Tyler's Idea of a Birthday Party

This year for his birthday Tyler wanted to go four wheeling. When we got to Dog Valley it was cold, and there was water every where. The boys were in Heaven!! The coveralls they were wearing got re-named to "MUDDERALLS"

Craig got his dog muddy as well as himself

The boys all smiled at the sight of mud puddles

Mud was flying everywhere!!

Tyler claimed it was the best Birthday Party EVER!!

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.
