Parking the trailer

Check out this PARKING job!!! Carston even told me that I did a GREAT job:). We had some warranty work done on the trailer and I had the privilege of picking it up. Well, Mike is out of town so I thought I'd try to park the trailer on my own before I sent for the neighbor. After just a few minutes I had it right where I wanted. I was soooooo excited that I conquered yet another fear with the trailer - the first just pulling it and the second parking it (even if it was just on the street - I still had to back it up and Carston did a GREAT job guiding).

Relay for Life

After a long night of walking

Mike's parents and brother



This is what happens when Madi and Dawson spent the night at Lynette's. Yes, that is "hot pink" eyeshadow and fingernail polish!! They had blast!

July 11 - 12 we were able to participate in the Relay for Life. Mike has 3 members of his family that are survivors (his mom and brother were diagnosed within 2 weeks of each other and his dad was diagnosed about a year later - all of this in the last 3 years). So we were pretty excited to be a part of a great event. My turn to walk was from 1 - 2 a.m. and Carston, Tanner and Mike were all ready to walk with me. We had done about 2 laps and I told the boys that it was time that they could go and get warm and watch a movie while we finished. Tanner asked if he could walk just 2 more laps - come to find out he wanted to walk 8 miles before he went to bed. By the time Relay for Life ended Tanner walked a total of 9 1/2 miles. Carston was close behind with 7 miles. Madi and Dawson spent the night at Lynette's - they were so EXCITED!!

Fourth of July


Even though it is July it was COLD this morning!

Check out the Tetons!!!

Doing a little archery shooting while in Driggs.

We spent the Fourth camping with friends. Friday, the fourth, was an early morning as we headed to Driggs to watch the hot air balloons take off, then off to the Victor parade. While we were waiting I saw my uncle Wayne and some of my cousins - I forgot that Tom lives up there. It was nice to visit and catch up a little. The dates on the pictures are off by one day - I didn't realize the date was wrong until it was to late.
