I think we have a budding photographer on our hands

A Ride to Deer Creek

We took a ride to Deer Creek, up Provo Canyon (and BTW I love the new four lane highway) I heard that Deer Creek is at 100% capacity, it hasn't been that way for a long time. So we took a ride to see.

We came across some...water skiers, but instead of being behind a boat they were behind a kite, like the one hang gliders use. It was awesome to see how fast they were going, and how well they controlled the glider/kite. I'm sure someone knows what kind of water sport this is called ...."Glider Skiing"....or "Kite Skiing" or maybe some other name.

Graduation Pictures

I decided to take Erin's graduations pictures myself. Plus my new camera needs to start paying for itself!

I love taking Erin's picture. She is so willing to pose. Getting her to smile and look at the camera at the same time was a challenge. You also need to take the pictures quickly, because she is easily distracted. She also has to always be holding something. Usually it is her bag, (with all her "stuff" in it) or a can of pepsi. And we really didn't want to give Pepsi any Free advertising. So I talked her into holding a flower for her pictures. She did a great job. i am so proud of her. And Bruce was a great assistant, I couldn't have done it without him. Thanks Hon.







Now that the pictures are done we will be sending out Erin's Graduation Announcements in the next week or two.....I can't belive she is graduating

Antelope Island

We took a drive to Antelope Island the other day. It's another one of those Utah Places I have not been to. Bruce and the boys have been a couple of times with Young Mens & with scouts. But Me I have never been. I highly reccomend it, it was a great place. We went before the brine flies could "bug" us.


Of course there are the Antelopes. Believe me they are there, they just blend in really well.

And you have to stop at the Visitors Center, it has all the info about the Island. And you need to stop and take pictures by all the "fake" Bison.


I think everyone comes to Antelope Island to see all the wildlife and that includes the Buffalo.




The Scenery was awesome, and again I took way to many pictures. Thats what happens when you have a new digital camera.
Its hard to believe we still have tons of snow in the mountains.

It's always Fun when Mckai comes.....

We love having Mckai come and hang out at our house. He is so much fun and so full of energy.

He loves to enlist any and everyone in what he is doing. And his favorite person is Grandpa.



Mckai found 2 baskets, one little and one big one. He got Grandpa to get in the big basket, him in the little one and found a blanket to put over them to hide from grandma.




When I looked all over for them...(Its hard not to miss a huge blanket in the middle of the frontroom floor)....I finally found them and took the blanket off. He laughed and laughed, he thought it was soooo funny that Grandma couldn't find them.



I think Grandpa would do just about anything for this cute little boy.....even climbing in a basket and hiding under a blanket.




Of course it helps to get Hugs and Kisses!




It's hard to believe that these BIG FEET......





Belong to this Sweet Little Boy!





Mckai loves to jump, and from just about anywhere....stairs, boxes, beds, trampolines...

Yep ......this Boy has Tons of energy, and he knows how to use it!

More Moab Pictures....

Here are some more pictures we took from Moab.

We watched some Jeeps come down a huge rock up "Slick Rock" canyon just East of Moab. It was Fun to watch, they all got out, and looked at it before they started down, and then they all came down one behind the other.

There are also some pictures from inside Arches National Park, which was awesome.
