Summer Swimming

Swimming lessons ....2nd round this summer! What you can not see, is the fact that Morgan was diving off into the deep end! I could not believe it. She did it and was able to swim back to the edge all by herself. Landon and his friends were getting intrusctions on how to move their arms while swimming freestyle. Landon is learning quickly and we are proud of both of them.

Floor Camping

Now for Sunday night...some big, nasty, black thunder clouds came upon Davis County and ruined a camp out, but the

next best thing...camping floor style! Fun for all!

Camping out!

Well, the girls faired just fine Friday night! So Landon wanted to try it Saturday night. Everyone slept like babies and no one even got up to go potty...that is a first in a very long time. I think sleeping in the tent just became a new favorite of everyone's!

The Wind River's

Today Travis received his certificate for passing his CNA course. We are all proud of him! The journey to nursing school has begun, again! ha

I took this picture of the Wind River Mt. Range on our way home Father's Day afternoon. I sure do miss seeing those beautiful mountains every day.

Enjoying a night with the stars!

Tonight the girls are sleeping out with the stars! I say they will be inside before 3:00 a.m. But they are both pretty brave so we shall see! Maddison returned home from Young Women's Camp today. She had a great time and Morgan can finally stop crying herself to sleep at night now! She missed her big sister terribly.

Happy Father's Day Finally Arrives

Happy Father's Day finally arrived this afternoon, thanks to UPS! Travis hopes to use the Welding Helmet soon, but if not Landon has agreed to wear it occasionally to make sure it looks used! We sure do love daddy!!

Hulk and Daddy Taking a Break!

Catching Flies

Arriving in California Friday night! Long trip I guess!! :)

Hoover Bridge

Hoover Damm Bridge

This is the new bridge they are building over the river side at Hoover Damm. They want less traffic over the Damm road. It was really amazing to look over the edge and see how far down it was and then to see the bridge!!!! It is really an amazing project!

California Vacation Picture's

This is the beginning of our trip, at the Outlet Malls in Las Vegas. Literally, just moments after I took this photo ( as I was putting the camera away ) I heard a large SPLASH! Yep, Morgan took the plunge as she was trying to play in the water!!! Soaking wet, crying and worried that EVERYONE was looking at her, we walked back to the van to change clothes. Not a good start to our trip, but funny for those of us who were not Morgan!
