Have you seen this Guy?

My Dad!!

For all of you who haven't seen Chris lately, we thought we would share the most recent portrait of him. Boone really captured the facial hair and gave dad some great teeth. Thanks Boone.

Fishy!! Fishy!!

We spent a great evening on Strawberry Resivor Monday for family night. We were glad to have Grandpa & Grandma McBride join us. Each of the kids took turns fishing in the canoe with them, which helped us a ton. We caught lots of fish and had a great time. I think Boone's Cutthrout Trout was the largest in our family,but at 19" was not large enough to keep. Ben was sure proud to have caught himself a crawfish, and even pretended to eat the one Grandpa had caught.

Labor Day Campout!!

We had a great Labor Day weekend camping with friends and family. We had a picnic at Payson Lakes on Saturday. Where we let all our kids paddle themselves aroud the lake. They just continue to surprize me, that it's time to let go a little. I remember Tavia and I going all over Smith Lake in a little raft when I was probably Maddy's age. Funny though, I don't remember wearing a life jacket. But the kids highlight of the trip had to be the awesome fort they found and finished into a small cabin. They were up there constanly working on it, and even ate lunch in it one day.
Then the last night there the fog, rain, and thunder rolled in. It was fun to stay indoors and play some games with Grandma & Grandpa. We stayed mostly dry except for one window that leaked. After a very muddy exit we came home to SNOW on our mountains.
