Labor Day Weekend

This weekend we had a couple of things planned. My family went to Snow Basin to ride the gondola up the mountain and hike around. The kids were so excited however Tyker did not know what to think when we hopped on the lift. It comes around really slow for you to get on and then it takes of pretty fast. His eyes were as big as dollars. It is so gorgeous up there and I would recommend anyone who hasn't gone up to do so. On the way back down there is this water hole where a mama moose and her baby like to hang out. We saw them laying there on our way down so that was fun for the kids. Then ryan and his friends decided they wanted to go camping. It was labor day and all so you all know that finding a spot to camp would be pretty tricky, we ended up at Newton Dam!! Yeah not my idea of camping but I went with the flow and had Ryan get all the stuff ready while I was at Snow Basin. When we got home we headed for the dam. Dave and Heather borrowed Jaren and Tony's trailer and they brought Tony's parents motor home or should I say the Hilton. They warned us it was big but we didn't realize it was going to be that big. We had a great time and thanks to the Hollingsworths and Barson's for inviting us, we need to do it again!!

Back To School!!

Well summer is officially over for us. School started yesterday and Texie was so excited she could hardly sleep. Her teacher is Mrs. Bennet. Texie seems to really like her and we are looking forward to a great year. Taydem is in kindergarten this year but he doesn't start until Thursday the 28th. His teacher is Mrs. Peterson. We went to Back to School night on Wednesday and met with his teacher. He is excited to go but mom is going to miss him at home with her.

Texie Special Day!!

On August 2, 2008 Texie was officially the newest member of the LDS Church. Her dad baptized her and confirmed her. This was Ryan's first experience using the priesthood power. He was pretty nervous as he was awake till three in the morning stewing over it. But those of you that know Ryan know how awesome he is with words. He did such a great job and I am so proud of him. Texie we love you and are so happy for the decision you made to get baptized and your sweet spirit you bring to our family. Thanks to everyone who came and made this day special for Texie. We have such great friends and family who we all love.
