Ute Stampede

7-15-2010

I was so glad that we went to the Ute Stampede this year!  I wasn’t feeling much like going anywhere!!  We went with our Friends Matt and Ralaina and their kiddos.  The traditional flag jumper started things off just right with the kids so excited to see a man jump out of an airplane.  The kids had a great time at the rodeo and then stayed at the carnival pretty late after.  PJ and Kash played a dart game and won two big stuffed dogs, the guy that was in charge of the game knew Joe, from fixing his Transmission so he was very kind to the boys!  He yelled out Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!! and embarrassed us all twice!!  once for Kash and once for PJ , the boys now play like they are carnival workers and laugh about the guy being so animated.  It was fun and needless to say I was glad we went.

7-9-2010 – Ward Campout

Millers Flat for the Ward Campout.  The boys had fun getting all wet and playing in the water! PJ, Kash, Morgan and Jaban could play for hours!  Good Food, Good Fun and Good Company!

 

Joseph brought this caterpillar to Kash while he was in the bathtub.  We put it in a jar but the next morning it was dead….I think it got a little too much water from swimming the night before!

4th of July

the tradition of the 4th of July is to sit at Josephs parents house for the parade.  The boys were so excited for the parade and the airplane to drop the ping pong balls.  Then we went up to the park and let the kids play games.  To escape the heat we went on the mountain to Home Sweet Home and camped the rest of the weekend with my family.  We drove the Ranger down the logging trail and watched the fireworks in Scofield from the mountain.  This is always a fun experience and it is fun to spend time with family.  on Sunday the 4th it snowed on us, but by the end of the day it stopped snowing and raining and warmed up enough to go sit by the campfire.

Mormon Miracle Pageant

6-23-2010

We took the kids to the pageant it was fun they loved it!  PJ asked us, “is that really Jesus in real life”?  We had to explain to him that it was an actor because he wanted to go see him.  They were totally extatic about the Angel Moroni on top of the temple also.

Fathers Day 2010

After looking through some photos I realized that I needed to blog these ones from June…  Once I get caught up it will be nice and look more organized…. Fathers Day June 20, 2010.  PJ was so excited to sing in church, he walked right up to the front and sang his heart out. It was so fun to see him so excited.  Joseph had been on a Harley ride to southern Utah and had just gotten home Saturday night, when we got up Sunday morning PJ told him that his favorite thing was when his dad was home with them.  What more could you want to hear from your son, especially on Fathers day!  He also continued to tell him that Mom threw a fit!  I have to admit this pregnancy has been so much more emotional for me than the other three.  I did kinda throw a fit, the boys were running around playing and having fun and I kept asking them over and over again to pick up the room they didn’t even hear me so I screamed!  They both looked at me and looked at each other then started laughing because they had never seen me do that they didn’t know what to think, then I just started to cry and went in my bedroom and felt so bad, they picked up their mess and toys and then came in and hugged me, Kash said, “You need Dad huh”.  they are such sweet boys, and thankfully Joseph was home that night and PJ was right mom did “Throw a Fit”.  After church we went to Ftn. Green for a BBQ at my parents house.  The cousins always have alot of fun together and Grandpa even got on the trampoline with them.  Happy Fathers Day… Two very special Dads and fun Memories! Love you!

The Bat Cave!

June 29, 2010 – When the boys got home from the mountain they went on a Ranger ride to see an old gold mine in the north hills!  Thats right!!  gold in Moroni.  Joseph and his cousins, Jon, Thomas and Winston have been talking about it for weeks and decided to take the kiddos to see the Cave.  When they got home PJ and Kash told me all about it and called it the Bat Cave!  I guess they seen alot of bat poop!

Tuesday with Dad

Tuesday June 29 – PJ and Kash are the luckiest boys ever!!  They get to have their Dad stay home with them on Tuesdays while Mom goes to work.  Joseph decided that there are certain perks of owning your own business and this is one of them!  He really is a great Dad! On this particular tuesday they went on the mountain to move our camp from Winter Quarters up to Home Sweet Home.  They left Monday night and slept overnight then moved the camp the next day.  When they got to the camp it had been taken over by a few mice! So on the hunt they went at 11pm for mice.  They had alot of fun and were able to ride 4-wheelers and the Ranger then took the camp to the top.  Thanks Dad for being the best Dad ever!
