Some things

So I have a few pictures on the computer, I think I will try to do a mass "here is us for the last year" post. So let's not go back a year, that is just crazy. Lets start with the house. I haven't gone through the house and gotten pictures, but we have been busy outside, and I have tried to document that a little. So First off, we on a whim decided to remove the two trees on the east of our property that were diseased and dead. Luckily we have some GREAT neighbors that were extremely helpful! So here are Nathan and LaVar getting ready to get ot work. You can see how sad the two trees look.
It's so fun to watch a tree fall.

We had such a huge mess to clean up, but yet again we had wonderful helpers.

I think it looks a little different, and I kinda miss the trees but it is such a relief to not have to worry about them killing all the neighbors trees.

So in June we went on a vacation home with some friends. We have taken some of them to La Sal a few times before, but they hadn't been there in summer, so we were able to show a different side of the ranch.First up, Repelling! Nathan was having fun going commando (face first). I was being the baby watcher so I didn't get to go, but next time we will be a little less crazy and I will go too.

Arches. We were hanging out next to delicate, waiting for our turn for pictures. My friend Janina has a better camera, so she got most of the pictures there.
We got back to the car after delicate and found that our odometer had turned!

Dead Horse Point. It was so windy we were afraid we were going to be picked up and thrown off the edge.
Let's go fly a kite!A wonderful neighbor let us borrow a horse for a day. Everyone loved it but Jeslyn.Swimming at the reservoir. For all who know what the reservoir is like, that is the spillway. The last time I remember the spillway being full and overflowing was when I was about 10 years old. It was so great to see.What is a vacation without a fashion show?We went over Hell's revenge in the jeep, and at one point Janina and I were to chicken to stay in the jeep, so Nathan and Zachary took the jeep for this fun ride. I was nervous just watching them, so I was glad I didn't stay in.

Helping Dad drive!Hanging out at the park after jeeping. This is such a fun park!
Hook and Ladder
Goblin Valley. No injuries this time Wahoo!
The dinosaur quary.

I don't have any more pictures, so until I get the camera downloaded again, I guess we are done even though that is just the first week of summer.
