City of Rocks

It was a weekend at the City of Rocks. Saturday night, we had 5 couples (Jeff & Lucille, Wayne & Robin, Casey & Heidi, Dale & Rhonda, and Wendy & I) take the 4-wheelers up through the park and into Almo where we met Leslie and Bryon at the Outpost for Steak Dinners. We had a great time. Then on Sunday evening, we had some friends from Nampa (Layne & Dorri Lee) come and visit. We took a ride up with them and enjoyed the scenery.

Fish Fry

Finally, Walker was able to eat his catch. I must say, it was pretty good, and it fed the whole family. (Walker and I were the only ones who ate it)

My Birthday Dinner

Whitney made me a birthday dinner. Too bad you can't hear the romantic music in the background.

Flip Flop Summer

Monday night we had a Bench Family Party in the Basin at Heidi's Parents house. They have a beautiful set up there. We BBQ'd hamburgers, hotdogs and Steak and Pork Loin over the open fire.

This kids played on the rocks.







The older cousins just hung out and bugged everyone else.





A little skeet shooting.





A little Swimming.


















A little Holy Board.

And a little R&R in the hammock. Then it all ended with Whitney tripping and and hitting her head on the rocks. She now looks like Rocky.

It's a Keeper!

Walker & I rode the 4-wheeler up to the Dam last Saturday Morning to go fishing. Walker finally caught his fist keeper, and he was as proud as could be. He just kept saying "I'm so happy I caught a fish".

We took it home and put it in the freezer and he has to show his catch to everyone who comes over. He wanted to hang it up in his room, but the freezer will have to do for now.

Father's Day

I had a great father's day! It started at 6:30 a.m. with Bishopric meeting. Wendy was kind enough to make orange rolls for all of us, and also sent me with a quart of milk. Her and the kids also gave me a new fishing pole, and a couple pair of shorts.

However, the day didn't go so well for Wendy. Not only did she have to fight Walker (who does not like church), but the lambs got out, and her and girls had to chase them across the neighbors lawn in their dresses. I think she was ready to turn those lambs into.....





With the help of the neighbor boys they were able
to catch the m and make it to church on time. Believe it or not, but they got out again that night, and thanks to Addison we able to catch them again. Anybody up for a BBQ?

Girls Camp

I attended my first Girls camp this week (no comments please, I can already see them coming). I take that back......I did attend one, when I was 8. That was when Craig and Kerry were tending me, and my finger was slammed in the door. After the Dr. Casted it, Dad took me up to camp to see Mom (still, please no comments).

I went to St. George last Wednesday for work, and then met the girls and leaders in Manti for the pageant. It was fun to see, since I haven't been there since I was probably Kelby's age. It was also fun to be there with Kylee, Kelby, and Nicki.

That night I stayed in Richfield, because I had an appointment there the next day. The rest of the crew went to Meadow and stayed with one of the leader's family. I met up with them for lunch at Cove fort where we spent the afternoon. It was fun to see where Uncle Delroy and Aunt Sidney spent their mission.

That evening we had a nice dutch oven meal, and then a program centered around the parable of the ten virgins. Nicki and the rest of the leaders did a great job. It was a very spiritual experience and I wish all of you were there to be with us. A memory I will cherish for a long time.
