2024 Go for the Gold

Lilbug really liked watching the gymnastic portion of the Olympics

Bubbles and Swimming

Lilbug put her bubbles in the swimming pool

Ice Fun

Lilbug had so much fun playing with this new twist on melting ice. We put some of her plastic toys in a container, filled it with water and froze it.

My Visit to the Doc

While we were in Bear Lake, I some how twisted my knee wrong, and for the past few weeks I have been icing and heating my knee in hopes that it will feel better. So finally yesterday I went to the doctors office. After some X-rays the doctor concluded that it was Runners Knee...The real name is Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. I sure think it is funny that a person like me who DOES NOT run can get Runners Knee. However when I was a young child I had horrible knock knees (Genu Valgum) which can be associated with Runners Knee.
I am now sporting a knee brace which helps with the pain when I kneel or go up and downstairs.

A Great Visit From a Great Aunt

This last week end Aunt Pat come up from Las Vegas to see the kids. We don't get to see Aunt Pat to often so it was great that the kids got to spend some time with her.

FHE

I do have to admit that Clint and I don't really do Family Home Evening. A week ago, Clint decided that we should start doing Family Home Evening. So tonight was our second time doing Family Home Evening. Lilly absolutely loved it. Not to brag but she says really sincere prayers. She makes sure everyone is blessed....even the horses.
If you are interesting in a few FHE ideas here are some that I like

Ready, Set....Put up the Gate!!!

A few days before we left for Bear Lake, Deacon decided that he was ready to start crawling. He would get up on his knees and hands and rock back and forth as if he was getting ready to shoot off. While we were at Bear Lake he really took to crawling. Trenton however is very content on sitting and laying down.

Bear Lake 2008

Clint with the boys and my dad......sleeping as usual!

Instead of bringing our jet ski's this year to Bear Lake, we decided to rent a boat and a water banana. It was so much fun.

D, Lil, and T

It was really nice to escape to Bear Lake for a few days. Even if the kids ended up with colds when we left, probably because they didn't sleep very well at night.

Net, and B bringing Lilly back so that we could take a family picture. She wanted to go play on the playground.

He is a Cutie

Alex, (my younger brother) and Kelsey had their baby boy on August 5 2008. It is a good thing Baby Tyce looks like Kelsey...just kidding.

The total of boy cousins is 7 and girl cousins is 1...(poor Lilly)

Grandpa's Funeral

It was a very nice viewing and funeral.
My Grandmother, Mother, Aunts and Uncles were able to say a few words about my Grandfather at the funeral.
