sent their camera home with us. Well I forgot to charge the battery up, so it kept dying. Well Casek insisted that I record the whole thing for Grandma and Grandpa. I had to keep changing the battery with the second one and sqeezing out all the power they could muster. When they finally crashed, I had to hold the camera up on him the whole time even though they weren't on. I put it down once, so that I could use my camera to take a picture, and he cussed me to get the camera back up. Luckily he picked the front row for us to sit on. Casek just got done with a little skit and was walking back to his seat.
Casek had to say a part on the microphone and then hold it for all the little girls sitting next to him.


Casek and his friend would sometimes watch their parents instead of the teacher at the end of songs, so they would stay standing when the other kids were all sitting. (It was so dang cute)

Casek is singing all about America. It was his favorite song.

I don't think I have ever seen a cuter Kindergartner. He was such a cutie. I love you Casek!
