Sammy's 1st Day of Pre-School

Holy cow, our baby is off to pre-school!

Today was kinda sad, because they took

him by the hand outside and walked him

into class, but as they started walking away

he got nervous and began to cry. I just

had to get in my car and drive off. It broke

my heart, because Sam and I both thought

we were going into his class together to make

sure he was comfortable enough for me to

leave. When I picked him up his teacher came

out and said he cheered up after a few minutes

and only asked when mom was coming back 10

different times. He has been so excited to go to

school, but I think he thought Carter was going

to be able to go with him. I'm sure after a few

more times he will love it.

Carter's 1st Day of Kindergarden

Carter is finally heading off to kindergarden!!!

Wow, I can not believe he is that big already.

They have dress code, which is not way exciting.

He is still handsome anyway. He had a great first

day. When I asked what they did, first he said "I

don't know", then he said "we played and drew a

picture". I'm glad he was fine with me leaving him

there, some kids were shedding a few tears.

He can't wait to go back today!

Drayben's 1st Deer

Chris took Drayben up to Enterprise, UT and this

is what came of it. Drayben was so excited, he is

like his dad and loves to hunt. He was even more

excited that it fell right where he hit it, so

they didn't have to go chase it down.

Watching the daring rescue from our house

The helicopter taking off after 3 1/2 hours of

trying to get the injured hiker out of the canyon

he fell into. They flew at least 12 or more

search and rescue up there to help. It was cool

watching that helicopter land on that small

spot every time. The hiker was reported missing

on Sunday (8-16-09) and was finally spotted by a

helicopter on Tuesday morning (8-18-09). The man

was from SLC, he got lost and ran out of water. He

was lucky, just broke a few things and was very dehydrated.

Beaver Mountian with Josh and Tara (few weeks before hunt)

Smores are so delicious!

Sorry the post are out of order a little. These

last 2 post should have been before the 1st

weekend of the hunt post.

Angie and Tara took the boys for a ride. It must

have been real relaxing, because Sam fell asleep.

Having a blast on the 4-wheeler!

It was so beautiful on the mountain and

the weather was a nice change from the

St. George heat.

Angie's Birthday

Chris took this for me, how cute are they?

Getting old! 31 candles is a lot to blow out, good

thing I had the kids help.

1st Weekend of the Hunt on Beaver Mountain

Angie (1st time ever hunting), Chris and Garth just

getting ready to go out for the evening hunt.

8-16-09

Drayben helping clean up camp. This was his 1st

real hunting experience too. Now that you can hunt

when you are 12 years of age. Nobody ended up

getting anything this trip, next time!

Carter and Sam doing their favorite thing while we are

on the mountain. They would never get off unless we

made them. Sam thinks he is the coolest on it!
