High Priest BBQ

On Saturday we went to a BBq for the High Priest. At the BBq they had hay rides, buggy rides and horse back rides. The kids had a blast. The food was good too, but the conversation was great!

Connor was so excited to ride the horse he was the first one to ride.

Look at how happy he is on that horse.

Connor is roasting a marshmellow, not taking a leak, it looks bad, but its all good. See the tractor in the back ground, that was pulling the hay ride.

Aubrey was in heaven, she didn't want to get down.

She's a natrual

look at that fun view...such a fun plan to ride.

Katie was kind enough to walk all the kids around so they could ride a horse.

Although excited to get on the horse, she was scared out of her mind.

She didn't go far, but she loved being on the horse after she got going

yep thats all the farther she went. She had fun and thats all that counts.

Loading all the tables and chairs after the bbq, the first time all the tables and chairs fell off, so they had to start over.

There ya go, its on good now.

Love the country

To think this is only 2 miles from my house

Pack Meeting

For Connor's pack meeting, they had a contest between parent and scout. We had a fun time,  here are some pictures of the night. Connor and Grandma in the competition

The paper plate plane. The kids had a blast with it.

Connor was actually pretty good, he scored a lot of points.

Our 30th Anniversary Weekend!

On our drive to Steamboat Springs, Loren saw this cow and thought it would make a good picture for the kids. So, we stopped and it is a great picture! 

We rented the presidential suite, so I took lots of pictures, we probably won't do it again until maybe the 50th, so I wanted memories.

This TV was so high on the wall, that every time we watched a movie, my neck killed me.

One of the fun parts of the Presidential is that there is a hot tub on the deck...we were on the 3rd floor so this felt seriously private

Taylor is always full of conversation, she loves to talk!

The kids room

The bedrooms were upstairs.

We went to Cold Stone on Saturday for a special treat, then went back to the condo and watched a movie.

We stopped in Kemmerling on the way home for a picnic in the city center. We got all the fixings out and started making sandwiches...then the BEE's came to visit

Loren and Connor played catch

After the bee's everyone scattered, Aubrey and Taylor eventually ate in the car.

The leaves were changing, the drive was beautiful

The little town we had lunch

BYU vs Air Force

We went to see the BYU game at the Air Force Academy. Although BYU lost big time, the game was very fun. We went early and brought fried chicken, chips, candy, potatoe salad and all sorts of yummy stuff. We had a great time with all the other tailgaters. We have decided this will for sure be something we do every year.

During the game there were many tributes to the Sept 11, 2001 attacks. Two firefighters came from New York. One lost two brothers in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, one brother in each tower.
