Mud Race.. Very Fun!

We did the Dirty Dash in Heber. It was very fun. Our friends the Campbell's came with us. The adults did a 10K,  and then the kids did a mile later in the day.  Bode had tons of fun, but could not get over the mess.

Ryder on the Bike..

 We were trying to teach Ryder how to go off the jump on his bike. We told him he needed a little speed so he rode as fast as he could all the way around the circle, when he was coming back across the street to go off the jump you could hear him say, "I got this, I got this.." I was so cute.

Wyoming..

The boys love Wyoming as always! I spent the day volunteering at King of the Hill, so next year I can ride in LOTOJA. Although, I missed the riding lesson, Bode & Cliff got one!

Boating Summer

We have a very fun boating this summer. Bode now water skis and wake boards, a long way. Ryder rides the knee board all by himself. We love playing as a family.  Any spare time you will find us on the boat. 

Rock Climbing

Fremont Lake

We went to Fremont Lake. Mandy & Brian live 15 from the Wind Rivers. Very Pretty! We did a little boat camping, hiking, water skiing, cliff jumping, rope swinging. It was fun to see where Mandy & Bri live. 

One night while boat camping the wind was howling, you could hear the waves beating the shore. We decided that we better check the boat. Sure enough the waives had beached it. Cliff and I got down to our nothings, pushed the boat back out into the water, the Cliff in the made waves, that were coming over the back of the boat, standing naked, through the anchor as far as he could, while I held the boat. It was an adventure worth remembering.

Cabin Swings

The magic of a rope and a stick. We went to the cabin yesterday, and boys will be boys. By the end the of day from head to toe covered, in dust, dirt, mud, and nothing but smiles.  We made the boys a swing at the cabin, then we went to the pond to throw rocks and found a bigger swing. Smiles, laughs, sun and happiness all day long. I love my three boys!

Lake Powell

We were so bless to get to go to Lake Powell. Cliff and I took over the share from Mom & Dad's house boat and this was our first trip being in charge. We did great! We had problems with one engine, but Cliff did an awesome job. Bode skied for the 1st time. We took our friends from the ward the Campbells. They have 3 young kids Kia, Tegan & Kalaya. Whitney came with us and was a great help. This was the 1st boating experience that our children LOVED. We could not get them out of the water, Last year this same trip I could not get them in the water, this trip I couldn't get them out. It was a major pay day for us! Bode went down the house boat slide, which is scary for him,  eventually he would go down it backwards so he didn't have to see how far the drop was, seemed to be less scary. I feel so blessed to have such an awesome family.
