Catching up...sorta

Our summer has been a busy one so I will just quickly throw some pictures out of some of the things we have done.

Car show. Notice when the children are smiling...with the NEW and FAST cool cars...forget the classics.









This picture was for me. This beauty is called the Vista Cruiser and this IS the car that my family drove growing up. My father was a used car salesman and could have picked for us anything off the lot to drive, but this is the beauty he chose. Ours however, was a dark green color with faux wood paneling along the sides...very HOT!



This is an abandoned train track that back in the early 1900's used to go all the way up to Yellowstone.


Breakfast is almost ready.



What doesn't look quite right in this picture...any guesses?


Hiking and Sunny's assumed position.



Stevey and these three (Clover refused to walk this day) went on a HUGE 4 hour hike to the lower Mesa Falls falls and had a great time. Clover and I enjoyed the afternoon at camp beating off the flies and worrying about these guys.


Dalton and his buddy McKade cracking themselves up while I am trying to take pictures of the snake bites they received from a snake attack which occurred during their filming a documentary entitled "Snake Attack".



My VICE or is it VISE! The kids will trash the basement and the little girls will get into the game closet (in which I am standing to take this picture) and empty out all of the games and puzzles while I am upstairs enjoying a peaceful moment away for the children....serves me right.



Some "twiners" pictures...Zoie did love it and Sunny just liked playing with her on the tramp.



"The cozy tree" debut. This is only one small section of the show....I love these skirts.



Sunny and Clover jumping off of the wall and playing...do you like Clovers skirt? A cozy tree original.



This is the billy goat that tried to eat all of Zoies hair during our trip to Bear World.

Spiritual Thought

Today during the opening exercises of Elders Quorum and High Priests (Bryan this is what the men classes are called in our church and Stevey is the Elders Quorum fearless leader) anyway, Stevey was welcoming all of the men to class and getting things started with a nice spiritual thought from the scriptures he was holding in his left hand while juggling our nap deprived 18 month old Sunny in the other. Where was mom you might be asking yourselves...I was in the woman's class, Relief Society leading the music, because that is one of my jobs in the church.

Well, Sunny got it into her head that it was dinner time for dad and he was going to EAT his tie. It's not too difficult to visualize Stevey looking like a million bucks in his church suit and scriptures in hand, with a VERY determined and angry child in other aggressively trying to shove her dads tie into his mouth while he is trying to talk. The more Stevey tried to avert the tie assault the louder and more aggressively Sunny went for it. Needless to say, I don't think the 40+ men in the classroom who witnessed the assault will remember what Stevey read from the scriptures today, but rather reflect on the event and get a good laugh all over again on this "sunny" sabbath day.
