and more fishing...

I love to fish and thank goodness I have a wonderful guide who tolerates my snags and loves to see me catch fish more than himself.
I absolutely love this guy, isn't he so cute.

More fishing..

Eric and Neicell playing at the boat dock
Neicell's fish. This is the 3 time I have been sitting with my pole in the water so the fly is just on the surface and caught a little one. Neicell loved it, but she was in a hurry to get it back in the water just after this picture she over hand threw it in the river.

Fiesta at lunch time. The girls jumped out of the boat and played with the rocks. I never realized how creative my kids minds were creating objects out of rocks.
This was Erickell's cannon ball

24th in Idaho

Getting ready to fish the warm river.
Eric and his dad, aren't they cute?

Neicell and I floating down the river, the girls kept saying it was a lazy river.

Erickell, enough said.

Happy Birthday Big Daddy

Wow can he blow.
Eric finally got his Osprey backpack. And I finally found one on sale. We were hoping to back up in Alpine this weekend but our dear little Neicell's health has put a damper on us letting her out of our sight. Eric had a wonderful birthday, well atleast I enjoyed his day. He woke up early and started working on HIS new detached garage (sore subject). Then off to lunch at Market Street, yummy. Then, we returned clothes I bought him, I never win. Finally, ribeye steak dinner with his favorite trimmings. Spoiled? You could say so. I love this man with all my heart I would give him the world if I could. I love ya babe. Happy Birthday!

County Swim Meet

I am very proud to say Erickell took 4 at county in the freestyle and first in breast stroke if she wouldn't have gotten disqualified for doing a flutter kick at the end, darnit. Eric decided that going to swim meets is the most boring thing ever. I beg to differ. I got a lot of people watching in and reading.

My darling nephew Bridger. We were so lucky to have my sisters kids on the swim team as well. It made it nice for car pooling and having fun at the meets. My little nephew and niece also kick butt at swimming must be in the gene pool, heehee

Highland Fountain Park

Neicell what a sport she still posed for me
Kell got a little cold, the wimp

Baby Brooks, what a trooper. Isn't he the cutest little boy ever...


Lehi Invitational -Swim Meet



My little Dory, Erickell is amazing. She took first place in freestyle at the Lehi swim meet. I am so proud of this swim chick. She could swim before swim team but never got the breathing down. It took her a month and she is a swimin fish. It is sad to say I took swimming lessons this year and it took me lets just say months....

My other Man, George

My sweetie and I
Emily and I
Melanie and I
As you all know I have fantasized over George Strait since I was 12 years old. He is the man of dreams, of course after Eric. He finally came in concert after many many years of waiting. My friends and I tried with all our might to get better tickets but didn't so we sat on the lawn and enjoyed him from a distance. Yes, I got teary eyed watching him come out on stage.

Cedar Hills Park

Neicell
This park is fabulous. The kids can float down the shallow little creek and the Momma's can sit and shoot the bull for hours. Melanie and I had a joyous time just sitting back and relaxing. Oh, summer days...
