American Canyon Hike

We took a hiking trip up the American Canyon in Timponages area. We hiked for over 2 hours and then it started raining on us on the way down. The hike was nice and refreshing. The kids sang songs on the way down. We went with our closest friends Jake and Sayra with their two girls Kayla & Tiffany. We all had a great time and the exercise is defiantly fun out side of our every day routine. We will start sooner and hike longer and higher next time.

This is as we were hiking up the trail

This was Mindi our teenage daughter the whole way down. As you can see she smiled the first hour then got in trouble for picking on the kids. So the rest of the hike she was upset and listened to her I Pod. I know she told her friends how cool it was and was glad she went with the family. She will never admit it to her parents. We love her anyway.

Entertainment In Utah

The Entertainment in Utah is to have a trampoline So for Devon's Birthday we got one. The kids jump on it until 11:00 at night. They have been having water on it to cool of the Utah heat of over a 100 degree temperatures.

I myself have even done a few front flips. Its been quit some time but its been a lot of fun.

Kids in the Tub

So as you were younger your mom would take pictures of you in the Tub all together. One night the kids were in my bathroom playing in the tub. I guess it was more like a hot tub. So I guess they are still young at heart.

July Birthday Luncheon

On July 19th we celebrated all the July Birthday's at Aunt Norma Jean's house. We had almost everyone there and ate lunch at of course some cake. We don't see them very often so it was a nice visit with everyone. Those who weren't there and couldn't make it maybe next time.

Ben and Nathan. He tries standing on his own and can hold himself up pretty well until he falls over. Ben was playing with him while the parents ate.

Mark and Lori we always have some much funny being around them and talking. They aren't to far away and should do more together. It was great seeing you guys.

Bailey and Hadley its always fun to see the girls. They are getting so much taller and older. Ethan is all boy. Plays all day and gets into everything. Its fun to see him walking.

Devon's 10th Birthday Party

It was a "Game Night" Party for

Devon's 10th Birthday. We had it at our home. There were about 10

kids and several games to play here

were some of them. I decided to make the

cakes this year. Devon loved them so that
is all that matters. Basketballs and a

Basketball hoop.

There were several different games we played. They were who could throw the

most baskets, who can throw a football the furthest, a skateboarding race.



Then it was inside for Air Hockey and Fuzzball. They would switch every 15 minutes for a new game and partners.

We ate pizza for dinner and opened gifts. Here were some of the ones

Devon received. It was a great time.

Cake was next. They ate almost all of it. I had the basketballs left and game them to neighbors.

At the end of the day Devon got his gift from the family. A TRAMPOLINE they are all on it everyday now.

He and all his friends had a great time. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEVON.
