We went down to the Staheli Corn maze to see if we could make it through. Kamree and Jennifer got a little hungry while we were winding through all of the rows of corn.
The maze was huge. I think we only went through about half of it. Tyler was the general leading the way. We all followed him. (that way if we got lost we could blame him)
After the maze we went over to the petting zoo. The kids thought the best part was washingyour hands when you got through. Kolbie wanted to wash his for a good 10 minutes.
We went hunting in our "Usual spot" and Matthew got himself a 2 point. He only took one shot, and down it went. When they walked up to the deer you could see little blood bubbles coming out. That was all it took for Matthew to get sick. When we got back to camp, he had to clean the horns with baby wipes to get off any blood ( he has a blood ISSUE )before he could touch them for this picture. He was done hunting by Saturday afternoon, and spent the rest of his weekend on a four wheeler.
Tyler is very PROUD of his first deer. One shot, it dropped, and it's a 4 point. He has been smiling since opening morning. He got the first deer of the weekend, and set the bar high for his brothers. Craig is still hunting (he is after his own trophy of course ) So I will update when he finishes his hunt. It was a great weekend. The weather was even warm.
Ok, so I have decided to see if my hobby can help me make money. I have created another blog page, that is set up for scrapbooking. If you would like to go check it out there is a link below in the friends and family list, or you can go to uniquelyperfectdesigns.blogspot.com. Let me know what you think. It also has some cute pages if you are just looking for ideas.
can you see the reaching foul that "DIDN"T" happen?

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.

WOW 25 Years together
Jennifer and Dennis threw us a surprise anniversary party on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. We took off on Monday for a week long vacation from everything. The kids enjoyed a week without us, and we enjoyed our time in Yellowstone. We saw tons of wildlife, the only bad thing was the rain. It poured everyday for at least part of the day.
WOW
We went to the Senior Awards Program last night- the night was fun. Craig got 2 medals to wear for graduation, one for high honors grades, and one for foreign languages. He also got a bunch of certficates for high marks.

March Madness
The young men in our ward challenged the elders team to a basketball game. They thought they could show the OLD men how it's done, and have a little warm up game for the playoffs at the end of this month. It got pretty rough a few times! The final score- the boys 55- the MEN 87. Needless to say the boys got "SCHOOLED"
January Happenings
Matthew turned 16 in January and we tried to play a trick on him too, it just didn't go as planned. I made up a bunch of posters that had pictures of him at a young age and now- then put happy 16th birthday. We put them up all over the school, he took them all down (way too fast) But the craziest part is having another teenage driver.
