Barbeque

We all played the race car game after we got done eating. It was quite fun to watch. Everyone started using the tree as a sling shot to try and pass the other runners. While you were waiting for your turn to race , you get to be a member of the pit crew. After the first lap, you spray the googles -and wash the windshield. After the second lap, you change the flat tire (tie a sock around the runners leg) After the third lap, you fuel the car (give the runner a drink) can I just say we had alot of -SPLASH AND GO.

We even got Emalee and Sharlee to play. Shanda ran the track with Sharlee, and Matthew ran with Emalee.

Everyone had a lot of fun. The kids had so much fun, we traded racers around and they raced three times.

FUN TIMES!!

The Haggertys came to St. George to visit. We had a lot of fun. We went to the community center to swim, (here the kids are out of the pool for a little snack break) we also went to skinny man's cave. Try as I might I couldn't get all the way through. One little 2 foot section just wouldn't let me by (I tried from both directions) But we did have a lot of fun. And Shjon very nicely "Helped" the parents get back down to solid ground. The weather even cooperated so we didn't have to bake during all of our adventures.

Sad News

The tiny brown and white puppy died when he was only two days old. We tried to help him, I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Muffy (the black puppy) is doing well!! She has Kiarra's undevided attention and gets fed ALOT. She has a cute chubby belly. She still doesn't have her eyes open. When that happens I will post another picture.

Finally the Puppies are HERE

What a long day!! She had 4 puppies, but only 2 survived. The little brown and white one is a boy. The black one is a girl.

They are TINY !!

Out and About

We all went out riding while everyone was here for a visit. Kamree tried learning to drive a bike all by herself (she only has one speed- full blast)

The boys tagged along with anyone who would give them a ride.

Kolbie's favorite part of the whole week was Uncle Tyler. These two were attached at the hip most of the time.

FUN!!

the young men and young women in our ward decided to do something fun for their activity for the end of the summer. All 6 groups had to build a boat, it could be made out of anything you wanted as long as it only cost $35.00. All the boats were made (Kary's group- the teachers- built a 12 foot long, 4 foot high, pirate ship) the whole group headed out to Quail Resevoir to have a race and see who would float. Tyler's group tied a matress to some big foam blocks, and Matthew's group took a large sheet of plywood, cut two holes in the middle, put buckets in to sit in, then put big round pipes under the edges. It was an interesting sight when all the boats got to the water. Matthew helped build his boat, but he had football practice while the activity was going on so- Craig took his place on the boat. To make a long story short, the priests (Matthew's boat) won the race, Deacon's got second, then the girls after them. The pirate ship- it sank. But not before the boys had time to bomb the other ships with water balloons. All of the kids had fun.
