Hey we had a quick trip to Idaho Falls last weekend and this is what we saw on our trip..

This was the back seat on the trip..

This was the kids on saturday. Enjoying out wonderful leaf pile..

This is clayton with a couple cousins two weeks ago..

Hey all this is our little scholar. This is a picture of her at Pre-School Graduation in the spring. In the mail the other day we received a letter from the Principal of Crystal's school. My first thought of my sweet little girl was "what did she do"! Well she did do something but it was very good. The school has an Accelerated Reader program at school. The kids read something then take a test and each test she takes she gets points for doing well. The most that she can earn in one school year is 25 points. Well she has 10 and has had her picture put up on the Reading wall of fame.. The Principal hopes she can get all 25 points by the end of the year. I figure is she can get 10 points the first 6 weeks of school the last 15 points will be done just about as quickly, I am thinking she might even get it done around Christmas if she keep up the good work. We sure are proud of her. She loves school and works had at learning to read. Her goal is to be able to read books to her little brother. She sure has a great big heart.

Down in a hole!!!!

It took a while to get this pictures but here they are. Joe and three of his friends wanted to go on a 4-wheeling/caving trip. Well it happened to be the same day as the General RS Broadcast so I declined the invitation to go along (plus I can't breath in caves so it was for the best). So off Joe and his friends went with our two kids and two of our buddies kids.

That would have been fun to have passed that group on the mountain, 4 men and 4 kids. They all had lots of fun , and I had a GREAT time at the RS broadcast. Our Stake had a dinner prier to the broadcast. It was nice to see my friends from other wards we don't run into very often now that we have moved to a new building. If you didn't see the broadcast try to get a copy of it and watch it.

Clayton with his new daytime best friend. Crystals Favorite doll Abby!!

Clayton was running in the house a couple weeks ago, when I heard a blood curdling cry. Clayton had grabbed a fork from the kitchen before he began running and when he fell he just about lost an eye. Luckily for all of us he just missed his eyeball. He has learned that you don't run with things in your hand.

Just thought I would let you know what we have been up to this week. Friday we went out to dinner with some friends. It was fun to have a couple to hang out with instead of just all single people, Though we do love the single people we hang out with also.. Last night one our our single guy buddies offered to watch the kids so we could go out to dinner just the two of us.. We took him up on the offer. When we got home the kids were in bed (not asleep). Shortly after we had some more people over and played games until 11. It was tons of fun though. I thought I would put in some pictures of my Roses, I think they still believe it is summer it has been so nice. The Roses are booming like Crazy..

Here we are again. One year later and we are still married and better yet we are still in Love and still even like each other. We have now been married for 8 wonderful years and can't believe how blessed we are to have found each other. We love you all. Here are some pictures our last 8 years and the reason we do what we do each day.. Joe and Rosie

I Love Blog's

I just wanted to say what a blessing starting a blog has been. I have found A LOT of family blogs, Family that I don't see very often. I love being able to see what all the family all over the county has been up to and see the pictures of their beautiful families. What a blessing family is. My Dad sent and email the other day asking us to Pray For my Cousin Susan's little boy Neal who is in the hospital and Dad said "Isn't it wonderful that, in a Celestial family sealed together for eternity, we can all join our faith and prayers together in special times like this." How true this is. I have seen the power of prayer when a family combines their faith. This is the biggest blessing in my life. Without family The Journey and the finish line would be pretty dull and lonely.

Hey all I was told I needed some more pictures. Until my computer is fixed so it works right I will have to just do a couple at a time. This is Joe and I with Paul, Amanda, Linette and Todd. We had just gotten off the river after a 12 mile rafting trip that took 50 minutes. We were going pretty fast and we got pretty wet before it was all said and done. Once I Get the computer working right I will do a slide show about all our different adventures this summer. Oh ya the tall skinny guy with no shirt on is our just turned 18 year old river guide..

Hey all I we are busy trying to keep things going. Once I figure out this dumb computer of mine that is as old as the hills I will get some cooler things on here. Right now it won't let me. So I will keep working on it so keep checking.. This is a Pic of Crystal and her JoJo with one of the "BAD" guys after the shoot out in Cody This summer

Hey all, life is going... Crystal is now half way through her third week of school. Joe just got home from Riverton where he was sent by the college to take a class. We are all glad he is home. Clayton and I are busy keeping things together and doing some service, and playgroups.
