Goose hunting...

This post is for Hadley and Kade. They took Skyler, and Tate to Idaho for a weekend and had a GREAT time...I personally don't understand it, maybe someday I will like to go lay in the freezing cold, and wait for some birds to come.

Halloween

This Halloween we had some of our friends and family over and had dinner, and took the kids trick-or-treating and then just watched movies and had a great time together!

Another year of school

Preslie's birthday is July 19th, and we couldn't decide whether to hold her back,or let her go to kindergarten. The more people we talked to about it and the more we weighed the pro's and con's we finally decided that we would hold her back. We put her in a different pre-school, Learning Dynamics, she goes three days a week and they started reading and simple math. She has done so well, and has really excelled.

Family Fishing Day....

After Hadley got home from Alasaka he was on the count down for duck season, so we had to take the boat out for a little fishing trip to make sure that it was running good. We went on a Sunday afternoon down to Utah Lake and fished for about an hour...as long as the kids would last!

Alaska with the boy's.....

My dad took all three son-in-laws to Alaska last August, he also invited all their dad's to come go with them. Our family friend took his two boy's, son-in-law, and his dad. They all had so much fun together!! When we picked them up from the airport, Hadley was grinning from ear to ear, and the whole drive home he would not quit talking...if you know Hadley, that never happens. They fished, fished, had some bear encounters and fished. He still is talking about it to this day, and can't wait to go back.

*Hadley caught a really rare salmon...had to put it back*

*Just a FEW of they fish they caught on the river*

*Bear coming to feed, as they are leaving the river*

*I think he smells all the fish ;)*

*This big boy was in their camp*



*First day fishing on the river. The next they ALL had to fish the river*


*Hadley was alone with a backpack of salmon when this guy came on the river bank. Hadley slowly moved from one side of the river to the other*


* He is standing in the exact spot Hadley was fishing*

Slowly but surley....

Ok...I am going to attempt the daunting task of updating our family blog...wish me luck! This may take hopefully only a few weeks..but, as I look back at what I haven't posted about this may take a little longer than anticipated..LOL!!! I am going to try and get this caught up as much as possible before I go MIA....trying to study for the DAT!!






I found this, and just laughed because this is what I look like studying before a big exam, and only wish I could run an IV of coffee..LOL!!
