My new hobby....

Okay so I would have never thought for one moment that I would enjoy craw-dad fishing but I do. It is so much fun. I pictured them as little shrimps but these honkers can get huge! We went three times last week and total craw-dad count was 100! I still do not eat fish under ANY circumstance but you boil them and they turn red like a lobster. Brad and Tucker enjoy dipping them in melted butter, they ate at least 50 of them LOL! I was so excited to go this weekend and then it has to rain. It is bitter sweet because I love the rain but I was bummed we did not get to go out. Brad built some really neat traps but catching them off our fishing poles with worms is working so good. You have got to try this!!! It picks up like crazy after dark.

Island Park 2009

Once again, the weekend in Island Park was much needed. This year we finally were able to stay in the new cabin, it is GORGEOUS! Oh my heck it was such a blast.

We went up Thursday night and then Friday we took Tucker fishing. He loved it.

I have to say that I enjoyed my little pink reel LOL and I am still learning we will just put it that way. I cast once up on top of the bridge, yes where the cars are flying by,that takes talent! Brad, Bri, Quintan and I decided that we should take the 5 mile river trip in a flat bottom on Friday...okay not a good idea. My mom, dad, and Nan watched the babies and we decided an adventure was in the making. There were some HUGE fish, but get in a flat bottom where none os us but Brad knew what we were doing, talk about a long day. It only took us 3 hours LOL! I was so burnt and I havent laughed that hard in a long time (thanks to Quintan and not knowing his opposites LOL). Brad tried to fish and we paddled, well that only lasted for so long.

We loved playing air hockey, fuse ball, and the best was the hot tub!


Tucker is actually really good at fuse ball, he is so competitive it cracked me up.

Bry is such an awesome baby, he was tryin to crawl so bad,he scoots backwards it is a ball watching him think that he is so bug!

Saturday we went into the park, we only made it to Old Faitfull because of the forest fire and on the other side the Norris bridge is out, so thank heavens it was free park day LOL!!

We love stoping at this little secluded area where when it is warmer LOL there are so many people swimmg. The kids were so tired by the time we made it to Old Faithful, we grabbed Tucker an ice cream and then he was ready for a nap. Bryken was such a great little sport, he did not fuss at all he just went along for the ride.

What is your favorite smell?

Tucker has the best Preschool ever. They do school Monday through Friday from 9:00-12:00. He brings home a new activity every day. I love it when he just busts out in a new song, his current favorite tune is about a tiny turtle it goes like this
"I have a tiny turtle. His name is tiny Tim. I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim. He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap, and now he's in the hospital with bubbles in his throat..bubble bubble bubble, bubble bubble POP!" It cracks me up. Well yesterday, he brought me a cut out of lips with a tounge and on the tounge it said "Tucker loves to taste oranges" So I am thinking good they are discussing the senses. He then brings me a picture that he colored, on the picture it says, "My favorite thing to smell is oranges" and on the bottom "I dont like to smell Poop". Oh my heck I cracked up! Miss Melissa his teacher told me that his response was the best in the class. He seems to be a little class clown but he really enjoys learning.

Labor Day Weekend!

"Familes Are Forever"

Labor Day weekend is going to be a hard time every year, but it is also a great time becasue we are all able to get together as a family. It always falls around my dad's birthday the 5th of September and then it is the weekend that we burried Bompa...going to Price and Ferron is very relaxing, fun, and difficult all at the same time. I treasure every moment with my family, and knowing that I do not get to see them very often makes those times even better. Shayla is now in Price attending school at College of Eastern Utah. She is magoring in Psyc with a minor in dance. She has a scholarship (well many) for the drill team and is also teaching at a dance studio. She is so fun! It was great this weekend as well becasue Bri and Matt were able to introduce Kelty to everyone. Our little family is growing all the time and it is great! I took a lot of picture and I think that it is important to cherish them all...We had a BBQ in Ferron on Saturday for Dad's birthday and then on Monday we had another BBQ it was a lot of fun. There is this really neat park in Price called the Dino Mine. Kara and I took our kids up and played, Danielle's little ones came up to and Shayla, it was a good time!
