Family Pictures Finally!

The last time we had family pics taken - this is what we looked like.  It was in November, 2001!

10 years later - this is how we've grown!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love this family!

Strange Sight!

 September 13th we looked out the window and found this strange cloud hanging around.  After a little help from Facebook friends, we learned that it was a contrail from a patriot missile test from out in New Mexico!  Cool!

Adios Old Friend

Jeff and I bought this little trailer many at least 12 years ago, back when we only had two kids.  One of our first camping trips in it was to Goblin Valley after Kimber was born and only a couple months old.  We put her in a Tupperware box to sleep.  Since then it has seen quite a few trips and more summer days when the kids would just want to sleep out or have a place to hang out in.  We just sold it this fall to a friend here in town.  We've outgrown it by a few more children!  We'll have to wait and see what the future will bring in the way of a new one!

Star Struck!

 September 15th while working at our Theater, McKenna met Matthew Gray Gubler from Criminal Minds.  She doesn't watch too much TV, but this is one she will sit and watch - she loves him!  He drew her a picture of an ice cream cone (they also have THE best homemade ice cream shop) and signed it.  Fun way to end the work season!

Barefoot Heaven

Barefoot Heaven (what my kids nicknamed it) is one of our kids favorite places to picnic.  Its up Limekiln Canyon not far from Panguitch.  Anyways, the kids love to go there and squish their feet all over in the glorious mud.  Soon after school started we went for a picnic up to Fish Lake.  The weather was windy, slightly cold and threatened to rain so we ate our lunch and then packed up and went to Barefoot Heaven instead.  Lots of fun!

Up at Fish Lake we got into a cherry spitting, water spitting contest.  Hands down - Garrett was the winner - must be a guy thing!

 Finally - Barefoot Heaven!  Ahhhh - sweet muddy bliss!

We might have to re-nickname it - Barebare Heaven!  I turned around and Leighton had stripped down to her birthday suit!  Just as well!

Best View

McKenna posted this picture to Facebook with this caption "Not to brag but I have the best view!!! I'm really going miss this view next year!"  I agree, it is a beautiful view!
