The great outdoors





As a family we love to spend time in the mountains. We love to throw the rocks in the water, roast marshmallows and hot dogs, build campfires, and go fishing. Instead of being inside for our weekly Sunday dinner with the Bishop family we decided to up the canyon and enjoy the outdoors before the cold weather sets in and we are inside for a while. We had a good time by the little stream that went through the campsite. Matt & Brooke had brought their fishing gear and so we thought we would let the kids give it a shot. Jed (since he is still a kid at heart) only had the real and no pole to fish with, ended up catching FOUR, yes four fish! We let the kids help pull them in and then we would set them free.  It was a lot of fun being with family and being in the mountains for one last time before winter. Ya gotta love the great outdoors!






Toby Keith, Birthday, & Family

Montgomery Gentry
Here we are (Jed, me, Brooke,my sister-in-law & Matt,my brother.)
 at the Toby Keith concert at the Usana Amphitheater.
 For my dad's birthday this year we decide
d that since Toby was coming to town, and my Dad likes Toby's music, and we never know what to get my dad that isn't so predictable, my brother Jake had the idea to get him tickets to the show. Well we all thought that was great and so we all pitched in for his ticket and then we thought... know who is going to go with him to the concert? hummmmmm
So then we all wanted to go, so we did! It was a good time. Montgomery Gentry opened for Toby and they were awesome. Then Toby came out, his songs are fun, and I just love Toby's patriotic songs. He ended the concert with one of them and it was really neat. I am glad that we went and was able to have fun for my Dad's birthday. Happy Birthday Dad! 

Sunday afternoon


We love to spend time as a family on Sunday's. We are luck to be close to family. This particular Sunday we went over to my brother Matt's house and he has a large backyard so we decided to play a little friendly game of water balloon volleyball. This was a lot of fun. It was fun to get my mom and dad involved and a little competitive as well! 

My Mom & Dad. Aren't they so cute!

While we were playing volleyball the kids were popping our water balloons and Grady was in the jumper hooked to the swing-set. Grady was a crackup as you can tell by the video that is posted below. This was the first time that he had been in a jumper and he had himself a good time.
