We went out to take family pictures while everyone was here for the weekend. It was a challenge but we did get everyone in the picture.

I don't know how many of you have known about my crazy diet but here's a picture of me so you can see I haven't been lying about the weight loss. 50 pounds off and a few more to go.

Football Season

the Pine View High School football season is well under way. Matthew is number 92 (according to him- a lucky number) and he is having fun.
Matthew's team is the one in dark colors- he is the one standing on the end waiting to pounce.
They have had a good year so far. Matthew's only injuries to this point have been losing a fingernail, and a sore shoulder. He really likes the tackling part, and manages to get clear across the field to help out. It is fun to watch.

Off To U of U

What a week. He got his car tuned up, changed the oil, renewed the plates for another year, and 2 new tires. He went through everything he owns and packed for school. Got in his car Thursday morning and headed out to school- he called 30 minutes later to say the car was smoking. Kary called everywhere looking for a part, finally at the bottom of the list he found one in stock, and we headed to Cedar City. Thank goodness that fixed the problem and he was able to continue his trip- while we went back home.
He did arrive at the school. He has moved into the dorms. And school starts on Monday.

Hunting Season is on the Way...

The boys all went camping so they could scout for the deer hunt. They all saw alot of deer, and believe it or not, mostly bucks. They spent the day riding all over on the four wheelers and having a great time.

Campin' Anyone

As you can see we have been spending a lot of time on the go. The boys have been camping so many times in the past month I think they are always this dirty. (and as you can see from the picture it has really helped with the brotherly love) Tyler just finished a week of scout camp. Craig and Matthew have been on 4 more camping trips. They went camping for super activity this weekend. All of them have been having a great summer.

Four Wheelin' Anyone?

We went four wheeling and the boys decided they were going to get to the end of this trail no matter what. This huge log had fallen, blocking the whole trail. They hooked up the winch on the front of Kary's bike and tried to pull it off the road. It moved a little and then got stuck. Next they broke off all the branches, lined everyone up on both sides,and lifted....
Amazingly they got the log far enough off the trail to drive around it. There was a stream that wound back and forth across the trail, that we were going through nice and slow. We didn't want to be covered in water and dirt. (all except Matthew) Matthew would wait until everyone else had gone through the water, get a running start, and make a big splash. He soaked him and Tyler from head to foot. I didn't get a picture of it but you could hear the laughter for miles.


About a two miles up the trail they found another log over the road, this time it was lodged and no way to push it anywhere. They broke all the brances off, and drove underneath ther log. Kary's bike is the biggest, so he went first to see if he could fit. He was leaning over pretty far, but he made it. I got pictures of the rest of the crew going under. (I walked, thought it would be safer)


After all of this, we made it about 200 feet from the end of the trail. Right at the end 3 trees had fallen crossing each other and we couldn't go any farther. The boys had fun, and they got to go through all the fun obsticles again on the way back.

Trip to Yellowstone

We went to Yellowstone for our anniversary trip. This arch is in Afton, Wyoming.
We saw alot of buffalo everywhere.
There is still a lot of snow in the park
But the bears are out! And on the Hunt for food.

It was a fun but wet week.
