My oh my, where has the summer gone?

Nothing too exciting has been happening in our lives over the past few weeks. Daniel and I are getting things in order for us both to start school. He will start on the 17th and I start again on the 24th (one more year for me! woot!) It is International Days this weekend here in Price and my dancers are dancing this year at opening ceremonies and in the park on Saturday. It'll be fun to see them dance again, I know they've missed it, as have I.

We are going the rodeo in Castle Dale this weekend, we haven't been since Daniel and I were dating, but I convinced Daniel to go with me on Saturday evening.

At lastly, for the past two evenings I have had the "privelege" :) of watching bow hunting, and last night Daniel was getting excited for the bow hunt this year that he wanted to go out and practice shooting his bow... in his bright green mountain dew pajama pants. I love this boy!

4th of July Fun!

This past weekend we were able to go to Richfield and spend time with Daniel's family. I have never seen any fireworks other than those here in Price at the Fairgrounds, but the show down in Richfield was amazing compared to those here. We went fishing with Daniel's Aunt and Uncle and their 5 kids, the night before we ran to Walmart to get the girls pink fishing poles that Brian had promised them. Luckily they had just gotten in a new batch of Princess poles, surprisingly the eleven dollar poles were the best at catching the fish!


Brigham, 5, with the catch of the day, he told everyone later that he was a world class fisherman!


Jake, 10, with his catch on the princess pole :)


Colton,12, with his big one, also caught on the princess pole


Maddie, 3, my shadow, with the stray kitten that showed up at Grandma's

Little Maren, 2, figured out how to swing, biggest blue eyes!

Little Cassidy, 3, loves her "Dano"

Most of Sunday Daniel devoted his time to unclogging Grandma's sink, they finally got it cleared out around 4 o'clock. Luckily it happened when we were there to help resolve the problem. I went to sacrament meeting with Debbie and the kids, Brigham had a nice chuckle about the size of the sacrament bread (it was miniature because there were so many people in sacrament meeting).

And last but clearly not least, Daniel had a very fun experience - he got to shoot to his Uncle Kirk's 50 Caliber rifle, hence the video. He now wants one eventually, even though it is not economically wise to shoot them at all, its about 2-5 bucks a bullet. He had a blast, they were shooting at 1000 yards. I'll have him write more when he is home next.. not sure when that'll be, he's working on the skyling up Huntington Canyon for the next two weeks.

We have a video, but I couldn't get it to work, I will try again!
