Its been a LONG time coming

Its been quite a while since an update. This summer break has gone by way to fast. We started off the summer break in May, with a trip to Vegas. We stayed at the Luxor, then went to see Mystere. I loved the show and I was a bit surprised but I think Shay kinda liked it too! We were able to go to dinner with the Lovell's and see there darling new baby. The only thing bad about the trip is that I didn't get many pictures.

For Memorial weekend we went on a four wheeling ride. It was a wonderful day, we shoot guns and even had to fixed a flat.



Barb and Becky getting in a little practice.

The boys Shooting around.

Fixing the giant hole.

The Culprit.

We had a great weekend.

June was kind of a crazy month, we had a lot going on, but then it was July!

For the 4th we took our trailer up to what we like to call "Pig Camp". We have gone up there every weekend since. Its always nice and relaxing to get up on the mountain and out of the heat in town.

There was a lot of shooting bows at the pig target. This is where the PIG in "pig camp" comes from.

Nicole and Mary waiting for dinner.



Gracie and Cash loved giving each other kisses.

Barb and Stevie spent a lot of time catching butterflies.

And the fourwheelers are always a big hit.

Of course the boys (and Chy) have to cook their mutton!

and this year Nicole "did have a plate"

Its been a wonderful summer so far I'm just not quite ready to get back to school.

For Anne

I just thought I would do a little shout out to Anne. She makes some amazing cakes, and she started a new blog click HERE to check it out!

This is one she made for our friend hailee's bridal shower, its one of my fav's.

UPDATE

I know its been forever, and to prevent Steph’s threats of inappropriate comments, here’s an update...I haven’t stopped posting for lack of things going on its quite the opposite. We have both been pretty busy. I just finished my first semester of nursing school. I planned on spending two years of hating life, just trying to get through. So far I have honestly LOVED it! (Given it was only the first semester) but it’s been fun! I guess I never expected school to be fun! I have a lot of fun people in my class, and that helps a lot! Shays been staying busy with work, and he’s also taking classes online.

Need less to say he did a lot of hunting this fall. And we had a great time up the mountain.

Shays been wanting an eye patch for when he uses his spotting scope. After my many failed attempts at making one, I finally found a real one for him to use. It actually worked out pretty well, and was a great source of entertainment. Shay did get a deer this year as well as Chy, but of course I don't have any pictures of them. We had a great season up the mountain, and like always, we had wonderful food.

This year everyone really got into bottled venison. I do Love venison, but bottled is another story! It might taste great but the looks of it ruins it for me. I just cant seem to make my self try it. I did try to help them make it one night, but all I could stand to do was take the pictures.

We have had a busy fun past few months. Hopefully I can do better on keeping up with whats going on.

Lions and tigers and bears OH MY!

The bear was out for a stroll last night

Shay and Chris were in the process of moving the bear from one spot to another, they just happened to get a little side tracked along the way.

Of course "Teddy" had to go up stars and say hi to Mary.

Luckily he finally made it to his new destination.

Family Reunion

We just got back today from a family reunion with Shay's Fam. It was such a neat place. Its Ponderosa mountain resort and its right on the east side of Zion. It was the perfect place, there was so much to do. We stayed at a super nice cabin, and rode our four wheelers to get around. There were really nice swimming pools and we spent a lot of time there. There was so much to do; zip lines, rock climbing, paint ball, and a rec barn with all sorts of games. We all had a blast. I was sad to leave.

Zip line!

Everyone was helping Stevie with HER nap time.

This is the duck Shay made friends with at the petting Zoo. Make sure to listen closely to the video.

Update

Its been a long time and we have been staying pretty busy. We got our trailer up the mountain and have spent the last few weekends up there. It's been really nice, and I love the spot we are camped at right now. Last weekend there was a Bow shoot that the boys and Nicole went to. I'm so happy she went I actually had someone to take some Pics, thanks Cole!
