My Cute Family


About the middle of November our sister-in-law Brit took some pics of our family - here is what we are planning on using for our Christmas pic - Man we have cute kids! I'm pretty sure it isn't the easiest thing in the world to get everyone looking at the same time - looking and smiling is appears to be pretty near impossible - oh well it's still cute - I'm a lucky woman!

Old Pics






















So I've been working on a project for Christmas that has allowed me to dig through old family pictures. It has been fun to go back and see what we all looked like through the years. And its fun to see how much some of our children look like us when we were kids. I have such an amazing family - I love you guys!

Horse Riding With the Cutlers











One day this summer Drew and Lisa invited us to go horse riding with them up in Newdale. It has probably been 20 years since I have been on a horse. As always I am a big chicken and had to have alot of instruction. Drew and Barry both did a great job of assuring me that I would not die but I was still nervous - pretty sure the horse picked up on this. It was fun though and we super enjoyed it. I love this picture of Lisa in the barn listening to Drew explain to me how to stay on a horse. They have become some great friends to us and we have missed doing things with them the past few weeks while life has been crazy. Maybe we will get together again soon.

Heber Valley Camp


After we had camped at Pack Saddle Lake for 5 days we headed home Thursday evening for showers and laundry and then headed out Friday morning for Heber Valley Camp to Visit Elder and Sister Brown aka Grandma and Grandpa! We spend a few days learning what it would be like to be a young women attending girls camp at Heber Valley. We played in the canoes and paddle boats on the lake and hiked all over the mountain. It is one of the prettiest places I have ever been. We spent some time on one of the challenge courses - which was scary but lots of fun. Ok so it was scary for some of us and just plain fun for others. For those of you who know what a chicken I am - I get it from my mom who is even a bigger chicken then me! She did the challenge though - it was awesome to see her overcome her fear and have fun - ok maybe not- but still she did it and I think she enjoyed herself a little. We ate lots and lots of food - I think we each brought enough to feed and army. It was great to hang out and visit and relax and hang out with family. Barry and I each took a week off work for our campout and to visit with family - it was soo sooo much fun. I loved it. My parents are finally coming home this weekend. Their six month mission turned into eighteen months - we have missed them terribly but know they were doing a great thing. Thanks for a great time!
We had Tyree and Matthew with us for a few weeks again this summer and that was loads of fun. We sure hope they come back next year. Perhaps we can get Trevin this time too! Thanks for coming to visit you guys!
